It’s the same thing every summer. Here we are, just over halfway through, and I don’t know where the time has gone. Of course, there are more things that I would like to do than I’ll get time for, and there are the things that simply have to get done.
I was having so many issues with this site going down for a couple of months. I like to blame my earlier failed attempt at more regular blogging on this, but the truth is more likely that I just didn’t make the time for it. Still, the site was going down almost two dozen times a day. The issue should be resolved now.
If you can’t load this, please let me know so I can look into it further.
The big project for the summer is, of course, getting ready for the arrival of our daughter. My mother-in-law helped me paint the room and my father-in-law helped me lay the laminate flooring. The crib and dresser have been assembled and a rug has been put down. I’m quite pleased with how it turned out, even though I’m forcing myself to not make small things into big issues, like how the nails on the quarter round moulding is still quite visible. There are some spots I’d like to repaint, too. Those things, however, are incredibly minor.
I’m hoping to start getting out of bed in the mornings. Within about twenty minutes of summer starting, my sleep schedule went to shit. It’s been an uphill battle trying to regulate my routines. I want to shut down completely but also feel the need to go full tilt. Cruising at a healthy pace would be the ideal but my energy and motivation comes in fits and starts.
I discovered Candy Crush at the beginning of the summer. Many hours have been spent staring at the tiny boxes on my phone’s screen. My finger is wearing. It’s about as much brain power as I can exert for any extended period of time.
My goal, now, is to adopt more slow living ideals. I can’t watch a TV show through. Hell, I can barely make it through a YouTube Short. It bothers me that I can’t think with any depth. So, I must practice, and practice I shall.
I feel like I have to take the next few months to set myself up to be the best version of myself that I can be for our baby girl.
