Today I ordered grocery delivery from Instacart because I thought I should stock up before the weekend. That way I am less apt to ordered take out. Anyway, I ordered 3 cobs of corn for something that I was planning on making…

I opened the door to grab them from the hallway floor after they dropped them off and what do I see? Three bags of corn. Each bag containing 8 cobs.

What the hell am I going to do with all that?

I am rolling into this weekend with the mindset that I am going to accomplish some of the things that I said I was going to do this summer. Yikes. We still have boxes that aren’t unpacked here which is even more yikes.

Most of the boxes are actually my teenagers and she severely lacks motivation so I really need to kick her ass into gear over the next week or so.

I honestly didn’t do much this week because it has just been way too hot. Both my girls don’t do well in the heat at all, and when I brought my oldest to the clinic to get her second vaccination on Monday it was extremely hot.

On the way home, both of them were borderline fainting on the sidewalk. I thought Merle was going to have a heart attack because she was purple and making really horrendous sounds.

Needless to say, that is why I have not gone anywhere that involves walking this week. The drama that was involved in a simple outing is so not worth it.

It’s my birthday…42 times around the sun. Twenty years ago I would have been drinking copious amounts of beer at a bar, while I get a birthday song dedication of Guns N’ Roses: Paradise City. Then I would have proceeded to go home very late and sleep the entire next day away.

Now I am waiting for my dinner delivery, contemplating ordering some kind of cake-ish dessert, and mentally debating the pros and cons of going to bed at an actual decent time tonight.

Oh, how times change.

It is one week until my birthday and I am not totally sure how I feel about it. The last year doesn’t even feel like a year. It’s crazy how much time has gone by and yet I can’t really remember all of it. It all blurs together.

What do I want for my birthday? I have no idea.

Tom asked me to send him like 10 things that I have on my wishlist so he can pick something from there. I sent him 4 things I think. I don’t really have 10 things on a wishlist at the moment.

I will classify today as the headache day since I woke up with one, and I am going to bed with it too. Headaches really kick the shit out of you.

I suffer from migraines on occasion but there was a time several years ago that I was getting 1-2 a week on average where they incapacitated me to the point of vomiting for hours.

I’m thankful that the time period has seemed to pass, but I am finding that the amount of regular headaches is increasing for me. I assume it is a product of the last 18 months.
