summer in the city
It has been a crazy summer... and technically summer's barely begun. Though it is my favorite time of year. I've been biking everywhere that I can, trying to not drive at all at least 3 days a week and being successful at that, though not having a job certainly makes that a bit easier. But I love feeling like I'm not dumping more toxins into the air, not expending overpriced gasoline, being out in the open air instead of in traffic. And I love where I live that there are so many places I can get to on my little bike. Yeah. That part of life is good. Oh and getting married August 31st, to get it all done while it is legal here in California... of course we hope it will stay that way but you just never know... SO. Getting married and planning a wedding quickly and thus avoiding being part of the culture of spending tons of time, money, and energy making decisions. We kind of just go with our guts on things and keeping the whole thing fun and not too stressful... at least not at the moment. Getting reply card in the mail is way, way more fun than you can imagine.
Anyway my life is very strange right now not just because I'm planning a wedding which is strange enough, but because I'm doing a lot of work on a lot of projects that could materialize into paid things, but it's all like if, when, jumping through a million hoops to get to that point. So, constantly busy, not getting paid, going to meetings which usually require some sort of preparation, and, yeah, getting married. But yes, it is July, my favorite month of the year and I kind of did nothing special on July 4th which is as it should be and which is kind of why it's my favorite holiday in the first place.
Constantly at war between what I should be doing and what I feel like doing. Can't seem to sleep later than 7:30 in the morning. Fear that the grain weevils have once again taken up residence somewhere in my kitchen and do not look forward to the search and destroy mission. Am by myself waaaaay too much of the time and worry that it will impact my already questionable social skills... Other than that, pretty much doing okay :) And definitely meaning to check in more...
