What's that bright yellow thing in the sky? Sun, you say? What's a sun?
Yeah, it's finally sunny again, and on my day off no less. I am feeling a little guilty for not going into the office since I just had Monday off, but the joy of sitting here relaxing is overbalancing the guilt.
We don't yet have a routine for these summer days, which is unsettling. I work 4-5 hours a day at school, then the rest of the time is free-form. Today I'll probably get started on painting the kitchen; B is getting somewhat antsy about that. I've adapted to the less-than-optimal conditions (as we feared I would): the big cardboard boxes of kitchen things and even the two-tone, two-Bandaid brown colors aren't annoying me as they did at first.
Still, it seems a waste of sunshine to spend the day indoors on a ladder. Maybe the arboretum? Then painting, if I promise? Carpe diem, you know? And the arboretum isn't just a joyride; it's a research trip to learn about native plant communities in order to plan for and plant an ecologically sustainable backyard. Ah, the pleasures of rationalization....
