Monday Musings - Labor Day Version

 Happy Labor Day. I ran late on doing this post because I've been doing the opposite of labor. I've been lazy. Well, my version of lazy - still cleaned house, still mowed the back lawn while Ray did the front, still did laundry, still...you get the drift. But I did not go to work today.

 Sunday night holiday night is the best. No alarm set. No planning ahead. Staying up a tad to watch our Dallas Stars hockey team win its first game in the Western Conference final. Also been watching U.S. Open tennis - that's been very interesting this year. Lots of new names - young up and comers with a chance to win. 

My other accomplishment this weekend is learning to use my new Water Pik without spraying down myself and the whole bathroom. It's been humorous. 

Set the stage: I am left-handed but I always brush my teeth right-handed due to my mother, and how she taught me. Now put a motorized thing squirting water into my right hand. Controlling the switch has been tricky for me. And it jets out surprisingly hard - I guess that's the point to rid the teeth of gunk. 

Anyway - I've got it figured out and I have to laugh. I look like I'm five years old - I hold the Pik with both hands and control it that way. Goofy as hell, but I don't have to wear a bathing suit to use it. 

Hope everyone is staying well, safe, and wearing that mask as needed. Or if you see me with a Water Pik in my hand, lower that face shield!

Let's zoom into autumn.
