Stop the car

6-17-15

It’s my last day of dealing with homework until September!!!

My plan today is when I arrive home is to change into comfy clothes and to walk up to the park. The boys will both be there for their 3rd and 4th grade picnic outing. It occurs to me that I am unsure as to where the entrance is to said park what with it being one I have only driven past it. I suppose I will go down Walnut first and hope for the best.

Tomorrow my work is having some kind of lunch at a local restaurant. You would think I would be giddy at the prospect of a free meal, but really these sorts of things annoy the crap out of me. It means I have to drive elsewhere for lunch, which I don’t like to do. I also will be forced to make small talk with a group of people that I truly don’t care about. I am horrid at this sort of interaction and I already feel some anxiety bubbling up inside. I would totally take care of this with my standard method these days, but sadly I am thinking showing up even a teensy bit high to a work function is not a good plan.

Another busy weekend ahead of me with Registration at the Farmer’s Market on Saturday from 8 to 1 and some Dad’s day activities both days. I am looking forward to seeing Inside Out. When Pixar brings out a new movie, it is a big deal in our household. Ken and I have been seeing them since Toy Story, which was even before we were dating, so I like this tradition and am happy to include the boys as well.

I had quite the scare this morning when I backed out of the driveway. I don’t tend to park there, but Ken changed my brakes yesterday. As I started out, hit the brakes to slow and my pedal hit the floor and I wasn’t slowing down. It was terrifying! I luckily had the peace of mind to pull the parking brake and I came to a stop. It also was good that it was 4 in the morning so there was not the standard amount of traffic. My brakes had not been reset after the change and with a bit of pumping, they were back to normal, but holy crap! I almost didn’t need coffee this morning!

I have to admit, I am growing tired of the blue. I feel like purple is so much cooler, but I also hate how many people I have seen sporting the hue. I know that it shouldn’t matter what others do. Either way, I would really love to work on rainbow. I have seen some interesting approaches to it that don’t look as uniform and more like a cool oil stain on hot pavement. I think I could pull that off. In addition to this, I really am considering chopping the locks. I wouldn’t go super short, but it is appealing at times to have it about an inch above my shoulders. This is the longest I have had my hair in a while. I am going to attempt to be patient and see how I feel in a couple weeks.


This day truly cannot end soon enough. I guess I will attempt to speed it up by doing some work.
