It’s going to sound like nothing makes me happy, but I have a bone to pick with this summer. The first half of summer did nothing but rain. The second half of the summer so far has been ridiculously hot and humid. Today we’ve got a bit of a breeze and I can sit outside without sweating, which is nice. Shortly I’m going to go inside and dye yarn, which will immediately turn my house into a sauna.
Jeremy has been working a lot lately, to the degree that we have only an hour or two each evening to spend relaxing. He’s been putting in full days at his storyboarding gig and weekends at the retail job. I cannot wait until that’s over.
Nothing much has been going on around here except for work. I really wanted to spend at least one day at the beach but we haven’t had a chance to do that yet. We did make it to the drive-in to see District 9 (highly recommend) and today my sister is taking Alex to see Harry Potter. Otherwise, the summer’s been kind of a wash. We’re looking forward to taking a little holiday to New Jersey this fall, once the work is done. Watch out, because my hair will be COMING DOWN.
The last post I wrote was in June. July was almost a complete write-off for me because I was lucky enough to get pneumonia. I don’t get sick often, so when the cold was going around the weekend I had guests, I wasn’t worried about it. I seemed to get over it in just a couple of days, but my cough kept getting worse. I couldn’t figure it out. Within a couple of days I was coughing so badly I could barely breathe and I felt like my ribs were going to break. The doctor confirmed pneumonia and got me on some inhalers and antibiotics. I am just so glad no one else got it. It took me the whole month to get over it and I still have a bit of a cough, but doctors say I’m not contagious and it’s safe to make out with me now. Ha ha.
Alex is having a great summer fooling around with his guitar, going to taekwondo and occasionally babysitting. Jeremy is working on storyboarding a pilot for TNT and was treated to a business trip to LA so he could get a head start with the director. And that’s why I have this video:
Now that I can breathe without an inhaler and have enough strength to pick up a wet noodle, I’ve gotten back to prepping for the K-W Knitter’s Fair. I’m terrified I’m not going to have enough time to prepare enough stock! Whatever…I will go with whatever I have and do the best I can. Wish me luck!
