    September chitchat

    September seems to mean the end of summer, and so here we are--though I can recall some very very hot Septembers in Chicago. But schoolchildren are back in school, and that must mean winter will be happening before we know it.

    People with MS who have heat intolerance are probably glad to see the end of summer. I for one am especially glad--though I do like cheerful sunshine and colorful plants and trees, and seeing people outdoors enjoying the long bright days.

    Summers near the Great Lakes were always a time to gravitate toward Lake Michigan if you lived in Chicago. I can't resist noting that schoolchildren who have traditionally taught to memorize the names of those lakes by thinking of HOMES will now have to think of HAMES, apparently, since one of the names is being changed. Since HAMES isn't a word that I know of, it will have to be SHAME, won't it?

    I hope that anyone who is reading here will enjoy a September with only good weather and good health. And if you like fall foliage, get ready for it:

    Happy September! Today we're supposed to get the hottest temperature so far this year - 99 degrees. And the very high temps will continue until Friday.

      Stock up on ice cubes, I guess? And hope for no power outages? Too bad about your weather, jingle--unless you're one of those people who just love hot weather.

      Thanks for checking in. How has your summer been?

        It's been quite cool here. It won't be long till I'm using the SAD lamp. My mood tends to dip a bit. Youngest granddaughter came round to do some cleaning. She showed me videos of my great granddaughter doing gymnastics. My great granddaughter is very good at it.
        Yet inside there is this perpetual nagging doubt;
        the feeling we are possessed by a 'subtle lack of togetherness''.

          I don't like or enjoy hot weather, but I would rather have that than extreme cold. I dread weather with snow and ice. I think I'm just a grumpy old woman who can complain or whine about anything. I don't have many talents but I sure whine good.

            It's the ice after the snow that I didn't like, because my balance isn't good. The days of walking outside on my own, they aren't coming back.I'm OK at budgeting, and being a dad/granddad/gt granddad. Mentioning the other thing I'm quite good at, it's a social faux pas.

              Wow, Prot, I'm not good at budgeting. I'm awful with money - I spend too much on things I don't need and then wonder where it went.
