There are some places that just feel "right" where you are totally relaxed and your mind can free flow. Used to be a hill where we hunted that I could sit for hours like that.

Good late evening, have not posted much in awhile... got overwhelmed at work in the Spring, should have when on stress leave but did not, stress built up, eating habits turned bad, blood sugar levels up, weight up :( .... overall not been a great 2018. After 16 years of teaching at the same school, I took a transfer for September, to relieve some stress and give me a new start. Been taking it easy this summer, been too hot to get a lot of the stuff I wanted to done. Been battling raccoons all summer, I "relocated" 7 so far. I really should downsize my flock but cannot decide what breeds to get rid of.

Heading to London area this weekend with my daughters to visit family and do some fishing.

Hope everyone has a great weekend.

Why am I not authorized to see the September photo contest entries? Prejudice I expect, I may report this to the human writes commissioner.

I suggest you pick the ring tail breed with the masks if you want to downsize. (And, just wondering, why would anyone have a flock of raccoons anyway? But to each there own.)

But seriously, good to see you back on the forum, @JimW . It's a shame that 2018 hasn't been great for you, but good that you made the choice to transfer and make a clean break and a new start. Change is as good as a rest, they say. :-)
