My Summer Thus Far

The heat, the sun, the lake and river, the bathing suits, the snow cones, the sand castles, the less traffic at 3 pm near the high school, the suntan lotion, and the graduations for both schools. All these things signal summer, at least for most.

For me, it's coming home and unpacking, applying to get a job, immediately (on the spot) getting that job, going on a date with Josh that ended badly, working my first day, cleaning the house, angry moments, and sitting around the salon all day. At least so far.

I haven't been updating my blog like I should, reminding myself about every day and every moment. 2 out of the 3 I wrote were about something bad or unfortunate that happened, and 1 was a memory.

Maybe 1 day I'll write about how I took a day off from work and everyone else, and laid on the lake's beach and tanned while wearing my new bathing suit, enjoying the heat and the sun, while eating a snow cone and building a sand castle, then driving home to no traffic at 3 in the afternoon..but until then, I'll be acting like an adult.

Here's to growing up some more this summer.
