And suddenly, it was August.

MONDAY

Early morning accidental pocket dial resulting in FACE TIME with someone (me) who sleeps in the buff OH DEAR GOD.

TUESDAY

So much erranding lately. Today was the oh so very far away camera shop to see if they could fix my non-focusing wireless shutter remote situation. They could not. Had to order a new one to the tune of $171. Not Amused.

WEDNESDAY

Dinner with friend. We ranted about relationships and men. We both think we are the most interesting topics of conversation, so as long as we keep taking turns, it works 🙂 Plus, blue coconutty alcohol. Do you know Sophie’s Choice?

THURSDAY

Pre-surgical testing for next week’s thing (#areyouhereforthething?). Made me put on the gown (from hell) made for a 12-year-old boy and sit in it awkwardly for 15 minutes before realizing I did NOT need an ekg so need for micro-gown.

FRIDAY

Friday.

SATURDAY

Oh, what a lovely day! Mid-70s, no humidity. A friend and I headed out east early to a new garden in Mattituck called Landcraft Garden. WHAT A DELIGHT. Four acres that have been owned and designed and tended by two designers (one interior, the other landscape). They have a wholesale tropical annuals business and initially created the garden as a showcase for their plant material. And then it grew and grew and now it is just room after room of peaceful spaces, beautifully combined plantings, idyllic seating areas (we may or may not have monopolized a bench swing in the shade for an hour while getting looks from passersby who wanted their own turn).

More pictures in an upcoming post.

SUNDAY

Annnnnd all productivity came to a crashing halt. Ha.

MONDAY

Back to work but it’s just a two-day week for me.

Highlight #1: The Car Wash.

Highlight #2: Covid test #3 via spitting in a tube. A lot.

Oh, what a time to be alive.

TUESDAY

Shopping for “I don’t feel good” food for tomorrow. English muffins, rice pudding, chicken noodle soup.

WEDNESDAY

Lithotripsy Day.

Lithotripsy: laser jackhammer that breaks up kidney stones.

Early morning drive to city hospital (thank you, SWSRN, for getting up pre-dawn to drive me cuz it’s one of those procedures where they won’t let you leave under your own power). Time “mix up” (?) of like six hours but we just played dumb (#notastretch) and they took me at the original time.

Had to do the usual fight with doctor for ACTUAL pain meds (#TYLENOLISAJOKE). Then he thought he was being slick by giving me half-strength prescription. Ha ha, foolish man. I just take three at a time then. AND THAT BARELY TOUCHES ME. In my next life I want to come back as one of those people who goes, “ohh, only give me a quarter of the pill or it will knock me out for three days.” Sigh.

THURSDAY FRIDAY SATURDAY SUNDAY

These four days were just a blur of discomfort and incessant peeing.

Highlights were:

  • Painful Peeing All The Time
  • So much sofa time and so many k-dramas
  • Finally getting my new intervalometer from the camera store AND take out Korean food that lasted me the next three days thank god cuz who can think about shopping cooking washing dishes anything
  • Anesthesia and pain-killer-related constipation OH LIFE IS JUST A BOWL OF CHERRIES
  • Plumbing issues (see above)
  • THE REALIZATION THAT I HAVE TO PULL THIS TORTURE DEVICE STENT OUT BY MYSELF I CAN’T I CAN’T
  • Lots of sloppy dressing

I guess that’s it. I’m contemplating (and by contemplating I mean trying to convince my stubborn self) taking August off from blogging. Well, I’d still do the weekly OOTD post cuz I’m already filming the outfits for TikTok…and MAYBE week in review, although…SINCERE QUESTION, GUYS, are these boring now when I’m really not doing ANYTHING? Or are they still A Delight because of my childlike wonder with the world, creative photography, and legendary story-telling ability HA HA HA HA HA?!

I couldn’t even type that with a straight face.

Seriously though, let me know.
