I don’t know about you but this past week I had a massive case of heat rage. The heat and humidity together turned me. It curdled my soul and I spent more time worrying about my braincells and if the drip coming from my ears was sweat or if the wax was just melting and leaking out. It wasn’t my greatest week, thats for damn sure.
Besides being a miserable excuse of a human half of the time this week, the other half I was trying my hardest to be productive and not a complete lazy and cranky bitch. So I did stuff. I loaded a kiln and talked clay for the first time in months which was good for my studio space and good for my mind. The mr and I had dinner at moms again. I picked up farm share and then picked flowers. I ran a lot and biked a lot but early early in the mornings. Then I made THREE birthday cakes (one was an ice cream cake…that was a fucker in the heat) and helped decorate for the surprise birthday party for the 3 nieces. Their birthdays are pretty much all the same day (Laura is the 21, Emma the 22, and Kayla the 26) which is so smart cause then you only need to have one big party. Ha. . The party was great, the whole fam (and just the fam) hung out in the shade of the trees and tried not to melt. Good times as always.
And there were other things but my basic bitchiness clouded over it all. So yeah. I really fucking hate the heat.
Today the weather calls for thunderstorms and slightly cooler weather and I am ecstatic about it. So for the day ahead I am planning to do a few putzy house chores (I have a fair amount of laundry to do) and then it’s going to be me on the porch, with a book, and all the coffee. If the lightning is far off I might even talk a walk in the rain. I think it will be a good day.

-The mr and I are very lucky to have 2 porches, one in the back which is more a sun porch, and one out front. In the summer the sun porch gets way to freaking hot so we hang out on the front porch. I love it except those times when I don’t want to talk to anyone, usually in the morning while drinking my coffee and reading. IT’s nice to chat with people off the street but sometimes I just want to be left alone (ok, most of the time) THE PORCH PUZZLE
-I am sorry but I hate dollar stores. It makes me sad to see these places just thrown into small ruaul communuties all over the country. It might seem good, but they are not. No no, they are really not good. The True Cost of Dollar Stores.
