So, June is here. It's summer. What's happening?

[romana]

Alright, summer has arrived.  Who is into what mayhem?  Running around naked?  Planting a garden?  Chugging koolaid?  Chasing the ice cream truck?

I'm currently in vampire (no sunlight) mode because of the antibiotic I'm taking.  No pool time for me for a couple of weeks.  This sucks.

[The_annoying_one]

I’ve been up to absolutely nothing today. I am going on a week-long vacation to Tennessee in mid-July, so I’m excited about that.

[André Toulon]

Sorry but no one does these things anymore. While I would love to break out the slip and slide and roll the grill out, people would show up for a plate and get in their cars to leave after what they consider ample time to stick around for free food.

This world is honestly built for my new found reclusiveness but it really sucks that I almost have to pay a cover charge just so my kids can play with other kids outside ..so damn annoying.

[[classic swim]]

More swamp ass weather.

And I’m probably in no position to have any vacation. I’ll have to work like a dog for the rest of the year.

I'm all in for reclusiveness.  Around here, kids still get together for stuff, at least to go hang at the pool.  Sorry this is sucking.  *mommahugs*

Technically, I don't have vacation from my part-time job, but I'm retiring soon, so there's hope.  I can't deal with the hot weather, though.  It can literally kill me.

[Raptorpat]

Currently just very sweaty. Work lets up in a week or two, then maybe we'll figure out how to enjoy summer.

[stilgar]

I mean, it is a little late to start planting a garden.

[tsar4]

Waiting for Spring to actually end.

Yes to all of those except kool-aid.

Wow, congratulations!  🎉  That’s awesome news.  I wish I could retire but I have like 20 years to go. 😂🥹

Oh I forgot to respond. 

I’m going to renew my passport so I can at least have the *option* of traveling abroad. 

Other than that, no vacations but going to try to catch up on things.  Hopefully try some new things and see some new places on the weekends.    

[Insipid]

I'm trying to lose more weight this summer. Happy with my progress since March.

[discolé monade]

i got nothing, other than the way you presented this thread, this was what summer sounded like when there was an ice cream truck to chase.

[The_annoying_one]

I just want to state, for the record, that I haven’t actually seen an ice cream truck probably since I was a kid.

Dammit, now I’m a little sad. 

[Rogue_Alphonse]

Running around naked?! i'm in.

 

In all honesty though... camping and fishing. And just generally being outside for whatever. I do a lot.

[1pooh4u]

I’m in the process of killing some plants. I’ll be going up to P-Town in a few weeks. I’m almost positive that the plants will be completely dead when I come back.

If it makes you feel better, I kill plants even when I’m trying to take care of them. 

[Gemini]

I choose to go for a walk this morning before vacuuming the house and making a pitcher of sweet tea. Now I'm just relaxing watching Doctor Who and posting on here.

I def have a black thumb.  Cacti and succulents die in my care.

Fun fact: If you garden naked in your backyard, your neighbors will build a privacy fence for you.

And those are hard to kill, believe me. I know 😆

Sounds like rl experience talking 😆

[katt_goddess]

Trying to get all the things I want done done in time for the con. 1 project completed, 1 in definite progress, 1 cluttering up my keyboard in an attempt to convince me to work on it, 2 in mental planning/research stages [ since 1 doesn't even exist-exist, I have to also build the things to make the things ]. 

Also, lots of hiding from the sun because fire BAD.

My mom is coming to stay with me for a week. This is the first time she's ever visited and I'm really excited. I'm going to cook for her and then we'll see a Broadway play.

I'm also going to try to start an indoor garden, the seeds just arrived.

We're also planning on going to two different ren faires because we're nerds.

That's great! What play are you two going to see?

[Lynnrael]

i have no real special plans for the summer but i do want to get outside and enjoy the scenery. i moved out of the desert and it'll be nice to enjoy a summer with actual forests and green stuff. 

mostly i just want to get in shape. going to two concerts this fall and i wanna look good >.>

[Heshi]

Been sweating my tits off, which is rather lame since I liek my tits.

[nameraka]

It's 68 degrees. 

I'm not complaining, but damn.

I want to get in shape too, my friend wants to go hiking and I don't think she can carry me up a mountain. 😅

Have any idea what kind of workout routine you'll start with?

I got a gym membership that i feel obligated to use because i don't want to go through the hassel of canceling it so I've been going to do cardio semi regularly. i want to start resistance training soon too. so far all I've been doing is having an edible and running until the runners high blends into the edible high, which is fun but i haven't lost any weight >.< i think a more regular resistance training plan might help but I'm genuinely not sure where to start.

Serious question: Does the edible high ever give you the munchies?

sometimes, kinda, but it's hard for me to tell because thanks to adhd i already either eat like i have the munchies, or have zero desire to eat anything at all regardless of whether or not I'm high. weed doesn't really change my appetite unless my tummy hurts and that's why i don't feel like eating

[viperxmns]

I wanna be running around naked but the world is burning instead

[Gemini]

My mom has a colonoscopy scheduled a week from tomorrow. It's the first one she's had in fifteen years. All this after she had a health scare back in April.

I know the things I've experienced in my life may not be the same as others on here and I understand some people may not have the best relationships with their respective familes. Still, I must say this: If you still have your parents, do not take them for granted, even if they may drive you up the wall and frustrate you to no end. As many of you know, I lost my dad six years ago and I to this very day would give anything to have him back. Cherish your friends and loved ones; make amends with them for nobody is promised tomorrow.

Sorry. Just had to say that.

As someone who lost both of his parents very close together within the past year, I wholeheartedly endorse this statement. As some of you may know, this is a pain that never truly goes away. And here I go tearing up as I type this.....
