Hi Dee Ho,
I went to my local farmer's market on Wednesday and got myself some flowers. They are gorgeous, but I don't think they are going to make it a week. I will take the few days with them on my table because I can enjoy a little bit of summer without going out into the sweltering Georgia-like oven that has invaded our Minnesota climate.
How are you staying cool this week? We go for our walks early in the morning and then hole up for the rest of the day in front of the air conditioner.
Here are five things to enjoy while you are trying to stay cool.
- This podcast: Kendra Adachi, The Lazy Genius, has one idea after another that will help us get through the summer with a smile on our face and some love in our hearts. Her podcasts are fairly short. I listen to them Monday mornings when I walk the dog.
- This instagram post: More ideas for House Rules on The Lazy Genius IG page.
- This YouTube: The enthusiasm of this video gave me chills and made me cringe at the same time. And then I found myself tearing up. It's been a long 15 months.
- This Trailer: This is coming out in a week. And I'm super excited to take my kids back to the movie theatre!
- This thing about my kids: Our 13 year old got his Covid vaccine on Tuesday. Yesterday--Wednesday--he was running a low grade fever, had a headache, and had a stomachache. But by this morning, he was back to his normal "perky" self. (How perky can a 13 year old really be?)
