Highlights of Life, Lately (And Lowlights for Balance, Body, and Dimension)

This is the most blog-y thing I've posted so far but whatever.

1. Alaska Trip
Highlights: Saw Fairbanks, Denali (SO COOL) and Kenai/Homer/Kasilof. Saw moose, caribou, pika, sheep, huge mountains, ocean. Went river fishing. Got drunk in the airport.
Lowlight: I want to go back. There's nothing beautiful here.

2. It's definitely summer
Highlights: The weather is aaaawwwesome. I'm never cold. I want to go swimming. I want to be outside all the time. The sun makes me feel like my life is golden.
Lowlight: I live with someone who cannot handle the heat. Who cannot, in 75+ temperatures, do much but sit directly underneath the ceiling fan and drink iced water. So I lay outside in the grass by myself a lot.

3. My mom is in town
Highlights: This must be sort of what it feels like to have a friend.
Lowlight: She left yesterday.

4. Legal weed stores
Highlights: This is totally historic stuff. The shop that's closer to my house, New Vansterdam, is really really cool. The people who work there are so kind and hip. The tables and display cases are very classy.
Lowlight(s): The product is expensive and stoner-y activities lately have been leaving me anxious, paranoid, and adrift in a confusing haze of intense self-loathing. Plus the whole federal/state disharmony is a little troublesome.

5. I'm back on Twitter
Highlights: Majorly improved quality of life.
Lowlight: My productivity at work is at an all-time low.

6. I've been at my current place of work for one year
Highlights: It went fast. I wouldn't feel bad quitting now.
Lowlights: I still don't know how to do anything and I probably won't find work anywhere else

7. 1.5 months until Labor Day
Highlights: I'M GOING TO VISIT JUNEAU I CAN'T WAIT I CAN'T WAIT.
Lowlight: The time between now and then is going to drag.

8. Mildly improved budgeting skills
Highlights: Slightly more money.
Lowlight: It's really really un-fun. I want like, five new bathing suits just because I told myself I can't buy them. I also want more ice cream.
