I have been thinking about this a lot lately, especially in relation to completing my dissertation.There is this adage called Hofstadter's Law which says it always takes longer than you think it's going to take. Even when you think it's going to take a long time. Even when you take Hofstadter's Law into account.
Another weekend spent in the backyard. And, I do not feel guilty about it. This is my last full weekend of summer break. While I do not have to report to campus until August 7, per contract, I will be going into the office later this week. Hopefully, it will provide a smooth transition into the clown show that is public education.
On a happier note, I am really excited about this succulent planter. It almost died this winter, due to excessive rain and freezing temperatures. And while some of my succulents are getting sunburned in this 100℉ heat, these little plants are thriving. Makes me wish I had room for a greenhouse in the backyard. Some day.
Got to spend some quality time in the pool. My girl is always on squirrel watch.
Reno and back in the same day. Left at 8am, and returned home at 6:30pm. Moved the boy into his new apartment unit. Installed a new shower head, unloaded two cars stuffed full of bins, and got to spend time with him. That made the trip worthwhile.
Living is packed with the boy’s things. Meanwhile, he’s living his best life in Lake Almanor.
