🎶Looks like we made it…🎶 (Yes, as sung to the tune of Barry Manilow's song)
That's another month.
More social media posts.
More TV watching, reading, new music to listen to.
There were sunrises and sunsets to bookend our days.
There were commencement ceremonies and celebrations.
There were doctor appointments I've been putting off, but this is life in your 30's, I've accepted that.
There were daydreams about the busy season ending and the summer days kicking in.
There were heart to hearts through text messages.
I've started creating more and taking ownership of what I want to do again - I want to bring back a little bit of that journalism bug that has been chewing away at me recently, to highlight people whose work and projects I've loved.
There has been a lot of coffee to get me through the days, but also more electrolyte drinks, like Splash soda and Unwell by Alex Cooper.
There have been cooler evenings, which I am going to take advantage of before the heat really creeps in and takes over completely.
There have been naps in the afternoon.
I hit the milestone of 10 years at my job and 50 years of the newspaper in the same day.
I've also recently been caught up in the nostalgia of the early 2000s. Maybe it's the ads for Lancome Juicy Tubes by Hilary Duff and Chad Michael Murray, the fact that Freakier Friday is coming out soon and Lindsay Lohan's career is thriving once again. Or maybe it's that I've been listening to that Disney book, thinking back to all of my own memories that were somehow interconnected to all the pop culture references that made such a stamp on my teen years, like High School Musical and Hannah Montana.
So, yeah, there's been a lot of life lived in the last month. And now, after having my first Friday off from work for the summer. I've started making my list of what I want to do with the summer - tasks I want to do, trips I hope to take, the usual. I don't like too much free time; gives too much time to think. I'm working on that. Any ideas on what I should do this summer?
