We received official word of our layoffs from work, today. I was fine with that news, since we had been expecting it. But, I started to be sad when I went in the bathroom after the meeting & remembered how I used to pump milk for the babies in this bathroom, after I'd gone back to work. So much of my life for the past 20 years has gone on in this building.

Double-header today, to make up for a game that got rained out last week. It was a cold, cold, cold day out there at the softball field. They mostly played Annie out in the field, but she did catch for a couple of innings, too.

I wanted to watch the debates tonight, but was offered an extra cleaning job. Luckily, they had a TV right there in their break room.

At the Kane County Courthouse today, watching the latest proceedings in Molly's case. I wasn't expecting it, but was physically & emotionally exhausted by the end of it all.

Tried out a new ice cream shop downtown, today. And, took some pictures with 'Happy Jack' to try to win a contest on Goebbert's Pumpkin Farm Facebook page.

They only ask me to clean the 'lockup' at the Police station every few weeks (it's usually done by the weekend guy). They had me sweep & mop in there, today & I snuck this photo.

Eric and I went to a concert at this new music venue in Chicago tonight.

Marla September 21, 2012

This song was playing on one radio station when I got out of the car and on another when I got back in the car.

Oh, Happy Day!! I always have some books in my mending pile at school but, I got caught up on repairing them today.

Look how much "stuff" we sold. Clean up went really fast...we were home about an hour after the sale ended. And, boy was I tired...I NEVER go to bed this early.
