What I'm Reading This Week #26
Well you made it to Friday! I don't know where y'all are but unless you were near Glacier National Park that got snow this week, you were probably boiling in your own pudding to quote Charles Dickens. I do not dig 90 degrees by noon and it feels like everything is frying left and right including us. Most of the week I had the 50% shade cloths on the veggies to attempt to save as much as I can. I need to get the next batch of lettuce in the shade planter to see if I can successfully grow there over the summer since it never gets direct sun. I told the Mr the other day I feel like nothing is in the right place back there. I have a lot of containers and I don't know if I need to put some of them on a little ledge since the 5 gallon buckets take up so much room or not. The zinnias being in a long planter on the fence were a mistake but they were only put there because I had so many extras and didn't want to chuck them. I have a few struggling...
Wow, that signs of wealth one was really an eye opener in a lot of ways but I think the one that makes me just mad is the line someone shared about just being able to go to a doctor or seek medical care was a sign of wealth to them because they couldn't just do that. Another line in there was about having nice healthy teeth that don't hurt. That just makes me sad and also mad at the way our health care industry works.
ReplyDeleteAside from that I am looking forward to the holidays - bring 'em on!
I read that article about the Palm Oil earlier this week -- awful stuff because, as you said, it's everywhere! Scary.
ReplyDeleteTrip to the burbs today, swim class for one of the pooches tomorrow, lots of laundry, then working. I've woken up the past two days at 4:30am with no falling back asleep and no naps. This is going to make for a VERY long day with a long drive. The pounding headache I have lets me know...lol
Have a super, wonderful, joyful weekend!!
I've seen the thing about drinking 1/2 your body weight in ounces before. No can do though - if I drank that much fluid I would never leave the bathroom. It would just be a constant stream in one end and out the other.
ReplyDeleteI grew up pretty privileged. I didn't know it at the time, but looking back I absolutely know it. That said, there were some tight times out of college and the two that resonated with me were "not knowing EXACTLY how much money you have at the moment" and "not having to do math in the grocery store". I used to shop with a calculator in my hand and for a lot of years I knew, to the penny, how much was in my checking account. Now neither of those things is true.
