I am getting to a stage where I think I need to reengage with a mental health coach again. Last time I needed it was when my dad had visited us two years back and it made a world of a difference to me. It may be time to do another go!

Our sprinkler system stopped working right after deck work started. I already had a feeling that when the contractors fixed the deck they probably cut some wires hence our sprinkler system was not working. The app said water was on while there was no motor running or water coming out of the system. I called our regular sprinkler guy to come over and in 5 minutes he was like yep, they cut the power. Thankfully the power was connected via a rain sensor so all he had to do was bypass the rain sensor and it was working again. He then proceeds to tell us we have two rain sensors that previous owners installed and basically the whoever put it in fleeced our old owners. The rachio controller along with the app are basically rain sensors and there is no need of an external rain sensor to ‘sense’ rain. And we have two of ’em. He then went ahead and cleaned up all the wiring, disconnected the sensors and cleaned up the panel. All of this for 50$! I am sure if I had called irrigation “specialists” this would have been a hundreds of dollars repair. Moral of story – once you find a good handyman/electrician/plumber, do NOT let them go!
The current occupant of the people’s house is a cockroach who can survive a nuclear blast too. Wake me up when something actually happens to the cockroach.
After 4 nights of partying body is like bro just sleep. Not that we drank too much or did anything crazy. Our nights ended at 1:30am and no one was waking up before 9am so not like we didn’t rest – just that body is simply not used to this either anymore 😆. We are fighting age at this point I suppose!
A great weekend spent in company of good friends and good food.

What an exhilarating watch! This was so good. Must watch in theater! Glad it was still running.
Absilutely spending stretch of weather since last week and continuing into next. Sept and October are the best months to be in dc area and I hope this stretch continues. Sure I want it to be warm but I will take this too!
One thing led to another and we ended up having an impromptu party last night at ours where everyone of our friends showed up and it was a blast!
Kid got math homework first week of school. “It’s only 1 page!” she proclaimed before turning it over in no time. Yesterday the teacher sent everyone an email that while homework counts for only 5% of overall grade, it still does count…. and the entire class scored an F. It was so joyous to see the kid getting a rude awakening of High School expectations. All her friends also had similar pikachu faces it seems. Welcome to adulting kid 😀
In my retirement I want to become an executive assistant to a VP and be in charge of scheduling meetings day in and out while also getting all the gossip from other EAs. Added bonus is I will get to travel with VP wherever they go and be in charge of food & drinks so it will all be according to my wishes at expensive places. What a low stress high reward job!
