Mmmm, bit of a buzz tonight, but still coherent and awake. A good time to post some thoughts, I suppose.
The kids are immersed in Comicon, and really enjoying it. Jonathan has fianlly gotten signed up with Palomar college and now just needs to actually get registered for his classes. Greg is mostly sleeping and enjoying his summer break. Tom is working and just being his usual self.
Me, I’m relaxing, taking it easy for the most part. I just haven’t really felt the need to do much of anything lately. Perhaps it’s the dog days of summer. I’ve put on a couple of pounds during the Hawaii trip, and not made a lot of effort to visit the gym much since or diet, really. I don’t seem to find myself compelled to do much of anything, other than keep track of world events and take care of the more basic needs of life.
This time of year, it’s typically too hot to do much in the garden, beyond water, water, water and mulch, mulch, mulch. And the mulching has been slow, although I try to keep up with the watering. House projects seem like too much work to really bother with, beyond basic maintenance. Reading is sporadic, at best. Writing, well, writing is really tough, since it requires thought and effort. I find myself content to visit the opinions of others who express the thoughts I have been thinknig. Perhaps that is enough, for now.
It seems to be the calm before a period of some activity, like I am just supposed to relax and rest for now and save my energies for what is to come. Fall is usually the time of slowing down and preparing for rest, but, I think perhaps this year, fall will be busy and eventful, and wionter, well, perhaps a joyous celebration if things go right, or a time of preparation for things going very wrong if November proves to be an inauspicious month. It seems things hang very much in the balance right now, and it is unclear which way the scales will tip. I suppose we shall see, and then, plans will need to be made, or celebrations will happen.
Let’s all hope there will be much to celebrate, and not much to fear.
