Doesn’t take long to get a number of days under your heels once summer kicks off. With the new puppy, life has gotten a bit hectic as of late. Getting skunked the other day added a level of panic I could have done without, but in relation to other people’s problems we are doing just fine. More of an inconvenience than anything else. I do have to take him to the vet tomorrow so I’m sure that will lighten my wallet a fair bit. I’m sure they’ll find something he needs, or “should” have beyond flea and tick meds, and a course of heart worm pills. Just you watch.
I think today is Thursday, if I’m not mistaken. Dog wanted out for a pee before six this morning, and it was positively cool outdoors. A sweater was required and everything. Funny as it was in the mid thirties not 12 hours ago when I cut the lawn – again. Having nearly 5 inches of rain in July has kept the grass green, and growing like mad. Usually by July 1st it’s this beige, tan, yellow crispy wispy tangle of crunchy stuff. Not so much these last two years anyway. Doing wonders for the grape vine though, I will say that much. Raspberries seem to like the humidity and rain a whole lot too. Maybe not if it continues, but they’ve soaked in a lot of rain, and hot sun for full effect.
Looking towards going to see Deadpool 3 with my wife at some point in the near future. I hope it is a fun time, and not just cameos and inside jokes. I do need dome kind of a story/plot to keep things moving along. I haven’t been to the movies in quite some time. Was going to take the kids to Inside Out 2, and Kung Fu Panda 4, and something else, but it never panned out. Plus my seven year old still won’t sit for 90-120 minutes to watch something new. So to pay nearly $100.00 for movie tickets and snacks for the four of us seems unreasonable. Not if the youngest will ask to leave 30 minutes in. Fun, fun, fun.
I think there should be a new Alien movie out sometime soon aswell. I have purposefully not followed the production, and trailers so that I can enjoy it as fresh as possible. Usually I follow along too closely, and hear all the inside hot gos, and then have no surprises left to experience. Trying to move away from that sort of thing. I’m also less, and less inclined to follow the Marvel cinematic output machine, in favour of just watching the few I really want to see. I think I have five or six tv series I have yet to look at, and atleast 3 Marvel tent pole movies I have not watched. And weirdly enough, no fomo. Growing up I guess.
I recently ordered a book called “The left hand of darkness” by an author that recently died. Supposed to be her best work, or one of anyway. Looking forward to it. Still dragging my feet on finishing the Don Winslow book. Waiting on another book to come in August or September.
