While it seems like this past month has been comprised entirely of hellish amounts of work-related stress, truth is I have found quite a bit of time to get out and goof off. It seems like summers pass me by while I stay cooped up indoors, chained to one desk or another, so this time around I’ve been doing what I can to get out of the house every chance I get, soak up some sun, bask in the perfect weather of the Pacific Northwest.
Naturally, something had to give, with “something” being this blog as of late. I’ve been out drinking cold adult beverages with my friends, taking in the occasional baseball game or rock show as time allows. I did find time to hang out with Kerri Anne and Long Story Longer at the Portland Farmer’s Market the other morning, where we ate fresh berries and did our best to avoid all stalkers.
And on Sunday, I even made it out to the beach, where we found clear blue skies, bright sun, and absolutely no waves to speak of. At least the scenery was pretty, though I would have preferred being able to surf.
Yeah, I know I check in like this now and then to get out of writing anything new on my blog, but you know what? I think I’ll write another post, purely out of spite. SPITE, I tell you. Okay, I was just kidding about the spite — the heat is making me a little crazy. Eh.
