Hey guys! It’s been a while (3 weeks!) since I’ve posted and I’m excited to be back. I’ve been busy enjoying a gorgeous summertime here, gardening, playing in the grass with puppies and enjoying a beer in the gazebo with my family most weekends. There have been a couple heat streaks here as well, which has had me sneaking off to my sister’s or my parent’s place to keep cool. And then of course, catching the flu forced some downtime for me, too. I had to take the bad with the good, though!
I can’t believe I caught the flu for the second time this year which is basically unheard of for me! I’ll catch coldsdecently often in the winter since I work in a post-secondary setting and often take the bus when it’s cold out. But the flu is not something I’m used to and it knocked me right out. I can’t believe I’m saying this but I didn’t stop feeling tired for 2 weeks after I got over the fever, AND I took two days off of work. Luckily, miss Sylvie is still the sweetest and I’ve noticed that when I’m available, she’ll choose to snuggle me lately. Maybe she knew I was tired?
The garden is really coming along. My mum and I did the second seeding this past weekend and we have a whole basil PATCH now, which my pesto-loving heart is so pleased about. I’m guilty of standing outside in their yard watching the birds fly around a lot lately. Something about the quiet and not having your relaxation time visible to dozens of neighbors just feels so good. I love my little neighborhood but something about the quiet out there sinks into my bones. And, there’s a new craft brewery not too far from their place and we’ve been having fun trying new beers!
So now, it’s hopefully back to the normal swing of things for me! I’m taking two days holiday to teach this week which is awesome and an unexpected little boost to my budget. I’m working on some videos, some blog posts and just generally trying to get back into my old routine. Is anyone else ridiculously excited about Chrissy Teigen’s next collection with Becca? I’m dying to get my hands on some of their new products, save me, but that’s not really in the budget. Anyone know of dupes?
Anyhow, I hope you’re all doing well! Let me know in the comments how your summers are going!
