strange state of mind

My mind has been a little weird lately. I try to sit, and gather my thoughts to be released in some type of clear, or at least semi-comprehensible way; only to be distracted, whiny, or irritable, or have a sudden on-set of ADD (my mind is just weird like that).

It's hard to accept that it's July already, and that the summer, as it is defined by school sessions, is over half gone. "Boo to that!" I say! Mayhap now I'll get some 'summer fun' in, since my hours at the park have been cut. But, it's better that than being without my good ol' park job!

Saturday we had our Fourth of July Festival here in the park. I love the festival ambiance, esp when I get to be in the background, or foreground, of things, working in an official capacity.

My accomplishments and adventures included

- making 4 clover flower necklaces and then passing them on to 4 very entranced little girls. They would come up to me with wide eyes and "Wow! How do you DO that?"
-controlling crowds of rowdy kids all eager to bounce to their hearts content inside an inflated bounce house
-creating grand balloon decorations
-being my generally friendly, helpful self

It was a great day despite being forced child control for the afternoon. We had a great fireworks show, and I got to play with my camera a bit. Molly and I cruised about in our golf cart, which has been long anticipated!

I'm feeling a bit introspective lately, but I'm not quite sure what to do with it. I've gotten out of the habit of journaling away my internal flights of fancy and dives into despair. There was a time when I couldn't go a day with writing pages in my un-lined journals. Ah well, something to explore in news ways!

How's all that for random bits? But then again, it's how my head it lately!
