bjork gorillaz moby Summer continues to amaze me with some great weather and I took full advantage of it today by spending most of the day outside in the pool. The phrase fun in the sun makes sense to me now. Hours in the pool is exactly what I needed and I only suffered a very light amount of sunburn on my shoulders. My face came through unscathed. There were a few serious points in the day though. My uncle who was visiting from out of state gently chided me about not having bought a house yet. I was told that I need equity. Equity, equity, equity. Sigh. Okay. Yes, I don't want to rent forever, but I was not about to buy the house where I live now. On the other hand, I may not own a house, but I've been to Europe and Australia and my uncle hasn't been to either place. I don't regret my decision at all. Maybe buying a house will be my goal for next year. My uncle's advice to my brother was slightly different, but in some ways along the same wavelength. He told my brother that he needs to get married. I'm not sure how my brother responded to that comment. Even more serious news is that my grandpa celebrated his seventy-first birthday Sunday, but still remains in the hospital. My dad is not taking this well.
