Here we are after a crazy spring we have made it to summer. With summer comes the thoughts of summer vacations. After the interesting time we had this spring there is no doubt we need to get away. We need a vacation from 2020.

Yes, I know people do call in sick when they really are not. I am not naive enough to think it doesn't happen. It may be even easier to do these days as you are working from home.It's easy to send a text saying I am just not feeling well today.

Does that seem like your life? It is mosquito season and you already know that you are going to be a hot mess of bites and bumps. You wear mosquito spray instead of perfume on a daily basis. You know that is just the way your life is going to go.

Whether you are single or a couple just looking for new date ideas there are some fun activities you should try. Maybe you want to get healthy and maybe even social distancing is a priority. Don't make all of this keep you from connecting as a couple.

Do you wake up and instinctively think you have to reach for the cup of coffee? If you don't you don't know how you can make it through the day. Maybe you are not pleasant to be around without it. Is caffeine that important to your day?

I don't know if you have seen the advertisements for all the meal kits you can have delivered here in Amarillo. I don't know if you have a family of four, two, or if it is just you. I am trying to eat healthy and lose a little bit more weight.

As you were growing up I know you have heard your mom tell you to eat breakfast. You can't leave for school without something in your stomach. You know to this day that she was right. Do you still find yourself skipping that most important meal though?

We are officially in the summer months. We officially hit that on Saturday.So with that people are getting outside a lot more. That is great! We need that after the spring we had. The sun can do some great things for you. It also can damage you.

Having a heart attack is probably low on your list of priorities. You want to avoid that health drama at all cost. Oh and you can increase your odds with a bit of exercise. We just have to do the work that is needed. That is where we kind of back off.

I know youth has its perks. You generally feel a lot better. Your health is there. Oh and the energy you young whipper snappers have. Am I right? You know what though, getting older is not all that bad. I mean it sure beats the alternative.

Sometimes it is those little wins in life that make us feel good about ourselves. Sometimes just as fast they can be ripped away and their goes that boost of confidence we once had.

A lot of people have been working from home for the past few months. We may see a start to returning to our normal offices. How does that sit with your pets? They have been used to having you home. Now you are being ripped away from them.
