Currently (4th of July Edition)

Reading: nothing. I still can’t focus on reading.

Wearing: a 4th of July shirt and red shoes. I love seeing everyone dressed in red, white, and blue on the 4th. It’s so fun! And an excuse to be a little tacky. 

Today at our neighborhood 4th of July party, I was talking to a lady from Australia, and she was telling me how excited she was to go to Walmart and buy all the Americana accessories. She was also very excited to get to light fireworks because they are illegal in Australia (to light yourself). 

Annoyed by: fighting kids.

Craving: birria tacos.

Listening to: thunder! We have a bit of a storm rolling in.

Buying: finger nail polish remover.

Eating: string cheese and beef jerky. 

Laughing about: my friend Denise in this gorilla costume.

Singing: “Praise to the Man.”

Suffering from: heat exhaustion. I’ve been out in the heat a lot this week, and I’ve been getting headaches and feeling a bit nauseous from it. 

Proud of myself for: being 5 days soda sober. I’m trying to go soda-free for the duration of Nicky’s mission.

Missing: sweatshirt weather.

Enjoying: my freshly flossed teeth.

Sick of: politics.

Hoping: to catch up on sleep over the next few days.

Wanting: to go on vacation. 

Wondering: if I’d make a good rodeo clown. 

Feeling: tired. 

Cooking: nothing. I’m on break after the heavy amount of cooking I’ve done this past week. 

Avoiding: helping Daisy get her driving hours in. 

Needing: to clean my room. 

Grateful for: life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
