Rant #3,430: There's a Kind of Hush (All Over the World)

Let's get this out of the way first.

The unveiling ceremony for my mother's gravestone will be held Sunday, September 22.

We are just going to have a small gathering there, mainly family, and the ceremony will be a short one.

We aren't having anything afterwards, and I think that it will be a good, short and to-the-point end-point for my mom and her wonderful legacy on our family.

That was really the big news of the weekend, a fairly relaxing one before the work week starts up again today.

I watched a lot of baseball, watched a pay-per-view wrestling show with my son--it went on for six hours, and yes, I conked out with about 90 minutes left to go--and I had a few good nights' sleep.

Today, we get back to the week's business, including some medical stuff.

I am slated to take another blood test, and I hope all my levels are where they should be.

I have taken so many blood tests in my life that I almost feel like a pin cushion.

Couple that with the allergy shots that I received on Saturday, and the poking just continues unabated.

It is all for my continued good health, so I can't really argue with any of this.

My left leg is what it is, and my right leg still bothers me, but not as bad as it has been during the past couple of weeks or so.

I have a few more physical therapy appointments before I am done in October, and then it is up to me to continue my exercise regimen, so that my legs can be as strong as possible.

I have to say that I am doing pretty well, overall, as we move from summer to the fall.

I think my body likes the cooler temperatures, in particular in the evening.

I can't take the heat at all, and when it was in the 90s, I just wasn't sleeping very well.

Now, things are better in that regard.

And to round out this past weekend, I did some digitizing with my records, focusing on my Herman's Hermits collection.

I thought I digitized all of their singles over the years, but I recently found some holes in those digital files, so I started to fill in those gaps this weekend.

I am not done yet, so if I get some time, maybe I can finish it all up.

So the past weekend was pretty quiet, other than that unveiling announcement.

Kind of just the way I like it.

Now, the work week is in front of me ... and everything that goes with it--

Enough for me to be already looking forward to the next weekend.

It can't come too fast.
