1. It’s a 3-day weekend—a much-needed 3-day weekend—after a very busy and emotional spring. It came, along with the threat of a sinus infection which I have felt pulsing in my face for several days. So the extra time for rest is much appreciated. Not having to set the alarm for work tomorrow is making me so very happy.
2. After complaining about the weather a lot, I feel like things have balanced out some. I mean, it’s Kansas City in the summer. It will always be hotter than I want. But it’s not at hot as it was. There’s been some rain. And right now, the temperature is close to normal. The humidity is annoying but not oppressive. Things are green. The sky is a bright blue. And it’s just been a good week and a good weekend of summer. If it stays like this, I may survive the season.
3. There is a popcorn shop not too far down the street, and my mother wanted me to stop in and get some popcorn for the group I work with. I chose a tin with a popcorn combination they call KC Tailgate. It’s BBQ, white cheddar, and caramel and cinnamon. They have really creative ingredient ideas, and they ship nationwide. Interested? It’s PopCulture KC, and popcorn fans should totally check it out.
