July 7

It has been a relaxing day, nothing melted down, got broke or anything worse. Ran some errands, got the oil changed in the car and ate supper out with my family. Summer just seems to set a different pace then any other time of the year. Maybe it’s because there doesn’t have to be an alarm clock going off before six-o’clock every morning, and then a mad rush to get out the door to school and work. There is something relaxing about just sitting by the pool and feeling the warm sun, almost therapeutic for me. I just love not having such a structured schedule. I am struggling this evening to stay focused on writing, my mind is flashing through all the things I need to get done. Oh, our dryer went out Tuesday evening and of course it had a load of wet towels in it. Hopefully it is a fuse, and nothing more. They just don’t make things like they use to. They used to base their reputation on how good their products were and the longevity of them, now they want you to replace them after a few years. It is so crazy how things just keep evolving. I am in hopes that tomorrow evening I will be more in tune with my writing. It reminds me of Diane Keaton in Something’s Gotta Give when she is at her beach house in a room full of windows and if I remember she has a view of the beach and ocean. She is an author in the movie and is there to get inspired and write. I think if I were looking out at the beach and ocean right now I would be inspired, but probably not to write.
