Are you there blogging world? It’s me, Mimi.
I’m alive and doing okay.
I’ve been trying to get back into the vibe of posting for sooo long…
I wrote this last month.
– JULY 1 – WEDNESDAY
Wordless Wednesday
– JULY 2 – THURSDAY
Dear July, don’t be an asshole.
This is my wish for July.
And August.
And September, October, November, and December.
And please oh please to the powers that be…
Let 2021 be the dullest, most boring, humdrum, ordinary, uninteresting, tedious, commonplace, monotonous, routine, prosaic year ever!
Except for that part where I win the lottery.
– JULY 3 – FRIDAY
I’m with you John…
– JULY 4 – SATURDAY
Sooo… This happened…
My son and his boyfriend got engaged at Lake Michigan today and I am over the moon for them! And for me! And for the whole family! They are such good, kind, and hysterically funny people.
Oh, and this happened too!
Both events cause for fireworks!
Both signs of freedom.
– JULY 5 – SUNDAY
– JULY 6 – MONDAY
Happy Birthday to my 1st born!!!
Somehow my oldest boy will always be my baby boy…
So proud of the man he has become.
❤ JULY 7 ❤ TUESDAY❤
❤ And then the rest of the month was just the rest of the month…
Plus or minus a few hundred tears and a few broken hearts.
– AUGUST 1 – SATURDAY
Our cups runneth over…
And so, here we are. August 2020.
But just your heart because I’m pretty sure singing with your mouth is no longer allowed.
We’re in the middle of some heatwaves out here but not many wildfires so that’s a bonus.
I’m definitely ready for some cooler temps but the sunshine can stay as long as it wants.
I wish it was the medicine to make this Covid crap go away!
Super, super done with this whole mess.
The virus, the politics, masks, no masks, rioting, and just all of the hatefulness…
There’s no way I can catch up on a month’s worth of blog post readings but I’m definitely going to do what I can.
When I drop out of the blogging world I really drop out of the blogging world and I always miss you guys so much.
I hope you’re all doing well. Surviving the heat and the virus.
I’m doing okay.
Missing my lit’l Luci. I swear I see her and hear her all the time. Sometimes it feels like she’s still sleeping with me.
It’s moments like those that turn me into a puddle of tears… I miss her so much. ❤
Anyway, Happy August. Stay safe.
MIMI’S QUOTE FOR THE DAY –
Magical Mystical Mimi 
I’m sorry about the loss of your baby. I know she was most precious to you. I so know the pain. It’s been almost five years since the loss of your Little Bit and I still have crying binges.
My July was like, June, May and April. Mostly boring.
Have a fabulous day and weekend, Karen. Big hug. ♥

Nice to see you back, however briefly that may be. I’m still hanging in there, but blogging so rarely now. I’ve got a whole big case of “Can’t be bothered” going on. And that’s with anything, not just blogging. Mostly I’m just scared. I have so many friends and some family, living where the virus is rampaging.

Oh River, I do so know your fear. I have family in some of the hot spots and my cousin is just now bouncing back from Covid, which, is not only great news it’s encouraging news. Covid can be beaten. – Your “can’t be bothered” attitude is also very familiar to me and struggle with it daily and that “can’t be bothered” place is one you have to walk out of in baby steps. Big hugs to you River. ❤

Happy August! I’m with you on hoping that 2021 will be the dullest, most ordinary year ever. 2020 has just been too much and it’s only half over! My sister’s birthday is July 4th and I had plans to drive from Maryland to New Jersey to spend a long weekend celebrating with her, maybe go to the Jersey Shore, but because of the darned virus, there was no way I could do that this year. I’ve had trouble motivating myself this summer. I’ve done much less gardening compared to other years.
Congrats to your son and his boyfriend on their engagement! I wish them much happiness. Happy Birthday to your first born son (love that pic with your adorable granddaughter!).
I was so very sorry to hear about your sweet Luci. Sending the biggest of hugs to you! I can truly understand. Over the years, I’ve had three pups cross over to the Rainbow Bridge and I still miss all of them! ❤
Mimi’s quote for the day is very poignant. Stay safe, my friend! 🙂

Oh rats. I’m sorry you missed your celebration with your sister and the opportunity to “lose” your husband along your travels. People fall out of moving vehicles all the time… 🙂 I know you’re laughing at that. – I think a lot of people are finding themselves less motivated these days it’s just such a weird time and I am soooo ready for a normal year next year. – Fingers, eyes and toes all crossed… Also. I don’t know how your heart made it thru 3 pups crossing the bridge. My heart is shredded…
