Obvious novices at this whole good-weather thing

Monday. Wet and cloudy, again.  I'm not sure which is really the most-typical sort of Monday weather for our part of the world.  It feels like Mondays are always wet and cloudy, but since most days have been wet and cloudy for the past several months, all days feel that way.  On the other hand, the standing PNW weather joke/comment is that we get rain on the weekends and Monday taunts us with all the warmth and sunshine withheld from the weekend.  Today is definitely the former.

We had one glorious day of feels-like-late-spring weather this weekend.  Cars got washed, yards got trimmed up, gardening got done, and people dug out sunglasses and sunscreen.  It was only the one day, which makes us all look a little foolish for our headfirst dive into summerishness, a little over-eager.  We're such obvious novices at this whole good-weather thing.  Looks like we'll get another long while to think about how we want to approach the next nice day.

No posts last week, after Monday.  M. was out of town for the week so I slid into the office a wee bit later than usual in order to minimize the number of hours the boyx had to go without a break during the day.  Their legs are a bit on the short side, so it's hard for them to cross them for too long.  By the time I did come in, there was no early morning quiet in the office after the commute, so no chance to record my playlist and finite musings.  There were some dandy playlist, though. 

That made wanting to do this morning's post surprisingly hard.  While I have set myself a personal goal of making it through one full year of recording the morning playlists, a week off left me questioning why I'm pushing for that particular goal.  It is as arbitrary a date as any I could have set.  There will be no fanfare or recognition for making it.  Maybe a little satisfaction, but probably like the old joke, to paraphrase: meeting this goal is like peeing your pants in a dark suit; it gives you a warm feeling but nobody notices.  My commitment to this particular project is fading.
