I am super freaking cranky right now…the heat has finally ramped up and taken ahold of my brain. When it gets 90 and above I am not a good person.

Besides not being able to deal with the fucked ass backwardness of what the world is coming to, yeah, the week was alright . The mr and I went for a hike, I did a lot of gardening (sliced open my hand while doing it), had a boys day. We took them to the pool then played the best and least fair game of scrabble, and watched a show about imitation cakes while they ate all the ice cream. Good times.

Then there was more pot throwing and glazing, cat sitting, and overall life things. The weather was pretty great for most of the week but then yesterday it wasn’t and today is supposed to. be even worse so screw.

Sunday. Like I just said it it suppose to be stupid hot again so what the mr and I are planning on doing is heading to a river for a good while. He will fish, I will sit in a shallow spot and read. I have no other expectations because once I leave said river I will probably end up laying on the kitchen floor for the remainder of the day. I hate the heat!!

Can you believe that we are half way through the year already? It is giving me a little anxiety, like I am having a mid year crisis. All I can think of is like ‘what the hell did I do thins year?’ And I know I have done a lot but still, its that feeling of time gone by and things that I should of or wished I have done already. Oh well can’t do anything about it now. HA!

We had a pretty good and fun week. We did some stuff besides the stuff of life matinence. The mr and I took the kayaks out and paddled/blew around on a big pond for a afternoon. We went for a walk that turn into a 10 mile walk ( I got stung on the foot on that walk), I picked up like 8 ponds of greens from farm share (no joke) and now all I eat is lettuce, and we took the littles strawberry picking on the coldest summer day on record. At the farm in the play area the mr found the mini excavator in the sandbox and I think he had more fun playing with that then anything else we did this week.

Sunday. Today the mr and I are both doing work. He has a project that he needs to finish up and I have a shit ton of stuff to glaze before the markets. But it’s all good because we are going to take the first half of tomorrow off and go do something fun together. Plus we are gearing up for camping soon so once we start, its on. No more Sunday work!

I don’t know where you live but here in VT it looks like it is snowing out. The cotton wood fluff is heavy and is actually really lovely until you get a mouth full. But hey, what am I gonna do, keep my mouth shut? Yeah no, probably not.

The past week was not to shabby. I feel like I got a lot of stuff done even though I am still a hobbling around a bit cause my knee is still all sorts of fucked up. I am dealing with it enough and I figured if it is still screwy next week I might just call one of those doctors and go from there. Anyway…😬

Biggest highlight of the week was I picked up our first famr share of the summer! SOOOO many greens and I am soooo soooo happy about it. The weeks between the winter and summer shares are always the worst. I pretty much end up eating whatever veggies I can scrounge up in the freezer and supplementing with the most expensive, sub par produce from the grocery store. It’s not a good month food wise but the stuggle is over. Yay! And as for my garden at home, it is looking pretty stinking good if I do sat so myself. So far the new neighborhood woodchuck has not managed to sneak his fat ass though the fence so yeah, I am feeling hopeful.

And it was the last week of school for the littles! I had everyone come over for a pizza and ice cream sundae party to celebrate. Almost the whole fam came and did the usual running through my house (with shoes on like beasts), eating as much pizza as possible, rolling down hills at the park, and harassing the mr. about gerbil cages. The sundaes were made without incident and the adult people bitched and moaned about all of our aches and pains. Good stuff. Ha!

Sunday here and I am ready to go. The mr and I are busting out the kayaks for the first time this year! I am exited to get out on the quiet waters for a bit. And that is the plan for the day, well that and I am going to spend the rest of the day with an ice pack on my knee, a cup of hot coffee (then tea, then more coffee) and a book in my face. Kayaking and reading… should be good.

Is anyone else wondering how it is possible that it’s June already? I never see it coming… HA!

I had a week of a week. You know, like when you do things and then they are done and time moves forward. That makes sense right?

So yeah, was fine. I got a lot of stuff done, sold more pots,(that now need to be shipped…blah), played in the garden, walked through the woods and down by the lake, and enjoyed all the fine fine weather we have been having. It hasn't gotten unbearably hot yet so I am still a human!

One thing that has sucked all week is that my knee filled up with fluid which happens to me from time to time but usually gos away in a day or two. Well I guess because I am old now (or I haven’t really stayed off my feet and I still have been running) it hasn’t gone away and it is really fucking swollen and annoying. So I have been hobbling around and icing and heating the fucker as much as I can all week. It is still really swollen so maaaybe I might call a doctor if it doesn’t get better soon.

Sunday. Whoop whoop! The mr and I are heading out of town for a while, into the middle of nowhere to check out some land situations. I am very excited to finally get out of here, walk around some woods, and maybe fine that piece of something that we have been looking for. And for road coffee because well coffee in general. And maybe today will be the day my stupid knee will feel better too! Is that hoping for to much?

It’s like basically officially summer which means I am basically officially a crank ass. There has already been a few to many too hot days but I am trying to stay positive and think of all the good stuff that Sumer brings. But also I am preparing for the worst. I really should just take to the woods from the month hs of June-September. I would be best for us all. Ha!

The week has been decent In terms of my little life, but basically just shit once again in terms of the world. I can’t even with it all and I am just sad about it. I don’t know, you know. It just sucks and I’ll leave it at that for now.

Again our week was nothing out of the normal, pretty much the same old shenanigans. The mr and I went to a river, he fished, I read. I spent a lot of time doing clay stuff (getting ready for another market) and disovered a few fucked up pieces of mine that someone loaded into the kiln wrong. That was some shit. I spent a good amount of time in the garden, went to the grocery store and bought all of the vegetables (farm share starts in 2 weeks. I am staving), and went for a bike ride in which I got caught in a rain storm. I actually quiet enjoyed that.

We also had the littles over. I made them food, we played, we made summer plans. (They just want to spend the summer at the pool…blah.) And that is about it. Oh I fucked my knee up. How I am unsure but I think it might have to do with all the hard running I have been doing lately. I probably need new sneakers again. No, I DO need new sneakers….😬

Sunday. This morning I am going to hang with an old friend for a bit then tje mr and I have some apartment doings this that need attending to. After that, not sure. I am itching to get out of town but I don’t want to drive anywhere just for a little while cause gas and all. Plus it is basically June which means camping soon so I can wait but I can’t freaking wait!!
