So it’s that time of year, summer camps. You have basket ball camp. I wanted to have a seizure just hearing all the bouncing balls. You have skills camp. Robots and s***. Writing camp. Sounds like someone made mommy and daddy mad. Band camp!! Everyone’s favorite, that and camp. With the COVID restrictions lifted everyone gets to have fun again. We all so sadly missed the camps last year. Such a glorious time to be alive.
In truth it has very little effect on my life. I don’t share a building with camps. My dear friends that do, they are overwhelmed with joy. I see them and they are all smiling like the Cheshire Cat. It must hurt their faces to be that happy. You can certainly tell that having a year without camps must have been traumatic. Summer camps are the drug they need to make it through the year. Who doesn’t need a drum line right outside the window at 8AM to motivate you to make it through the day. So blessed they are and probably don’t even know it. How jelly I am. Super jelly. They have it so well made sharing buildings with a bunch of noisy little kids running around encouraged to make more noise. Sad the camps have to eventually end.
With summer camps upon us summer decided to finally show itself. It got HOT and disgusting. It was oppressive. All the worse because the week before was so beautiful. I just don’t 100 degrees. Bekah is excited by the idea. She is a monster. Only a monster could get excited about being outside when it’s that hot. Being in water is another thing. The days I wish I had a pool and than I remember why I’m glad that I don’t.
So the rest of the week I was all on my own. Bekah took off to New Mexico with her sister for mother-in-law birthday . I’m sure they will have a great time. I was already bored. I’m not used to being alone on a work night. WTH!!! The Hotel bar is closed.
Friday finally arrived and I got up to get burritos for everyone. The day was surprisingly nice, minus the heat. I had a fun day. No angry Leroy storming around and cussing. That’s it’s own kind of fun but after a while it gets old. Janine and I just joked around most the day. My blood sugar was whacky so I at things, like wa wa melon, that I can’t usually eat. Yellow one at that. I’d been eyeballing them at the store for a little while. Delicious and refreshing on a warm summer day. I played taxi for a couple stranded friends in the heat. That’s all she wrote. Have a happy beautiful weekend!!!
Reflections are only your memories.
Jalapeño.
Steak bites with peppers and onion, grilled asparagus and potatoes.
Zachos. Thanks again to Jamie & Derek for their garden. You just cannot make these with store zucchini. It isn’t happening. Not how I’d like it anyway. For the first batch of the season I went with fajita chicken & beans. Topped with cheese, lettuce, tomato & jalapeño. Delightful.
I made Pad Thai!!! With chicken. It was just a last min deal. Damn was it good. The chicken I made surprised even I. Warm. I eat warm when Bekah is gone.
Cheese tortellini w/Italian sausage and homemade sauce. I was afraid the Italian sausage would over power so I went with breakfast sausage after getting some advice. I’ve gotten my noodle fix in. It was amazing and I’ll be making it for Bekah.
