Yep, I said it. We’re building a fence! Or rather, a gate in an already extant fence. By which I really mean that Lewis’ dad designed, framed, and hung said gate, and now all we’ve got left to do is put the facing back on it. But it still feels very accomplished! We only got half done this morning before Lewis had to go do TA stuff, but I think we’ll get it polished off tomorrow. I’ll put some pictures up (though I know it’s only a silly gate)! It’s going to be amazing to be able to walk through the fence on that side… we’ve only had one tiny gate that goes between the front and back yard, so you sorta had to walk through the garage or through the bedroom or living room until now! So good.
I actually managed to get a little work done this afternoon too – read through a paper in preparation for thinking about a QP. I don’t know why I’ve been dreading reading my own work lately, but I managed a few pages at least. Got my gears moving, a little. It would be nice to get past this mental block before I use up my whole summer… but if I don’t, it’s not a total disaster. I’d rather I start Fall quarter refreshed, but better still refreshed and accomplished. Anyway, some progress is better than no progress, and I got some progress made today.
Got lots of other bits and pieces done today. I set up our finances for next year so I’ve got a fancy spreadsheet where I can keep track of things, which I’m excited to break in soon. Oh, and I got a haircut scheduled for next week! Yay! I also hit up the Co-op, but I wasn’t really feeling that into cooking or planning this week, so it was a little meagre. But I’ve got food plans for the next few days at least, and I at least got us filled back up on the essentials. It would be good to get into the once-a-week swing of things again so we don’t have to buy so much at once.
Well, there’s my day in brief. And on that note, I’m ready for a good night’s sleep! I never sleep well when it stays hot all night (which it sure does on these 105+ days), but it finally stayed below 100 today, and there’s a nice breeze… it’s lovely! I can already feel the impending comfortable snoozes! :)
