Hi everybody, it is lovely to be here.

It is a gorgeous day today, this early September day,

and it's Labor Day weekend and I hope you're going to have a

wonderful weekend by the time you hear this you'll be well into your weekend.

I am doing well my mother has left and I am glad it is nice to be alone again frankly

I commend people who take care of others in general just because it's a lot of work just looking out for someone else's well-being and

she's great she's good she's going to be staying in New Jersey we're going to be

moving her into her partner's house and I'll be going back to New Jersey to help her

with that but that said it was going back to New Jersey to help her with that.

But that said, it was really nice to be able to get some work done.

I didn't get work done for two weeks, which is really hard for me,

and I full on just was dedicated to taking care of my mom and spending time with her so we did that and

it was great and now it's great to be back to work. I definitely have been having hand

pain and I am starting to use more voice recognition apps and it's definitely helping

so most of this podcast was actually written verbally just ironic since I was writing it for an oral medium.

So I have been really excited to get this episode to you.

Just a couple more announcements.
