Summer
I know it’s summer because it hit the 90s for the first time this year yesterday. I had to turn my air conditioner on so that I could sleep. And it was still pretty hot. It happens every year but it feels a little early for 90 degrees. But you know, climate change.
We are once again in a horrible draught in California and these warm days don’t do anything to help that. And everyone’s on high alert for fire, just like we are every summer, but again it feels earlier than usual. The geniuses setting fireworks off late last night clearly don’t care about the possibility of starting a fire. Or keeping people up. And sense when did we have fireworks for Memorial Day?
It was nice having the extra day off work yesterday but I already feel behind. Days off are nice but they typically mean that the other days will be longer and packed with meetings. Based on my quick glance at my schedule that’s exactly what I’m looking at for the week.
I often go to a movie on Memorial Day but that tradition may have faded forever after AMC Theatres announcements that it’s not going to require vaccinated people to wear masks. But they’re not actually going to check to see if people are vaccinated, mind you. So you could waltz in without a mask and without a vaccination and just lie. Yeah. That seems fun. I’ll be staying home for movies now, which isn’t as fun but it’s definitely cheaper. And cleaner. And free from the germs of others. Disappointing. Maybe one of the other chains will be smarter about it. Still, I’m not sure I’m going to get involved. Time will tell.
Instead of going to the movies over the weekend I started watching Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. which is now on Netflix. There are seven seasons and I honestly have no idea why I didn’t watch this show when it was on TV. I absolutely love it! I honestly can’t wait to watch more tonight.
I was also semi-productive with home stuff this weekend. I got some new things for my kitchen and cleaned out my pantry. I think it looks pretty good. Now if I only had somewhere to recycle these ginormous boxes… I also got some other shopping done, finished one book, and read a few chapters of another. I also got my car throughly washed, inside and out, for the first time in well over a year. It’s brand new again. So shiny. All in all a pretty good weekend.
I hope you enjoyed your weekend - and the extra day off if you got it. We’ve got another month until the next holiday so that’s something to look forward to.
Enjoy your Tuesday and Happy June!
Happy first day of June!
