15 things I want to do this summer

Hey y'all, I need a little bit of a break, so please enjoy another listicle post.

  1. See a movie in the park. I almost went to see Wonder Woman, but then I was too tired. One day though!
  2. Get in the lake. I know the lake is probably pretty cold still, but it's also getting hot, so this should be good soon.
  3. Buy some new dresses. This will be a challenge, but I want some summery dresses that I could also wear to a job interview.
  4. Get a job. I know, I know, this isn't exactly a summery activity, but I really do want it.
  5. Go to St. Louis. I'm cheating a bit here because I'm already going (leaving on the 4th!).
  6. Get some new pen pals. Hint, hint, write me a letter.
  7. Hang out with my nephew. Again, cheating a bit because I already know I'm babysitting him soon, but still!
  8. Go to the zoo. I want to see some animals.
  9. Take puppy for a walk. I've had a few chance, but they haven't really worked out.
  10. Play around in makeup a bit more. One day I'll get good at it, I swear.
  11. Get rid of some stuff. I have too much stuff. I need to do a purge of it before I (at some point) move into my own apartment.
  12. Paint my nails. Summer is the fun time when you can actually show off a pedicure.
  13. Go to some kind of food festival. It doesn't have to exclusively be about food, but I want to go to one where there is food. This is one of the things that is great about Chicago in the summer, so many festivals.
  14. Get a Medici mocha. For those who don't know, this is coffee with ice cream in it.
  15. Get some ice cream. The best summer treat.
What are you looking forward to this summer?

I'm angry

I'm angry. And I don't (at the moment) want to be talked out of it. I struggle, often, with expressing or even just sitting with my emotions. I feel like even the photo I chose for this post was more reserved or toned down than how I feel.  But, this is my trying. I'm not going to time this post, just going to write until I feel done, whenever that may be. In this post, I'm going to focus on the anger I feel around my dad and my dad's death. Though, don't get me wrong, I'm also angry about a lot of things going on in my city, in my country, and in the world. My dad chose alcohol over me and my brother. There is no way around this fact. Yes, when I am less angry, I can be more reasonabl and recognize that addiction is a disesase and he didn't have control over it. But, right now, I want to be angry. I want to get to be angry. I want to get to feel my feelings. I don't want to rationalize, I don't want to be reasonable, I don't want to be fair....
