We are not getting to take a vacation this summer due to my mother's infirmity. I suggested that we might go to the beach for a few days, but my mother has a hard time getting around, requires constant care (she does stay by herself for two or three hours while my son and I go out, go to a movie, or similar), and doesn't wish to make the trip. Perhaps in time she will feel more up to it. My son is fairly indifferent, he has all of his games and videos to entertain himself during summer break from homeschool. It's too hot to get out anyway. Hope you stay well.

Hey katy! Good to hear from you again. Yes summer temps especially here in the South have been brutal and as a result so has my electric bill. I definitely am anticipating the cooler fall weather. It's nice that you have been getting out and about shopping with a scooter. My trips to Publix/pharmacies, visiting my family, going to Drs. appointments, scheduled car maintenance at Toyota or to Mass just about covers my "social" life. It's sufficient considering that during COVID lockdown none of that was even possible. I can get enjoyment out of simple pleasures. No summer vacation excursions but I am planning on a milestone birthday get away in September. Told my "kids" that I want them to take me out to the ballgame to celebrate it with them and my grandchildren. I've got mobility issues too due to several spinal disorders. My neurosurgeon is treating me with periodic cortisone epidural spinal injections that helps to keep walking relatively pain free. I need to use a cane for security but get me behind a grocery cart and watch out. As we age there will be health issues of some kind or other for everyone. The important part is to "just keep swimming" as Dory would say. I don't always comment on the CCS forum even though I do usually scan it for topics that might interest me. When you mentioned that you didn't have a Confirmation book but still have your Communion prayer book, I was going to respond that so do I! But I've got to watch my internet data usage so I don't go over my plans limits. The ongoing bickering about repetitive topics that won't get solved anyway isn't worth it to me to write a reply. I think that you had a similar response a while back when you said that you would just leave them to it. Ditto. I always enjoy your posts. Thanks for this pleasant inquiry as to how everyone is doing.

I think the best way for me to answer this is in German, where, in response to the question, "How are you", one can say, es geht, literally, 'it goes'.
I cannot state that everything is going well in my family due to difficulties with my younger brothers. I myself am still young but I cannot comprehend how in my own lifetime the great players of the world have let things get to where they have.
Generally I am fine. Things are as they usually are. I did not enjoy last year very much but this one has been a large improvement. The Lord at once leads us into the desert, where our own faith and will to carry on are the only things sustaining us. Then He gives us some consolation once more, that with greater maturity and faith we may enter into the desert again. Many of the Holy Fathers of the Church have said this is the cycle of life on Earth.
I just finished a rather intense and stressful 6 week half-trimester at university and have begun a 2 week break before the rest of the trimester resumes.
It is not summer in this part of the world. It is winter at the moment. I associate summer both with holidays and also with sleepless nights due to the temperature.

Hi Katy
Good to see a post from you. It's good to know that you're continuing to improve. You certainly seem to have kept your spirits up which is important.
Summer here in the UK hasn't been too good. The sun has been a little shy. The temperatures have been OK but there's too much cloud! It's also rained an awful lot. Fortunately, we live on the top of a hill so we don't flood but the people behind us nearly did around a month a go. The road was like a river and the area behind and below our house looked like a pond had suddenly appeared.
I can't say I'm looking forward to the end of summer. The end of summer means back to work for me. Plus I had my accident last winter thanks to ice so I'm apprehensive about this year's winter.
Owing to a range of factors we haven't been a way this summer. I'm surprised that I haven't missed getting away as much as I thought I would.
Hope things keep improving and hope you get your wish of a cooler autumn.
