Most evenings I think of a really funny title or topic to write about, and by the morning it’s completely erased from my memory. I think to myself, oh this is so good, I can’t possibly forget. Then I promptly forget after I fall asleep. What an idiot!
So you’re stuck with whatever else pops into my head the day of. It’s not to say I won’t spontaneously remember at some point in the day, of course I do. But it becomes a matter of whether I now feel it worth to write down after already having posted something else. You can see the bind that puts me in. My hands are tied, really. It’s company policy, nothing I can do. (No, on all three counts, but still. I don’t wanna!)
Took the kids for a late evening swim, which continues to get a little earlier than the day before. I can’t believe we are only a week away from August. Where does the time go? Well, besides sleeping, working & the family that’s all the time we had today kids. Come back next time, remember to hold on to your ticket stubs and receipts and we can validate your parking for you.
Lazy Sunday today. And I’m feeling the delayed onset of muscle soreness (doms) from a couple big work outs, and weeding the pumpking patch in the intense heat. My calves and hamstrings are singing today, believe you me. The thing is squatting in the sun to pull weeds leaves me more sore than lifting the weights I have at home. I’d like to go buy a few more heavier dumbbells, but they’re not cheap. Even at Walmart, that shit’s expensive. I guess it’s more of an investment in myself/health, but $100 or so per dumbbell is a bit rich for my blood. At least until those invoices start creeping in with cheques attached. But to be honest, I’m more interested in buying hardwood in September than I am buying free weights.
The furniture building bug is still with me. I’d like to build a quality bookshelf/cabinet for my office, so I can display some items I’ve had in storage for about a decade or more. Free up some closet space at the same time. I want to make a slab coffee table too, but my attentions and needs have shifted a bit recently. Once the kids are a bit older a larger wall unit for storage will need to be built around the fireplace in the living room. Gotta get some quality hand made projects under my belt before I tackle something with that much exposure.
