Midweek Check In
Happy Hump Day to you and yours! Anyone else having a case of the "short week feels longer than a regular week" yet or does that hit tomorrow? Unfortunately, Monday afternoon the tweens/teens found the pool not too far from the abode so we got to listen to the hootings of young, insecure males attempting to show off for both girls and their fellow brethren. I'm really hoping this is just some cousins visiting or something for the weekend because I know of only one teen boy here and he's a loner. Is pool season over yet? It always starts strong like this and then typically dies down within a month but what an irritating month it is until then. We did some more work out on the patio Monday. It was going to be the last sunny day before two days of forecasted rain...again. I made sure to get the new picket painted and hung to cover this delightful sight: When the picket was off, I could see how bad the support 2x4's looked on the fence. ...
If I have a rhythm in my head, I have to tap it out using either my fingers or my toes. When I was a kid I was taking guitar lessons and the teacher, who was a bit of a hippie, saw my toes moving inside my shoes and said "whoa, whenever I pluck a string I can see something move inside your shoes" (he must have been really high, now that I think about it). I was embarrassed at the time to admit that I just had to tap out a beat so I just said they were new shoes and made my toes hurt.
ReplyDeleteWe call that sun tricked here. Bright and sunny and inviting, and so cold once you go outside. Where I live it's pretty much sunny all the time including in the winter.
ReplyDeleteI talk to myself. All the time. It's a source of never ending amusement to my students.
I'm very OCD about checking the stove knobs before leaving the house - repeatedly. And in stores, if I see a can of soup, a box of cereal, or something like that turned upside down I have to fix it. Drives my husband batty. LOL
