October 24, 2016 Monday

9:00AM Sassy
Good morning!  How goes?

9:06AM Phil
Good, just ordered my sprinkler system.  I have been fighting with hoses all year to keep the grass and flowers watered and gave in. Everyone here has gorgeous lush green lawns, no weeds and it’s hard to get there without a system. Saturday I’ll be able to hear my little heads pop up and start watering

9:06AM Sassy
Oooh!
We have those here.

9:09AM Phil
Gotta get them in fall, price goes way up in spring

9:14AM Sassy
Excellent thinking

You working at home?

Indeed!

Hey I think I finally recovered from my trip
I have been very tired and lots going on at work.
How have you been?
Sassy
Great!  I had an adventure to RI today
German lunch in Bristol, beach in Little Compton, had a divine dinner on the bay in Tiverton. 
Randy
Oh sounds tremendous.  
I had a burger for dinner.
Sassy
Yum
Randy
Spent most of the weekend sleeping
Sassy
Good! 
Randy
Almost feel normal again
Sassy
Hooray! 
Randy
Yeah work has gone crazy though
Sassy
OH? 
Randy
Yeah you know how people are. 
Love to power grab
Sassy
Ewww
Randy
Exactly
Sassy
Can you escape?  
Or grab something yourself? 
Randy
No I am in charge in a way.  
I am looking for a new gig… way too strange of a place
Sassy
Hard to tell when you interviewed there? 
Randy
I am looking at startups where there is a very small group
That way there is less politics
Sassy
Have a little beach moment

Busy. Took snacks to a project work day yesterday, then went to a surprise birthday party
Randy
Sounds fun
Sassy
It had its moments
Randy
I mowed the lawn and worked around outside… I
 would argue a bit less fun
Sassy
Maybe so… 
but productive!  
Randy
Yes true… not so fun
Sassy
Get close to me… I will help you have some fun! 
Randy
I like your thinking
Sassy
Depends on what you think is fun, I suppose 
Randy
Many things are fun.
Sorry I guess I’m still tired
Sassy
No worries… good to hear from you no matter how you’re doing. 
Get some more sleep? 
I’m headed that way 
Randy
Yea I’m off to bed myself.  
Sorry  
I’m not much fun tonight …still tired

Take care of yourself.

Wondering about Brett

Hiya Brett, 
Hope your had a great Sunday!  I was thinking of you, wondering if you got to relax.  
Hubby and I escaped to RI today!  I had a delightful German lunch in Bristol, then we went to the beach!  It was so peaceful.  The sky was so clear, I swear we could see Martha’s Vineyard on the horizon.  We stopped at some farms… the colors of the pumpkins and veggies and apples made for beautiful photos.  Then it was off to dinner at The Boat House – a spectacular baked stuffed lobster.  Yum.  It was glorious to get out and about.  
Are you gearing up for Halloween?  You seemed so excited about it this time last year. 
Take care!  Have a great week!  Hugs with groping!  
-S
