My Creative Mind

Thinking Is Hard

My creative mind has come to a standstill. What do I write about? What trips my trigger? This will be a post about whatever I want it to be about. I’ll skip around and bounce back and forth until I have heads spinning. There are many topics to choose from. Maybe it is the time of night. It is 9:30 pm. Gary and I just came home from watching Mission Impossible. The dead reckoning part 1. So, we all know there will be a part 2.  Smart move. It was a 2 ½ hour long movie but it was packed with action. The entire movie kept me on the edge of my seat, and I can understand why it is grossing millions at the box office. Tom Cruise doesn’t disappoint. Say what you want about his personal life, but his movies are phenomenal.

Weather

It’s August now and the weather is hot. I’ll take what I can get because all too soon it will be 40 below with snow covering the ground. Trying not to think about Winter is something I do regularly. 

It's a Church

Gary found out today that we are getting neighbors but not the neighbors we were thinking about. The place being built next to us will be a church. Both Gary and I think that is a way better idea than someone building a house and a family moving in next door. (not that we don't like people) But we live in the country for a reason. At the very least we’ll have to put up with Sundays and church goers. Gary says we will have to start attending, but I am sure that will not happen. We have our own beliefs, going to church is not one of them. We both believe in God but believe in speaking to him on our own time. So, win, win for us with really not getting new neighbors.

Oh Heidi

My friend Heidi and I do breakfasts once a month. It is almost the end of August, and I haven’t heard from her. She must be extremely busy because she hasn’t even answered my texts. 

Snow Ugh

Soon lawn mowing will be done, and it will be time to shovel snow. If it were up to me, I’d mow the lawn all year round. Shoveling snow is overrated. Winter is overrated also. Piling on too many layers of clothes, shoving my feet into boots. Putting on mittens, hats, and scarfs. The thought of it discourages me in the worst way.

The Next Day

It is now almost 7 am, our windows are fogged up because of the heat outside. It’s going to be in the 90’s today. I don’t mind it but then again, I’m not working. My son roofs and that is one place that will be extremely uncomfortable today. My run will have to be early. Right now, it’s still outside, no wind. I'll take the heat any day over the cold weather. I do not complain about it. Instead, I run in it.

Leave Your Pets Home

All animals will be hot today. So, take into consideration their fur and keep them in a cool place. Not the car. If you’re heading uptown, leave your dog at home. Normally I worry about dogs in the wintertime. But heat is just as bad for them. They quickly become overheated in a vehicle. It doesn’t take long before they are suffering, and the heat can also cause death. So, take precautions please.

I Despise Bugs

If anyone has rose bushes, do you also have those pesky Japanese beetles? If you zoom in on the above photo you will see the Japanese beetles in the pail. They drive me insane. I’ve tried different products and they do not work. The only one that gives me results is the dawn dish soap remedy. Therefore, I am out there picking the dang things off my roses. They are relentless, it seems the more I kill the more reappear. They attack my rose buds before they are open. Burrowing down deep and destroying the bud. I’m outside at the very least five times a day picking them off my three rose bushes. They eat the leaf of the bush also; nothing escapes their bottomless appetites. Are we doomed to having these bugs reappear every summer now? If so, I may go slightly mad.

Job Interview

Monday is my job interview. One I’m most likely not going to accept. It is in a border town. A sales job rep. They want me to work too many hours and go door to door. I’m not shy so I wouldn’t mind that, but the pay isn’t great. They do have a vehicle I will drive so no wear and tear on my own car. I’m thinking back to the drawing board and looking for a job in town. Something will come up. I have faith.

Gary is watching some dumb movie on Netflix. So, I may as well join him. Adios for now.
