July 1. At one point in this work day, I went into the bathroom, turned out the light, and just sat with my eyes closed. We ran, we sprinted, we cleaned, we sat in front of the computer with our hands on our head...it was horrid. Finally it all ended on a high note and I couldn't clock out fast enough. All day long I kept thinking that I was forgetting something. I did all of the end of the month reports, taxes, Lost and Found...dealt with the ohsoveryhorrible reunion clan that was there...tried to get a toilet fixed, tried to get a light fixed.....and then it hit me as I went next door to eat dinner. My daddy has been dead for 4 years. I remembered it several times last week, how I need to go to the cemetery, but when the day came, I just couldn't. Instead I sat in the restaurant and boo-hoo'd. My sister wrote a very nice status about it, so I didn't put anything. I just want him back. Not sick. I want to sit in a room with him and not say a word. I want him to know he has a granddaughter. I want him to know that we're all doing alright. July 2. Not much ado. Went to work, went to see the fam, Lily gave me hugs and kisses (for the first time ever), and I sat at home complaining about how hot it is inside. 78 degrees, with the a/c and fans blasting. We drove to Leesville to pig out on Arby's and watched the NASCAR race. AND GUESS WHO WON!!! That's right. Brad Keselowski. July 3. Meh. I woke up pretty sure I had dysentery. I showered. Felt worse. Skipped church, and just laid in the chair until almost dark. You wish you lived with me. July 4 Happy Independence Day!!!! also known as.... Happy Time-and-a-half Day!!!!!! She really does love me there in the background. When I got home from work, Scott was outside grilling. There was something in that chicken, we were both out within 30 minutes. Lily of course stole the show. I do believe he and I are meant to be. July 5. My work day summed up. July 6. I did an actual dance in the office today.....LOOK WHAT'S COMING BELOW!!! July 7. I have never gotten political. I don't know or care enough about it to have an opinion. Some say it's my duty and it's what grown ups do. I don't care. I'd rather sit at home, in my bubble and watch Dawson's Creek. I don't get involved in certain matters. My opinions are usually unpopular, so I keep to myself. I don't know why a man was murdered in Baton Rouge, and I don't know why someone chose to kill cops in Dallas. What I do know is, people need to be smarter than this. I can just pray that my family and loved ones are kept safe. My peace: Take the perfect selfie with your BFF: Share all of the super important information: Take your dog for a ride: And teach your kids right and wrong. Give them some love. We can only pray for next week. I believe it will be better.
