- Happy first day of summer! The weather has been so miserable and muggy here, with highs in the 90s and high dew points… and that was still spring. Ahh! I wonder if we’ll have a super hot summer. I hope not.
- My no chip manicure does not seem to like this humidity! It’s been starting to lift a few days before my appointment, for a couple months now. That doesn’t happen in the winter.
- I got my balayage touched up Friday! And a trim too. Talking to my colorist at the salon about her drama with her sister made me feel really grateful for mine and the relationship we have. Whoa.
- I’ve felt really overextended with work (full time and part time) and my upcoming social life lately. Someone I’m not close with on Instagram asked to meet up with me in Chicago and I told them no, that I feel overwhelmed and can’t commit to it. I felt bad. Even though I have no desire to meet up with them, but they responded back immediately “no worries and completely understandable.” It felt good to be honest and not have them press.
- I mentioned the new B&W cat – since they started showing up, this gray cat (that we’d seen before) has been coming around more too.
- Notice the dirty toy in the photo above? We’ve been putting out toys for the outdoor cats to play with. They all love to rub over it and throw it around.
- Our cilantro is still coming in strong. I’ve been cutting it often and sharing it with folks. We don’t eat enough to keep up with it, but I don’t want to leave it alone and have it bolt!
- Our green beans and peas are starting to grow flowers, so maybe we’ll have the beginning of fruit in a few weeks!

Ooh, I think that’s the shortest I’ve seen your hair. It looks cute! And the color looks nice for summer.
I’m sorry you’re feeling so overwhelmed right now – I just went through that a couple weeks ago and it sucks! I’m glad you’re saying no when you need to, and I do think most people understand (and if they don’t you probably don’t want to hang out with them anyway!)
I keep meaning to tell you that my neighborhood has a few cats roaming around! There’s a black kitty that visits my yard pretty regularly and is SUPER friendly. One night I was on my porch and it spent about half an hour demanding pets from me haha. There’s also a beautiful calico cat that pops up occasionally, and a gray one a few blocks away that loves to follow Violet on walks. I think they all have homes, but it’s still nice that they stop by 🙂
Thank you! I am trying to grow it out but… it seems to take me forever.
I hope you are out of the thick of it? I was thinking the same – if they don’t get it, even more of a sign I should not spend time with them!
Aww! I love that you have so many visitors and that some are friendly. You def owe me some pics of the neighborhood crew! What does Violet think of them?
Your hair looks so cute (and light – both figuratively and literally) 🙂
I am glad you were able to be honest and decline the proposed meeting with an IG aquaintenance. Sometimes we really have to listen to our inner voices and I am glad the person was ‘understanding’.
Thank you!
Me too. I hate saying no but gah, meeting up with them would not serve me.
