Well, summer is almost over and I haven't accomplished much that I really wanted to! I did get someone to paint my mother's house - but in the process found many things that need to be fixed - rotting window frames, holes in door framing and a rotting roof - UGH!  Now I'm in conversation with a contractor to deal with that list and then the painter will be back to finish afterwards. We also have a plumber coming out to replace her corroded (read that as can't replace the faucet handles!) outdoor faucets and at least one bathroom faucet (and hopefully the insides of a toilet tank that I'm getting tired of dealing with).

I took three Grad. credits to renew my teaching license - including the blogging course that got me started here, and found out that I could apply for a four-year resident educator license WITHOUT taking any credits - go figure! I was waiting for all my credits to make it to transcripts to renew my license, but snet it in as soon as I found out about the other license.  I sent my application the beginning of July, they cashed my check shortly afterwards and when I checked online at ODE - they said it could take 6-8 weeks to process, and up to 2 more to receive through the mail. Fortunately, it only took them about 5 weeks to process and about 2 days to get it in the mail, so I am back on the list as a sub.

On a positive note, my hubby only has 12 more days of work before he officially retires from the City of Akron. Not sure what he is going to do after that - he's looking for another job. He decided it was time to get out of public employment in Ohio before the governor reinstates all the pieces to SB 5.
