Much-Needed Rest

Hello, lovelies. It's bee a while, hasn't it?

What have you all been up to in the month since we last spoke?

...

(Honestly, feel free to leave a comment and tell me what you've been doing so far this summer...)

It's taken a while for summer to finally kick in for me. Maybe because school got out two weeks after the seniors left. Maybe it's because, until about Tuesday, the weather's been rather...un-summery. Seriously, it's been like 70+ degrees for the past four days. First time all year.

Maybe it also feels like summer finally because I'm at a job now. And the only reason I'm really calling it a job is because I'm getting paid. It's hardly work at all. Basically, I'm house-sitting and dog-sitting for the ext two weeks. The only things I have to do are let the dogs out a few times a day, feed them, and stay overnight with them. And occasionally feed the turtles, water the plants, and take the trash out. That leaves a lot of extra time to just...hang out. They have Netflix (I'm currently on my sixth or seventh episode of Doctor Who and it's barely been one day). And a Wii. So I'm pretty much getting paid to sit around all day and play with the dogs and read and watch movies. Sounds like a pretty sweet deal to me.

While I'm cooped up in this house all the time, though, I'm trying to find other things to keep myself busy and...productive. I'm starting a little work-out regime for myself so I don't completely waste away in front of the T.V. all day and waste this amazing weather we're having (did I mention that these people also bought me food to last me the entire two weeks?). I'm going to do my darndest to keep it up every day I'm here and add new things to my little routine every day as well. These people have a super long drive-way that's a good length for walking back and forth on, so I can do "laps" every day.

On the other hand, I really am enjoying this relaxing pseudo-vacation. I get to stay up late and sleep in every day (after I feed the dogs at 6 a.m.). And not get out of my pj's until the afternoon. That's nice as well.

I'll probably post more things during my time here, just to keep myself busy and to exercise my creative juices. I mean, I've been kind of lonely, in a way, since BEDSY ended.

I'll figure something else out eventually. Maybe I'll do NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month for those not in the know). Or something more normal. Like BEDA.

Hope you're all having a fabulous summer! : )
