Hot and Newsless
Yes, it's summer in Chico. Yes, it's hot. I am trying to keep motivated to work on some project or other but I will talk about that on my Crafty Rantings blog.
It was at least 85 this morning at 8:30am. I really dislike this. I have the sprinklers going out front and out back which means that until somewhere around 2pm I will be done. Inbetween I will be moving sprinklers and trying to do chores inside. I am finding I hate doing much of anything in this heat. I did the laundry yesterday so today I will put the last of it away. I need to cook up the boneless pork chops in the fridge and eat those today. I will dust. I thought about changing the sheets and doing those but too much movement in this heat is bad.
I believe that if I concentrate, today I can finish two projects. More on Crafty Rantings about that.
So really, unless I talk about the crafty stuff, I really am newsless. Nothing happens. I live a relatively boring life. Tuesday night I watch the movies I get from Netflix. Friday afternoon I do the same thing. Sometimes Saturday afternoon depending on if the mailman and I are speaking and delivery is on a "normal" schedule. Saturday night I have dinner with David and dad. Sunday I try to do very little except knitting or crochet and water the lawn most of the day. Oh yeah, I water the lawn a lot on Tuesday, too. I am going to go back to trying to do some of it during the morning before work. I am desperately in need of going somewhere different and doing something else. But that requires money and ambition and right now, both are in short supply. I spent about $200 yesterday on medication, gas and food. And I still didn't get everything.
I had the chance to talk to Ally a couple of times this week while she was visiting mom. I miss all of them very much. I talk to mom just about every day but Ally's so busy that phone calls don't happen too much. And I hate leaving voicemail because I don't want her (or anyone else I call!) to feel guilty like they *have* to call me. I admit that I can't wait for October for a chance to see mom and den and even little Andrew. I would love to see Ally and Matt well before then but her life is hectic so I probably will have to wait until December so I can see Matt when he's 2. I'm afraid I'll be lucky to see them once a year. So much for living in the same state.
I need to post to my crafty blog so I'm off to do that. And then move the sprinklers around, have another cup of coffee and then it'll be dusting time.
I've had a lot of excitement in my life in the past. This "boring" life now isn't so bad. Of the two I prefer this. Well except that occasionally a little companionship would be nice. Maybe it's time to hit a movie with Amy. Dinner with Jo. Lunch with Ronda. Boring is fine but not all the time. :)
