Missed Eclipse, friends and Summer says goodbye!

Aug. 21- 24th 2017




Manic MONDAY!!! and it was ECLIPSE day!
Coming back from a weekend is always difficult. I almost never come into Monday with my voice mail free of weekend calls or client hospitalizations. This Monday was no different. After Monday morning team meeting I was off to connect with clients and bring on the day. I had a new co-worker Heather shadow me in the field.
All week and all morning all I heard about was the ECLIPSE.....its finally here. DO NOT LOOK!!!
Apparently Upstate NY is not in the path of the eclipse....but hey people, don't we all see the same sun? Wont I see something?
I watched it on tv with one of my clients who was interested himself then quickly rushed outside to attempt to catch my own moon shadow. "total eclipse of the heart.....see you on the dark side of the moon...." Just two of the songs that were heard playing on the radio today!

 This is me trying to get a pic without looking at the sun....AHHHHHAAGGG my eyes will burn out of my skull.....(this is Heather above) Below is my first attempt at catching the sun without looking....LOL I had the phone on selfie. (WOW the top of my head is rather attractive.)

 After several shots backwards and directly without looking up....I decided that perhaps I had missed it. Oh well. it was fun while trying.

Tuesday after a long day at work...I met up with some current and a former co-worker at Bull and Bear for $4- burger night....lets not forget the 2 for 1 Margarita's    

We had tornado warnings all afternoon...and I got caught in some pretty intense rain....Some areas even lost power. Burgers, drinks and friends was the goal and no stinkin weather was gonna get in our way.
Tracy, Marquita, Stacey and I were some of the "originals" at work. Marquita has moved on to other things....I still work with Tracy and Stacey...LOVE!!!!

 Cheers!

Wednesday: After two hours of a very difficult client, all I wanted to do when I got home was vacuum the pool, make dinner and chill.....HOWEVER....my son had a date at the mall on Thursday and it was imperative that his hair be CUT....REALLY? I spent nearly three hours trying to find just the right stylist. His favored was busy and after some miscommunication when we returned later she was actually leaving for the day and my son was dead set against the alternative.
We then tried another place that was closed, and yet another....Gavin took one look at the stylist who promptly after escorting him to the chair began chatting on her cell phone, he was NOT getting his hair cut by this lady. I know he's picky (and I am not) even I would have been put off by this.
One last place before we were once again going to try a place where the inexperienced stylist had butchered his hair.
The heavens looked down on us in pity and just as we walked through the doors of a place called Utopia.....Matt urged Gavin towards his seat. PERFECT!!!!! I do believe we have a new stylist.
I was scheduled to come in myself Thursday, but after trying to juggle my work schedule I had to CA.  Mark had pizza and wings waiting..... my pool has one very defined clean line across the bottom...(I did not return to this job after the haircuts)...my head hit the pillow around 8pm and I was out!
Thursday:
The Great NY state fair started yesterday, I go back to school myself next Thursday, Gavin starts back in two weeks, the stores are filled with Halloween candy, notebooks and fall decor.....SUMMER is ENDING!!!!! Just where did it go? Was it ever really here?
So glad the weekend is coming soon! TTFN
