These cold damp rainy days are really starting to wear on me right about now. The forecast shows another five or six days of overcast skies and rain. Gah! That one weird week was such a tease. Would have been better to just add a degree or two of heat for every other day in the month, than to have that one spontaneous summer like stretch. I get that the grass, and trees, and the water table etc need the recharge because before you know it the rains will stop and we’ll be in drought conditions. But – sweet cheese, I’m getting sick of the cold.
Also, can you believe it’s gonna be May! In just a few more days. The speed at which this year is moving along feels kind of alarming. No more months of click, click, clicking up the coaster, we’re up & over the precipice whizzing through the year at break neck speeds. That – or I’m just getting older and time has started to move at a greater pace because I have been so busy this year all ready. So far I’ve had no 9-11 week breaks with no work. It’s pretty incredible. I have been steady going since January 2nd of 2023. Pretty much unheard of since I started my business in 2006. Peaks and rush periods – well yeah! Duh!, but nothing like this constant stream. Truly is wild. Glad for it too. Like my old InDesign instructor used to say, “The reward for good work, is more work!” A truth more certain has never been uttered in my presence. I took that statement to heart, let me tell you.
One positive about all this rain is that the fertilizer I put on the front lawn yesterday afternoon should soak in. Birds were trying to eat it, but I can’t imagine that’s good for their insides, like, at all. The bag has a poison control number on it. So we tried to shue the birds away. Will I have more lawn than weeds this year? No idea! But I’ve made the slightest of efforts this time around. Bathe me with your admiration! Bask in the glow of my minor glory! The most modest of attempts! I’ll take a cookie & the medal please.
Lots of kids laundry to sort and put away today. Perhaps some loud music will ease my troubled mind. Hey get rythm! When you get the blues, come on get rythm…
