Soon...

Welp, not much action on my blog! It's just not what people read anymore, but I'm happy to have a record of my musings anyway. Looking back at old posts is often illuminating.

We went to the pool store to get instructions on opening the pool, which unfortunately has not responded enough to treatments. I'm pretty annoyed that we don't have it available on this hot weekend. Back to the pool store early tomorrow, and perhaps I'll make sure to get someone else to help me with the water analysis.

The summer session at work is busy. Not with students so much as logistics? Not sure what to call it. The reorganization, and the shifting tasks that everyone has. So many people have moved to new positions or left the college that the next year at least will be pretty chaotic. The decision to work this summer was a good one, in spite of not really feeling as well rested as I'd like. It's also a time to work without as many interruptions and without certain people. OK, without a certain person. I do very much enjoy the core group of folks I work with.

Soon, our time away from social media will be up. I'm not sure what that will look like, but there will be a severe pruning of people I interact with. It's not actually so much that I don't like them or the interactions are unpleasant. It's more an issue of my carrying capacity and boundaries. I really like my work friends, for instance, but it also makes me feel like I never leave work. Also, frankly, I just don't want to keep my game face on all the time. Academics are really fucking prissy. 

We've been busy around the house, fixing, moving, rearranging, etc. I've finished multiple little projects, which always feels good. But especially when I am feeling much more abled than in recent years. It's really just lovely to be able to take care of yourself. Depending on others? A little goes a long way. It makes me dread getting older, but what can you do? La, la, la-la-la-la live for today...
