Summer is ramping into gear. Is that a mixed metaphor? Our dear friend gave us two of her trade days at Wilbur, so we are heading out Sunday for some relaxation in the hot springs! So fortuitous. The weather is going to be perfect. I will post photos if I remember.
I am also in the process of buying a tent and preparing for some summer camping. Even though I'll be working, it's pretty light duty in the summer, and there are only two days a week I actually have to be on campus. And though we have a lot we need to accomplish around the house, the highest priority is getting out into nature and recharging our souls. It's been a shit several years now, and it doesn't look like things are going to get better soon, to be honest. Survival depends on caring for ourselves and each other, so that's what we're gonna do.
Why don't I have a tent? Because I used to live in cohousing, where borrowing one is easy. Also, my previous partner wouldn't go camping with me. He's a good person, but what was I thinking?
We've got to get the pool opened as well. It's not that big a deal, just kind of tedious. You have to time all the chemicals over a day or two. And we need to go to a store and buy things, get the water tested, etc. If I hadn't had terrible sleep last night, I'd do it today. Maybe tomorrow.
And then there's just catching up on so much that I couldn't do before the hip replacement...it's a lot. Who knew dust could collect on ceilings, for example? What the hell is that?? Some bullshit, that's what.
Update on book reading: join the Sacramento Public Library summer reading club! You can be anywhere in the world. I need help deciding what to read, and it's a fun way to connect sans social media algorithms. My friend code is I5ONBTK. It's what all the cool kids are doing. FYI.
