Things I Have Seen...

On my daily trips to the post office. 

These are not all today, but a compilation over the last several weeks. But...the city is an interesting place...

1. A very large man with a very long ponytail sitting on the curb talking to no one.

2. A guy on a bike with a crate full of wood. 

3. Two different cars, on two different days, going the wrong way in a one way. 

4. A woman screaming at someone in a car and screaming at the people working at the garage she was parked in front of. I couldn't understand a word she was saying, nor did I want to get any closer to find out. 

5. Someone throwing trash out of their window as a group of kids were walking the sidewalks picking up trash. Rude. 

6. A guy dancing in the street with no cares about traffic. 

7. The car at the stop sign absolutely covered in bird poop. Like covered except for where they washed (kind of) the windshield. So gross. 

8. A very large person on a tiny bicycle. 

There's so much more. Usually it's odd if I don't see something out of the ordinary on my trips. 

That is all. 

Behave. 

Weekend Wrap Up

I'm not sure why this day has gone so fast! Well, I do know. Because it's Sunday. 

Slept in a little this morning. We even went to bed early, too. Clearly I needed the extra rest. 

Did some Jeep work, played with my plants, laundry, made an awesome lasagna for dinner, and wrote. I got quite a few words today, which felt good.

This week should be calmer? We'll see. 

That's all I have. 

Behave!  

Missed Feel Good Friday...

Eh! You didn't miss much! 

Pretty much the usual stuff. 

We had a team building event at work on Wednesday. Mini golf. It was a lot of fun and That Man ended up winning the grand prize. It was a nice break from our desks.

Then we found the part we need for my Jeep. Well, it was a second attempt. The first try ended when the guy sold it. Which is fine. He said no holds and we didn't ask. We just said if he still had it on Friday, we'd come for it. After that we found another one about and hour and a half away, so we went and got it on Friday. The guy was super nice and he has a set of tires and rims that we're interested in. So cool stuff there. That part is the key to finishing.  

I've gotten a decent amount of writing done this week. I think the story is going pretty good, though I had to take some time and do some brainstorming because I felt like I was "blah blah blah-ing". (and I was). So now I have a little more direction. 

Our tomato netting seems to be working to keep the squirrels and blue jays off the little tomatoes. We have several on now, and they're looking good. Same with the peppers. 

So anyway... that's it from me. 

Behave! 

Mid-Week Mayhem

It's Wednesday. Right? 

I have had my days mixed up all week. Yesterday, I thought it was Thursday. It was a total bummer to be told it was only Tuesday. 

I haven't gotten a lick of writing done this week but hopefully that will change tonight. I typically take Monday evening off since my brain always feels broken. 

Last night I went to dinner with a friend, which was a lot of fun and much needed. Our waiter was hysterical, the food was good, as well as the conversation. 

This morning I somehow dropped both of our smoothies in the parking lot. I had strawberry smoothie everywhere--my arms, legs, shoes, shirt. It was a mess. And now we have no breakfast. 

The day can only go up, right? 

I can't believe we only have one more week of July left! 

That's all I have at the moment. 

Behave! 

Weekend Wrap Up

This is the part of Sunday I dislike the most. The day is winding down and now I start mentally preparing myself for the day job. Oy. And don't get me wrong, I do enjoy my day job. But I'd much rather not have to do it at all. 

That rude smoke is finally almost gone. Man, that was rough. I can only imagine how bad it was for folks with breathing issues. The rain and storms were awesome! We enjoyed a forced day off after getting the shopping and laundry done. It was nice to relax and not think about what we "should" be doing. 

Today, however, I wrecked myself pulling weeds around where our old tree was. There was a lot since I'd neglected it all season. I trimmed the volunteer tree that was overtaking the patio and reconfigured some of my solar lights. I'm really pleased with the results. I am not pleased with how bad my back hurts though. But it's getting better. A shower, pain relief, and my massage chair have helped. That Man wrecked himself working on the Jeep and the lawn mower (which is now broken. Joy.)

I also wrote and figured out some stuff story-wise. That also feels amazing. I've spent the afternoon with my butt in the chair and my computer open. 

Now I'm ready to chill for a little bit before dragging my sore butt to bed. 

That is all. 

Behave! 

Freaky Friday?

What a freaking weird week! 

I don't even know if I have any feel good beyond the normal...

But here's the list of weird...

1. The heat. Come on, man! 

2. The wildfire smoke. Holy crap is that eerie! And gross. And smelly. 

3. The parasitic diarrhea. What the hell is that about? 

4. I saw a guy carrying a fridge on his back by the post office. He was just walking down the sidewalk. 

5. I also saw an old guy taking his pants off on my way back from the post office. I didn't look. 

6. The go-cart that pulled out in front of me and almost got run over by a bus on my way to the post office. 

7. Also on my way to the post office...a guy dressed head-to-toe in a white, furry jumpsuit. Okay, it's not as hot today, but??

8. The desolate wasteland that was the office on Friday. There were only four people in the whole building after a certain time (and I was one of them). It was creepy and weird. 

I can't think of any more weird at the moment. 

Bring on the weekend! 

Behave! 

Weekend Wrap Up and All of That...

We had a weekend, right? 

I kinda don't feel like we did. Yeah, we got the housework, shopping, meal prep done and I kind of slept in one day. But it went so fast! 

We did have a great time at a friend's pool party on Saturday. The pool was glorious and so was the conversation and shenanigans.

Other than that... meh. I don't know. 

I didn't get any writing time this weekend. Which sucks, but there's nothing I can do it about it. 

It's going to be hot again this week. Yeah, I know it's summer. Yeah, I know it's July. 

That's all I have. 

Behave!
