Mid-summer must always scatter my brain. I was this way last year as well (or so my blog tells me).  So I’m just going to do a little brain-cleaning here.

Been a really nice summer weather-wise; July in particular has been heavenly. Going to visit my mother today, who knows she is in a decline but still manages to keep getting out of bed every morning. Grateful for all the staff at her home who take care of her. Tired of people resisting the fact that we’re in the 21st century and we should have moved on from certain mindsets by now. Even more tired of the PA state workers not getting paid. It’s only “inconvenient” for this household, but for some I know it’s devastating. Glad my friend who had cancer has it no longer. Glad my friend in the midst of a divorce seems to have found a good place to land. Sorry both my brothers are so angry. Itching to run away to the beach, but that’s not going to happen.  Happy to be seeing the rockstar this weekend; hoping I can see family as well. Loved Shane Nelson’s “Christmas in July” this morning. Sick of reading lies about my husband on blogs written by people who are just repeating lies they all heard from one source who should be ashamed of herself. Enjoying pet-sitting little B and turning him on to catnip (prrrrrr). Reading this and realizing it’s not a parallel series. Not going to correct it. Ha!
