Having worked an over 13 hour day yesterday, I went back home early with a really horrid headache today, spending a good several hours just laying there, wiped out, before working another 3 hours later. But, these are meant to be the LAZY DAYS OF SUMMER, right?! In keeping with that, with ice pack to the back of my neck, I focused on good old days of much ado about nothing: casually strolling to TCBY to go split a yog-wich sandwich; walking around in shorts and flip flops during summer school; playing Frisbee golf and so on. Ahh... while yet always having to work, time seemed so care-free then, even if really it wasn't for the most part. Still, there are always those memories of such summer days. Let's focus on those. ...Now, someone pass the iced lemonade, won't you? :)
See you back here in a fortnight for the sign-up [below]. I don't know about you, but I'm doing my best to escape that sizzling sun and high temps. (Autumn can't come soon enough for Alexandra and I, let me tell you.)
Sorry to hear that you're in pain. Hope you feel better.
ReplyDeletefinally better before I worked this evening and then later still, put this post up! thank you Whisk!
DeleteGlad to read that you're finally better. Good deal.
DeleteHi dear, thanks so much of all those lovely comments you left, always love hearing from you!
ReplyDeleteHeadaches can really wipe one out - funnily mine seemed to disappear once I retired so I think they were caused by stressful jobs! I hardly ever get even a teeny weeny one these days - thankfully - so hope hope you are soon feeling better - and yes, cooler weather may help.
We Brits just can't adjust to torrid climes I fear - I've never been able to enjoy heat and humidity - it must be something to do with growing up in cooler climes, don't you agree? In June, the UK was beautiful for our visit - although it did heat up after we left and everyone was complaining and wished they had a/c!
Jasmin had so much fun in Devon, meeting up with family and friends after a long 8 year absence. She's almost 19, the age I was when I came to the US - now so won't have a problem remembering everyone after this trip. Thank you for your kind comment regarding my grandma status with Jasmin - you know how she has been such a big part of our lives always. It was really wonderful being able to show her places from my childhood - and she didn't even act bored, just listened to my rabbiting on and love it all, bless her!
I just know you and Alexandra will soon be embracing autumn and your creativity will be boundless in the cooler days - sending love to you both.
Stay well - be happy every day.
Hugs - Mary
Thank you, Mary.
DeleteMy "kids" wants to go to the UK with me but it is such an expense and especially if all of them. We shall see. :) And yes, totally, re: cooler weather.
if it's the last days of summer, why even a theme? I guess I'm just lazy but I don't think I'll be doing anything this time, too wipe out from the heat and mostly I guess I'm really just lazy... ha
ReplyDeletehope you & Alexandra have a lovely end of summer.
Umm...OK! But if you are in the lazy summer muse then this theme should be perfect for you, Lissa! :)
DeleteI like the theme, and I will be back from my sister trip to participate. Let's see now.... I need to think of a new twist for this theme. I'm saying a little prayer that old headache will skoot along and leave you alone.
ReplyDeleteI'm anxious for Fall....ready to get out my decorations. Sending love and hugs.
Headache left--thus why I worked later that day too.
DeleteOK, Wanda's art with a twist sounds great. Can't wait!
13 hours! Feel better soon. I already have an idea for your summer theme!
ReplyDeleteWas better by the time I wrote that or I wouldn't have worked later either. thank you. OOh, I'm sure that whatever you do will be great.
DeleteSmiling at that happy, floating elephant.
ReplyDeleteHeh, I wonder if you;ll smile at the drawing I'm putting up tomorrow? :) thank you, Suza for visiting and offering your support. Very much appreciated, let me tell you. :) Thank you, again.
DeleteI debated whether my take on the theme was fitting the theme and in the end, I decided it was. I did said I wasn't going to anything but this just came about. sometimes my brain just works and sometimes, well, you know, it's best to accept whatever comes.
ReplyDeletehope you're having a cool summer.
Lissa, not been able to look at anyone's today but thank you for doing this. Glad it worked out for you. i'm sure it's great, asual!
