Back to normal...ish
Jul. 11th, 2021 04:07 pmOur extended weekend vacation up in Mendocino was quite enjoyable! And by that, I mean that we hardly did a dang thing except go out to eat here and there, visit a few bookstores (including one with a cat, yay!), have a couple of good long nature walks, and sit around in our ridiculous rented room (which was once a water tower, with a lovely seating area with many windows and an open bedroom area with a weirdly high ceiling), doing little but reading and listening to music.
(Our vacations are usually planned by way of doing all the exciting things early in the day so by afternoon and evening we can just have dinner and relax. It works out quite well.)
It took me a few days to get back to some semblance of order with my daily schedule, as I had some daytime errands to do when we returned, and some local pollen decided to burst forth and get me all stuffed up for a day and a half. By midweek I did manage to get somewhat back on track with my writing, including a stellar day on Thursday. Hopefully I'll be back on track come tomorrow.
Surprisingly, we've been to the movies three times in the last month or so as part of our post-vaccine celebrations. Two music documentaries (The Sparks Brothers and Summer of Soul) and one silly action film (F9: The Fast Saga). Looks like one of the upsides of the theaters being open again is that we can finally see all the movies that have been on TBA status for the past year! Still wearing our masks in public, though, not that it bothers us any.
And today while A remained indoors to deal with her own allergies, I headed to Green Apple to pick up the latest Susan Dennard (Witchshadow), whose books I'm currently rereading, then spent a bit of time and money at the farmers market up the street. We are now awash in fruits and veg! Which is good, because we were running desperately low.
So! Any plans for this coming week? Not really, other than to get back into my daily schedule and maybe kickstart a few more submissions. I'm hoping the weather will comply, as we are really getting tired of the high humidity prodding our heads!
Hope everyone has a lovely week!
