I got to experience something today that I haven’t since I was a teenager. I was out running errands on foot, and I knew that it was going to rain before I even left the house. I wore my sneakers so I could move fast, and I brought an umbrella.

What I didn’t think through was my choice of trousers.

I wore these.

Well, so much for the rain-filled weekend that I was looking forward to. It was actually sunny and extremely hot. It was also ridiculously windy. I had to walk down to the post office today to drop off my weekend Poshmark sales and I got to experience the wind firsthand.

It always forms a wind vortex in between the condos and tall buildings, but today it was excessive. Stupid me didn’t realize this until I was already on my way and I was wearing some wide leg linen pants that became like a couple of parachutes on my legs making walking extremely difficult.

It looks like it is going to rain for the next 5+ days and I’m not going to complain about it. In fact, I am looking forward to it. It will be hot still so we can just sit on the balcony and enjoy the rain, maybe I will read a book during the actual day instead of 2 o’clock in the morning like I do every night.

I hit my 500th consecutive day on Duolingo today. I started just before the pandemic and am honestly surprised that I haven’t missed a day. Merle hit her 63rd consecutive day for German.

I am not sure if the Zara sale has started for all countries or just Canada at the moment but I swore I was going to avoid it. Surprise, surprise I didn’t. When I got the “Zara Sale has started” notification on my phone the adrenaline kicked in.

It brings out this weirdly competitive side of me that I wasn’t aware existed until I started shopping this sale. The good news is that they kept everything that I had in my cart before the sale started, in my cart.
