HAPPY ANNIVERSARY BEAR!

Today is Liz and my eight anniversary. We’ve been together for eightEEN years as of three days ago. That’s…wild. In a few years, we will have been together as long as we were alive before we met each other, which is also WILD. We were 21 when we first started dating. We went steady and serious right around my 22nd birthday. Children!

Anyway…not a super duper productive day for me. Had some Netflix work, did some weeding in the morning…had to run some errands like go to Costco, and I wanted to go get some flowers from Liz’s favorite florists. Get a card. Drop off some returns at Whole Foods.

That didn’t help, but it was really the heat that just knocked me out, man. I’m done with it. I’ve pushed through as hard as I could, and I’ve gotten a SHIT TON of stuff done, but I have hit a wall. Or, at least I did today. It’s so unbelievably hot right now. Hovering close to 110º every day for the past week, and it won’t let up until Saturday, when a thunderstorm is supposed to roll through…which makes things a little nerve wracking for our backyard party…we’ll see. Hopefully it doesn’t rain much. If it does, we can either cancel the party or hang out inside.

I’m just frustrated today with everything I haven’t been able to finish. I wanted to be done with my book. Nope. I wanted to be done with the front and backyard. Nope. I wanted to have the shed built and the stuff moved out of the house. Nope.

Sigh…

I’m CLOSE on all of those things. I really am, and that’s the big takeaway. I’m close. I’m going to get all of those things done because of all the hard work I’ve put in…just today, I burned out. I was done. I need rest. And I’m really looking forward to this heat going away.

Night night.
