grammarwomanIt has been so abominably hot for the past week (In the 90s! In September! This isn't freaking July!), that I feel like the current gorgeous temps are a personal apology to me. I just want to press pause on the weather and keep it this way for a month or two, with this clear blue sky and sharp shadows, and the faint mustiness of imminent autumn on the breeze. I'm working from home today, and I just indulged in a walk around the block. *BLISS*
We are slowly but surely making progress in home-wise matters. We got the patio paved, the dead limbs removed from the huge oak out front and the dying pine cut down, and a quote on replacing the fence in the backyard. Before that repair, though, I need to get some landscaping done to cut down the jungle that's grown all around the perimeter, and a truckload of dirt dumped and spread to even out the lawn. I would feel guiltier about not doing the easier parts myself, but these past few months have been VICIOUS when it comes to bugs chewing on me (I would love to go a week without being in some stage of itchy welt recovery), so fuck it, I'm throwing money at everything else, might as well keep on stimulating the local economy.
I made a vid for the Fall Equinox Exchange! This ridiculous hobby keeps eating my brain. I don't know if I'm going to actually sign up for Festivids or just churn out a bunch of treats; I keep waffling back and forth.
In other erratic subject changes...Why is it so much easier to give other people advice than fix your own life? Is it the Vulcan-like logic you can apply from a distance, or the fact that words are much easier to type than actions are to do? I've been reading a bunch about ADHD/executive function disorders vs. laziness; with it all racing around my head, I couldn't pick my actual motivations out of a lineup. UGH, brains! So apologies for continuing to spam you all with my weak sauce suggestions, while I avoid tackling my own damned issues.
