- Kind of hard to believe it’s already Friday again, to be honest. I guess the four day weekend, leading to the four day work week, distorted my perception of time. We’re headed to the beach Saturday but have no plans Sunday. Hoping to get some stuff done around the house and yard though.
- My office is literally vibrating because there’s construction on the floor above and they’re drilling. It’s super annoying because it’s also not consistent so bangs and stuff come out of nowhere, scaring the crap out of everyone. It’s not really a very good workplace right now but also, there’s no work I must complete so I guess it doesn’t much matter.
- I had written all 5 bullets and then WordPress decided to do this horrible thing and restore the old version instead. Sigh. Is that how today is going to be? The last two evenings have been really nice so I had some hope that we could continue the trend!
- I’m not trying to be superstitious; that’s silly. I guess it’s just because today feels off, for some reason. Maybe because I woke up all confused, not sure what day it was. Maybe my coffee hasn’t kicked in. Maybe because even though we had a four day weekend and now we are into summer, it still doesn’t quite feel like it is. I guess we have let the kids stay up a bit longer and they play outside more; these things always indicate summer to me. In fact, yesterday, we were waiting for Ash to get back with the pizza and Isaac went out on his scooter. It started raining and he just kept scooting and I just let him because, why not?
- I’m heading out at 11:30 and it can’t seem to get here fast enough. i.e. this is the longest morning in the history of Friday mornings. Maybe I’m just thinking too far ahead: lunch with husband and oldest, getting stuff done to get ready for the beach, and just the relaxed summer feeling I have now invoked. I keep thinking about this one day last May when I was in a horrible funk about jobs and money and one night, I took my younger two to a playground and while they hung around, I just sat and watched as the sky turned all its marvelous sunsetty colors and I drank a beer and for once, I felt right.
It has started to feel like summer for me, i.e. I’m feeling a little lazy and carefree. Nothing wrong with letting kids scoot in the rain and/or drinking a beer and watching the sky. Happy weekend!
