somethings + nothings: July 30, 2016
We find ourselves preparing for work travels again. Trying to get ahead of the upcoming deadlines, launder all the linens, procure car storage, stop the mail. There's been a lot of that this summer. Feels as if it was April and then I turned around and it was August. We're making a dash to do some wedding planning tomorrow - a looming project that feels more cumbersome than pleasurable so far, at least to me. Perhaps venue scouting in the mountains will make it feel more like a concrete party and less like an enormous and expensive expenditure of both money and energy. Otherwise, I am trying to eat all the berries and watermelon before we head to climes more Atlantic.
