Month in Review – August 2022

Aug 31, 2022 | Rita

August 2022 Month in Review

August is over and September is finally here. I love September because it usually means that fall is coming soon. Fall is one of my favorite times of the year. The weather is cool enough for sweaters but not overly cold. Short sleeves can still be worn without you looking crazy. It is also when all the pumpkin spice stuff makes it way to the stores.

Don’t get me wrong, summer is great but I am more than over the heat. It got super hot super early this year and feels like summer has been going on for six months here in the south. I am just ready for the day to be down to the sixties and a little more comfortable.

Getting Older

August 2022 Birthday Cake

Yesterday was my birthday and I have to tell you this year it was a bit bittersweet. Normally, I don’t care about getting older. It happens and I don’t feel like I am 46 most of the time. Although this year I felt old. It was a good day though. I spent it with Ma and my uncle not doing much of anything. That evening I had a nice outdoor dinner and celebration with some friends. It was all rather lowkey and made it so much more enjoyable.

Shows & Activities

Honestly, this month I re-watched some Vera. I haven’t seen anything that I wanted to watch so I watched an old favorite. Any suggestions for new shows that are streaming? I did try to watch The Handmaid’s Tale but I couldn’t get into it.

3 Favorite Blog Posts From the Month

Fuzzy Slippers
How to Give Your Baby a Proper Massage and All the Benefits You'll See
The Joy of Handwritten Thank You Notes
  1. I got some new fuzzy slippers this month that I just had to tell you al about. They are so awesome let me tell you.
  2. Learning to give your baby a proper massage can make such a difference for them. They become more relaxed and enjoy their days so much more. Not to mention it can help when they get cranky.
  3. Writing handwritten notes can bring not only the receiver joy but you as well. It is a thing of the past that should be a part of your everyday life.

    This month was pretty uneventful. Lots of appointments and no time to play. Hoping that September is more fun.

    August was kind of a bad month as my AC decided it was working to hard and went on strike, don’t have the money to appease yet either! Lots of appointments but nothing really momentous going on!

    Have a wonderful September!

    Mostly a boring month. I did have a nice birthday dinner with friends and got to be a teacher’s assistant for an Air Plant class at the botanical gardens. Usual swimming 2 to 3 times a week with friends.
    I have not had any problems with Rafflecopter.
    Thanks for the contest.

    Not a lot happened in August for me. I’ve been redecorating my screened-in porch, so that I can enjoy it when the weather gets cooler. I’ve also been learning about astronomy and how to use a telescope that was gifted to me years ago. It’s really fun!

    My month in review was a lot of appointments, some birthdays and doing work in the yard and around the house.

    I spent 10 days in Melbourne, Australia with my sister and did everything from patting a Koala to having a snake draped around my neck. It was an amazing holiday.

    We celebrated our daughter’s birthday this month. It’s hard to believe she’s a teenager now.

    August wasn’t great. We lost one of our dogs to heart failure. I think that made it reasonably hard to enjoy things, but hopefully this fall out will get a little better.

    It’s going to be a big month with school starting. Last month was really rough, but I am determined to make up all my outstanding projects!

    August was mostly uneventful which is how I like it. This month, however we are already dealing with an ailing a/c unit which was just installed a few years ago. Life, ugh

    It was filled with highs (camping trips, patio visits, etc) and lows (a tumultuous relationship that has me on edge)

    My month was spent training my new puppy and going for boat rides with my family.

    I wish I knew how to change this from leaving a reply to the above post to entering a comment but I don’t.
    During august my Mama got covd from my grandson. She immediately went to the dr and he prescribed the medication for covd. She was sick but thankfully has fully recovered. I was sick shortly after her but mine was just fever. We are hoping to see a well September and cooler temperatures.

    My month was busy. It just went by so fast. I wish I could slow it down.
    Should have been celebrating my granddaughter’s 9th birthday, but she had to cancel 3 times.
    And my daughter’s whole family got Covid.
    Now they’re clear, so we’ll try to do a party for her.

    Belated 46th birthday! I’m 46 too…47 in December! Those sparkly heels caught my eye, I need them in my life lol! I’ve had quite an interesting month. My mother in law passed away so we were in the UK for the funeral, and then my brother came to stay for a few weeks so it’s been quite hectic!
    Best wishes,
