Easily Excitable

I’m typing this at 8:11 Saturday morning, and I normally post at 8:30. Godspeed to me.

My normal routine is to type out my writing in a Google Doc throughout the week, and edit it/ whittle it down as I go; I will then do a hard edit on Friday and Saturday morning.

In this case? There’s no time like the present, right?

Needless to say, this will not be a long post.

This is just a writing wherein I have really only one thing to say:

I forget how much I love summertime.

In the span of one week, I’ve gotten to do some of my favorite things:

• Hang out with Trey
• Spend time with my blood family and bonus family
• Garden
• Play with Boone
• Watch TV
• Read books
• Walk with Aubri
• Go to the beach
• Swim in the pool
• Work out
• Jump waves in the ocean
• Cook decent food
• Get my hair done

I haven’t thought about lesson plans or piles of essays that need to be graded. I haven’t felt rushed to do anything.

I’ve not fixed my hair more than once in the past week.

And so, all this to say, I adore summertime.

May is the busiest of all months, so I’m grateful to be able to end it with a much slower pace. Even if that slower pace does end with a Hail-Mary-pass of a blog post.

Thank you for reading, and happy summertime! I hope you get to do all of your favorite summer-y things too.
