I am hot and it is only the middle of May. I shouldn’t be this freakin hot. I hope this weather is not a preview of things to come this summer cause if it is then I am in trouble. And probably anyone that comes near me.
The week. It was meh, whatever. I feel like I am falling behind on everything in life so I have been little cranky and annoyed. I can blame some of it on the sudden summer weather but also I think I always feel this way around this time of year. June is a super busy month for us (apartment turn overs and the such) so getting as much shit done now helps the transitions go smoothly and we can never get enough done fast enough. This year nit exception, more so it has been kind of rough start already. The mr smashed out the back windshield of his truck with a 2x4 basically right after he blew out one of his tires. He also had stupid work stuff happen and so he has been stressed and a crank ass all week too. Oh and I got stung on my ass by a yellow jacket because why not?
It wasn't all a wash though. The littles and Barb came over for food and park play. I worked on pots (in my cool basement) and picked up my last winter farm share of the year. (3-4 weeks until summer share starts and I am already rationing out what I have left which is basically beets and onions.) And I went for a small bike ride, worked in the garden some, picked some lilacs. Little good things you know.
It’s Sunday and today the mr and I have plans for a good hike. The temperature should not be stupid and it might even rain so it will be great. And I need it. I need to get out of town (although not to far… gas is DUMB expensive) and hide away in the newly greened up trees. I might hate the heat but I am loving the colors and smell of fresh life. And with what ever time I have left this afternoon I am going to spend it in the garden. I already have a few of the beds planted and am ready to just stick everything in the ground. My tomato plants have been living outside for the past week and are thriving so if they are good, well it is time.
