I'm Riding June Karal Style. It Was an Executive Decision in Preparation of July/August Crazy. If You Can Nap. Nap. Let There Be Rest

I haven't had a June off ever. I always said a summer school or taught over sees or picked up a graduate course or two. Ah, but my contract doesn't require it, there's no need to bring in extra income, and I simply wanted to focus on the house, slowing down, and rest. I've been good at thus far, although it's tricky for me. I mean, I fell asleep on my couch porch while reading in the afternoon and woke up with both dogs lying on me...one at my feet and the other at my head. 

I also caught Karal sleeping in this position today, and had to snap a photo. Looks comfortable. Get the ZZZZ's where you can (Bucky is getting them, snoring, and he falls back to sleep on my lap. He has a cut on his eye, which I'm sure came form many of the wrestling matches Karal and him have had. I don't think I've had a snoring dog before...he actually fell asleep when I left Pam's after dinner...I wanted her to meet him before her new puppy arrives tomorrow.

I also visited with Jessica B. for a while and delivered more gifts for the twins, Elijah and Aliyah. They've gotten so big but aren't into posting photos online (which I think is a smart decision). Little Jess and Little Will they are. And they're huge. They already stretch half the size of Jessica, and they are in the chunky leg portion of their development. So many adorable rolls. 

Forecast is for rain today, so we'll see if they are correct. We got a great hike in yesterday, but the humidity soaked us to the bone. I know some of June is the forecast for July and August, and it should turn back to cooler temperature without humidity soon, I hope. I do like a few decent summer days without feeling like you're living in a swamp. 

Happy Saturday. Hoping for more rest.
