I think all my artistic/creative impulses are currently getting yoinked sideways into staging apartments (it takes skill to make them look good, okay? I have gotten so much better at it over the past two and a half years!) and then taking photos and shooting video tours, to say nothing of the subsequent photo editing process.
On the one hand, hey, at least I am being creative at something? But on the other, I'd really like to get a solid day or two of writing, or even just make some more progress on my paint-by-numbers kit or a cross-stitch kit. *sigh*
Hmm, what else...
Tompkins County has been in a mild state of drought for a couple weeks, but we had rain yesterday and today, so that should help a little. Unfortunately it was torrential thunderstorms both times, rather than a gentle day-long fall, so a lot of the water will just run off rather than soak in to replenish our groundwater levels.
I have tied up my peppers to prevent them from getting knocked over by storms. They are doing well, and a couple have set buds. My two surviving zucchini are also growing exuberantly, though as yet I have no fruit to harvest.
And honestly, I think I will go fall into bed soon, because I have been wiped out this whole week from hauling staging materials around in godawful heat and humidity. My feet in particular are very near to staging a mutiny, and I would like to head that off. *wry*
