return to normalcy

well, we have buried mom mom (his, my gramm is still with us) and spent a long weekend in the mountains (to recover? to delay? to skip ahead?)  and now theoretically life returns to normal, or whatever passes for it in our little world.

some possibly exciting news on the job front that i (supersticiously) won’t talk about until i know more…

and, has anyone else been confounded by the weather again? it is so darn hot for mid-july. i got cooked just walking around the block to move the car this morning. my poor plants might need to get on the water twice a day schedule. i desperately want to plant the green bean and beet seeds i just got in the catskills (meows well?) but fear i will have to start them inside because they will fry as sprouts if things go the way they are going. 

ah. so this is how life goes back to normal… a thought creeps in (as they have been doing) and doesn’t get shoved aside until later.
