Hey, first day of summer- you’re already treating me so grand and it’s only noon. Dozed on and off until eleven, finally woke to a lawn mower and not looking forward to having to be to work in another hour. Checked my phone to have a text message from my co-worker asking to back it up until three, so I braided my hair back (I haven’t been able to braid my hair my entire life, but a few days ago I magically became a professional), threw on my new jeans to run up to Walgreens for them to be playing Boston by Augustana and go to my childhood doughnut store that I thought’d be closed by eleven thirty (but they weren’t) for a “doughnut man”. 

Now I’ve got a doughnut man, Ida Maria, and a good two and a half hours to get laundry and chores done before going to work with my favorite co-workers. Lovelovelove.
