You may be wondering why I haven\u2019t been writing as much. I\u2019ve only uploaded two posts for July, and only one for August so far. There are a couple of reasons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
July was a big month for us, with a day trip to Nashville and a vacation along the Gulf Coast. We spent a lot of money, so we are partially staying home in order to plump our checking accounts back up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The county that we live in, and the county that I work in are both considered high risk counties for the rising COVID-19 cases, due to the delta variant. We want to be cautious, so we have started to wear our masks again. I see the data daily for work, and it seems like it\u2019s going to get a lot worse before it gets better. It makes sense to just stay home more often than not because of this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The weather has not been on our side either. It has been a rainy August, which has kept us inside more than we\u2019d like. When it\u2019s not raining, it is still excessively humid, which is uncomfortable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Also, I think in the future I need to slow down when it comes to planning summer activities. It seems silly but sometimes I forget that, though it feels like summer in May, it\u2019s still not technically summer until the end of June! I had a list of things I wanted to do this summer (camping, kayaking, Lookouts baseball game, etc.) and all of that was completed before July even started! There\u2019s honestly nothing that I want to do at the moment, that would be best enjoyed during the summer months. We have decided to not hike during the summer. Why be uncomfortable and need to carry twice as much water?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I\u2019ll be back to posting more regularly in the fall. We have plenty of activities planned!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
