Song of the day: “So far so good” by Bryan Adams, and so many others that I’m not even going to bother writing them all down. Seriously, my brain has been hopping from one theme song to the next every hour at the very least, and it has been bothering me to no end. Make up your friggin’ mind already! Jeez!

First thing’s first; I’m seriously contemplating shifting this whole blog thing around and only doing it once every three days, I know, that is like slacking, but every time I write for this it goes out of something else I should be doing. I’m not sure yet, but I am definitely playing with the idea.

Considering yesterday was just grocery shopping day (yep, just refer to any of the days involving the same thing, and you’ll get the general idea) and then watering the garden afterward, I’m not going to bore you with the details but see if I can scrounge up some sort of writing, or poem from my files and leave you with that.

I will add that today we harvest eight zucchinis. I’ve already eaten from them and they were bloody delicious. Okay, some page fill.

Oh yes, I read they at my book club and had a blast with them.
