We just had the Commonwealth Games here in Melbourne. On Friday, I went to watch the EAD (elite Athletes with a Disability) weightlifting competition.

I am truly humbled. These men are inspiring.

Zoey starts swimming next weekend so I figured I go to public swimming today to let her try out the pool. She gave me a big lip a couple times LOL, but didn't cry!! I'm sooo proud.

I heard today that my eldest grandaughter is going to be working in Spain for the rest of the year. Whooee! Ok, so she has to work, but there will also be lots of sea, sand and fun, of that I am sure.

And
I'm getting a new camera!

My boss' wife is to be induced tomorrow. She isn't due until the 21st (I think?) but since they have had troubles in the past delivering a girl - they want to induce her while the baby is 100% healthy.

I'm sending in an application for another animal hospital tomorrow.

I really should be sleeping right now.

Today I exploded a rock while mowing the lawn.

It was about half the size of a football, just an ordinary grey chunk of New England rock. We had weeks, literally, of rain, and then the last two days were hot and sunny. This all somehow combined so that, when I knicked it with the mower, it shattered. It was about a foot away from Paul's car at the time, and yet not a single piece hit the car windows or the car itself, less than ten feet from the house and the side-by-side kitchen windows and none hit the windows, and the one that went furthest was traveling hard enough to punch a hole in the vinyl siding of the house, and was sharp enough to slice off a syringa twig with flowers, but missed the window behind which Paul's computer sits by a foot. There was nothing left of the rock in the spot it had sat for years, though some pieces were on the grass a few inches away. The edges of the pieces are sharp and flat, and the insides look rusty, so probably iron in the rock.
