I have some time off coming up in October.

Definitely need it. September has been taxing to say the least.

Any plans to travel for a vacay?

No, they're just individual days and only one to extend a weekend. A couple are just to handle side jobs and medical stuff. But even just not having to come to the office a few days is a nice break.

True... gives less stress.

My job isn't even stressful. It just often leaves me feeling like my time would be better spent elsewhere...

Photographed an event tonight in a space downtown that hosts multiple varying ethnic restaurants side-by-side.

It's nice to have a variety of cultures welcomed into the city. It adds color, and life. Not to mention the amazing foods.

But you know eventually someone is going to ruin this good thing...

I just read a past post from one of my other social media from nine years ago about Brock Turner being paid to go on a speaking tour.

If you recall, Brock Turner is the man who while in college was accused of ra*ing a passed out woman behind a dumpster. Of course, he's white and came from a wealthy family so he was acquitted because "we wouldn't want to ruin the life of such a promising young man because of a silly ra*ping, would we?"

I commented that my disappointment levels about this nation couldn't sink any lower.

In retrospect, boy was I inaccurate in that assessment....

Rock bottom was hit long ago, but we just keep digging.

Just two days away....

Today is going to be one of the least productive Mondays in history....

Hopefully that means it is a relaxing and restful day!

Naps are wonderful things..... we fight to avoid them as children... and then fight to get them back as adults!

...and then we don't get to enjoy them consistently until we're old and running out of time.

Planning out my time off for the remainder of the year.

I have a lot to do. I wish I could take off twice as many days, so I need to use my time judiciously.

My labor day consisted of making rolling planting boxes for the greenhouse.

Two 50"x18" boxes that can be moved around with ease, even when filled with dirt. Will keep things flexible.

I got called "The Bald Jesus" for my carpentry skills this weekend.

I also put in 3 tower planters with 63 total planting pockets for herbs, and other greens that also can be moved around, rotated for more even sun coverage, etc.

Everything is an experiment.
