Bored and Hot
It’s too hot to concentrate on anything. I try, but then I find myself easily distracted. I’ve been getting over a nasty flu and still feel a bit fluffy headed. This flu in particular knocked me out for two days bed-ridden and then I felt better. Well enough to go to Disneyland, but I ended up relapsing and was bed-ridden for another two days. Both times I had a slight temperature and now I’m working on ditching a lingering cough.
The highlights of the last 3 weeks haven’t been all that noteworthy. I guess. We got the trees trimmed and had the guys pulled out EIGHT trees from the front yard. Dude. Eight trees! Most of which were horrible tasting grapefruits. Try to imagine a fruit that tastes like lemon, grapefruit, and foot. So we got rid of them all. I intend on planting fruit we’ll actually eat: peaches, apples, oranges…not eight, maybe four. The apricots came and went. I’d planned on making jam but because I felt so rotten, so went the apricots. The plums are in. Let’s see if I can actually get off my ass and make something out of that. Plum jam? Where’s my apron?
I haven’t been well enough to work and have been pretty bored. Now that it’s blazing hot, my energy and inertia are at an all time low. Other than that, this Summer promises to be rather entertaining. I’m looking forward to Wall-E, I’m taking a composting workshop at Griffith Park in a few weeks, the outdoor movies have started and I’ve got tickets to see Breakfast at Tiffany’s at the Angel City Drive-In. The new Firefox came out and has rendered my professional website totally useless. Which reminds me, I need to write a strongly worded letter to the company and complain. Comic-Con is next month and we’ve got tickets. No hotel, but we’ve got tickets. We might sleep in the car, but we’ll get in to the convention.
I should just publish this and be done with it. I’m even boring myself.
