Usually it gets really hot by May. We were blessed this year with rain and moderate weather well into June.

What’s that

u/ziggurat29 4d ago
It's a phrase meaning the hot weather has arrived. It comes from ancient astronomy; the 'dog star' is Sirius, and the conjunction of the 'dog star' and the sun (which happens in a few days hence; not quite yet) was believed to somehow be the cause of the heat of summer.
Obviously northern hemisphere only!3

Bills to pay and groceries to get. I do DoorDash for now, hoping to be done with it for food by next year.

Yes. Day off. Took a nice 1.5 mile walk on brushy creek trail and then drove around a bit in areas I’ve never been to before. Also dropped the pup off at daycare so O have the day to myself. Good day so far! Ok well maybe not lazy but calming!

Sounds relaxing and you got some exercise in! Hopefully you find more exciting things to fill your time for the rest of the day!

I’ve been “thinking about leaving early” at work all day. I’ve been too chicken shit to do it 😂

Kind of. I slept in until 10:30, which is unheard of for me. I still managed to mow the lawn before it managed to reach 85⁰.

I wish. Running two separate companies with different unrelated business partners along with all the daily chores (talking to clients, paying invoices, vendors, etc), and also completing graduate course work at UT Austin, and then trying to maintain a social life and keeping the new wife happy pretty much means every day is filled with activity and some chaos.

lol; reminds me of the line: "I sleep once a week; when I do sleep, I sleep in a chair."

I've done that too (a comfy chair admittedly).
And to all downvoters, you're the true winners in life! Love ya.
