Over the next 4 months we have Labor Day, Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, no less than 4 birthdays (in our family) plus a whole bunch of school events, lots of sporting events, hunting a few times, taxes due (October 15th) and snow to deal with. Throw in the election, a bunch of work, 8 football games and some unknown things that will pop up, as they always do, and it&#8217;ll be a pretty busy 120 days. Kind of overwhelming if you think about it. All you can do is take it one day at a time.<\/p>\n<p>So today I have a list of things to do before leaving tomorrow. It&#8217;s a combination of work and household chores from going to the bank to getting the kids haircuts. Lori was home late again. I was actually at the hospital for over 2 hours yesterday myself as I have a small lump on my left thumb and we couldn&#8217;t figure out what it was. After some free x-rays, I hung out until Dr. Viola (the hand specialist) was out of surgery, to have him take a look at it. Turns out it&#8217;s just a ganglion cyst which is just fluid that was pushed out of a joint from working out. I&#8217;ve had them on my foot before and had them drained but never on my thumb. He said we can leave it alone if it doesn&#8217;t bother me or have it cut out at the base. Surgery is free (one of our perks with Lori working at the clinic) but we&#8217;d have to pay for the anesthesiologist and the surgery center so looks like I&#8217;ll live with it. You can&#8217;t really even see it and it doesn&#8217;t bother me that much so as long as it&#8217;s nothing that&#8217;ll hurt me, no big. Good though that I had it checked out.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s 5:43 and everyone is still sleeping. Mojo had breakfast and is now taking his morning siesta as well. I need to be in Eagle by 8:30 so Lori will have to drop the boys this morning. That&#8217;s about it, have a great day and welcome to September, stay safe and God Bless.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hard to believe it&#8217;s September 1st. 2\/3rd&#8217;s of the year is behind us with only 4 months or about 120 days to go until 2017.
