Cool and damp, supposed to clear up though. Temps in the mid 80s? Yesterday was warm and overcast, which kept it from getting too hot. I didn’t even break a sweat mowing the yard. Today should be warmer, and sunnier.
I did a few things yesterday but mostly got ready for D1’s birthday stuff. Met the “not a” boyfriend. His parents came to the door when dropping him off, and picking him up. Nice kid, kinda shy. The friend group went out and did stuff together, ate, and went home. D1 and X1 came back home and we had cake. At least at Casa De Nick, the cake is not a lie.
Today I’ve got auction stuff to do, some pickups might happen. Tomorrow I will probably head to my client’s house to finish up. The NVR came in over the weekend, a full 5 days early, so I can get it installed and invoiced this week. Client is coming back from a trip overseas so I may give them a couple of days to settle back in to daily life.
This is the last full day of ‘learning’ for the year. I don’t think there will be much ‘learning’ going on. T, W, Th they have testing and half days. Friday off… and we’re probably headed to the BOL for the long weekend. Our rec association will be having their summer kickoff and neighborhood open day for the weekend, but we won’t be there. We’re pretty disengaged from the association this year so far. Got our own stuff going on.
I hope we have a quiet summer, but I expect the violence to get worse, and to get organized again. We’ll see, and I want to be wrong, but if it’s a hot one, we’re going to see a bunch. Make your plans now with safety in mind. Think a bit longer term and consider what changes you will make if it does get worse. Figure out triggers for those changes, and make a plan.
Stack what you need to execute your plan so that you aren’t fighting with 10K others who have the same idea. Get prepped.
