Summer is in full swing, particularly the heat. Here in the D.C. metro area, it’s been sweltering lately, another sign we are in the throes of summer.

Even though I’m working steadily, I have been able to enjoy a few breaks for the typical summer things. I spent a week at the beach in June, enjoying relaxation in the sun. It’s a nice trip because my in-laws are there, as well, and they entertain the children (the ones who amazingly are never bored in the presence of extended family; if I didn’t know any better, I would think I inspired boredom).

I’ve also gotten a chance to see some movies. Really enjoyed Yesterday, Toy Story 4, Spiderman: Far From Home, and Shaft. I saw a couple of the other big blockbusters but didn’t enjoy them, so they’ll remain nameless.

I’m also getting a little reading done. Finishing Michelle Obama’s Becoming and going to start a book my daughter bought, but she’s going to lend me: The Girl Who Could Move Sh*t with Her Mind (Gotta give the author points for title creativity).

We’ve still got half the summer left, and I’ve got a little travel coming up (boo to flying, but I should get to see John Legend perform, so yay to that!).

How is your summer coming along? Anything exciting happening?
