I’m on my very first official sick day, ever… like in my life. According to the state of California, I get three paid sick days, and since I probably won’t use them for what they are intended.

So, on the rare occasion the stars align and I don’t have a client on my books, I’m going to take advantage.

Blog it is…

If the poor guy could have all the time back he spends waiting for me to take pictures…

Berry social at garden club…

I’ve been trying to pay attention to the signs the universe sends out. When I do something like spray myself in the face with the garden hose, I try to remember what I was thinking before. I can’t remember what I was thinking before I shattered this lid into a thousand pieces, but I took a picture for a reason…

Our 4th of July firework…

My one ear of corn that didn’t end up aphid food. It tasted like shit. Gardening in California is not what I’d hoped, but, I keep trying…

Taco cupcakes for my work husband…

And birthday dinner…

We’ve been exploring California as much as we can while we’re here. When we say, “we should do that” I go to work and figure out when I can get time off, and we make it happen…

You all should do the same, life is too short.

However, studying sometimes happens. But, it’s why we’re here…

Road food… We have the best luck finding random Taquerias with the most wonderful food. Screw traditional fast food.

I miss you…

Pismo Beach…

Pit stop study session on a Wynn friendly patio… and sangria.

One thing I actually managed to grow this year was tomatoes.

My one tiny tomatillo…

Tahoe with Peter…

We stayed at his “cabin”. It was a blast.

And hiked in his backyard…

Much needed time away.

Until next time, Loves…
