The Fall Has Finally Arrived

Unfortunately in Miami Beach, it is still hot, hot, hot.  But the kids are back in school and Labor Day has come and gone, so it feels like we are in the home stretch of 2009.  Believe it or not, I took an online Defensive Driving course to lower my insurance rate, and I can’t believe how much I didn’t know.  I suggest it to everyone who thinks they have the answers to what correct driving is.  I went from 53% on my pre-test to a passing score on my post test after study.  Amazing!

Spent the weekend catching up on good movies that are finally out there and enjoyed each of them immensely.  I must confess that I don’t go to sad, horror, drama or those kinds of movies.  There’s enough of that in my life.  When I go, I want to laugh and be entertained.  I also had my first bag of popcorn in a long time, and really enjoyed that.

Am nursing a bad knee, and the oncologist wonders if it’s from the medication I am still on for my breast cancer.  I don’t think so, but I continue my workouts (yes they are strenuous), and we are going to try an experiment once this cycle of pills are done to see if there is a connection with the arthritis I am beginning to feel and the medication.

Anyway, I still get a kick out of my pets.  When I walk through the door, they begin to play and play and carry on for a good hour.  They are so much company, I can’t imagine anyone being without them.  I know they are a big responsibility, but they’re worth it.
