I’ve been taking inventory and trying to pick up the things that I need to get through. I’ve got the sunblock and a couple of out-of-town trips planned. I’ve got everything in order for rental cars. I still need to buy a new bathing suit, but I think that’s just about it, really.
I bought a water bottle the other day. I asked the store worker "where can I find water bottles?" His reply? "What do you mean by water bottles? I don’t think we have any."
"Um… you know, bottles that… hold water? Like for when you’re walking… outside… in a heat wave?"
Turned out they did, actually, have them. Quite a variety even, he just didn’t really understand what "water bottle" meant. I blame the heat. Even if it was air conditioned inside, his brain probably melted on his walk in from the parking lot. I like to give people the benefit of the doubt…
My weekends are just filling up like crazy. This makes me happy, but I’m going to have to make a point to schedule in some me-time. I think I have one free non-Spawn weekend left (not counting this upcoming one) until some time in August when we ship him off to spend a few weeks in Michigan with his grandparents. I can’t even begin to *think* about August at this point, since I have so much to get through before then. Also, that will mark the beginning of birthday month and I’m just not prepared for that yet.
The heat finally broke, and perfect timing, too. Trying to practice my guitar last night, it wouldn’t stay in tune because of the heat and humidity. Blah. I’ll be fine tonight, though. After last time, it HAS to get better.
Of course, summer isn’t even really officially here yet. Not for another 10 days, and I’ll be ringing in the summer with my mom’s annual blowout. Combination Summer Party, half-birthday for my niece and graduation party for my little brother. I am really looking forward to it, but with all the things I have to look forward to, I’m trying not to get overwhelmed.
