95 Degrees in the Shade
Bleeeurg. It is so hot. Seriously, it is HOT outside. It's even starting to be hot INSIDE that's how hot it is. Today I went to meet Ryan for lunch and getting back into my car I actually touched some part of it that was so hot it raised a blister on my finger.
I wish I could do some stuff in the garden and taking Vanna to the park is pretty much entirely out of the question. In fact, I think I'm going to have to drop out of school. I stood at the bus stop for like 12 minutes the other day and I think I lost like 10lbs in water weight.
I wish someone would just carry me everywhere in a box with a window unit attached to it until September.
Garden Grows
I've been meaning to post an update about this year's garden but...well...lazy, busy etc.
Most of our tomatoes look good and all of the herbs are doing well. We're growing okra for the first time this year so we're hopeful about that. Today I discovered aphids on the cucumbers but I think a hard spray with the hose and then a fine mist of insecticidal soap and I'm pretty confident they'll recover.
You can see more pictures on my Flickr account if you're interested.
Out Pouring
Thank you all SO much for your kind thoughts and words about the stupid clothes being stolen thing. It was REALLY awful but we're doing okay.
The real tragedy is that all the pants I had that were stolen were my FAT pants, which was what what I've been wearing since I (whoops) got fat again. My parents offered some cash to help me buy clothes and I instead asked them to help me pay for a personal trainer so I can fit into all my OTHER pants. My SKINNY pants. Hopefully that plan will work out.
But thanks again. xoxo
I hate my life. Today things seemed to be getting a little brighter and then someone stole almost all of our things from the laundry mat.
All my jeans, most of Ryan's jeans, our fancy sheets, 4 of lovely towels, the beautiful and perfectly soft just-right-color blanket my Grammie gave us as a wedding present.
We don't have the money to replace these things but we both have to wear pants and need at least two towels so there goes another little piece of our savings.
