June is my favorite month. Lots of good things happen in June.
June is when Summer officially begins. On June 21, 2015 at 12:38 p.m. it was Summer.
I was born in June which may be why I've always preferred warmer weather. I'm not a winter person. Why do I live in New England with snow and cold? I don't know. Maybe it's so I'll appreciate Summer.
June is M's an my anniversary - all three of them. We met, moved in together and got married on June 17. It kept things simple and we didn't have to remember a lot of different dates. This year, he was away on business on the 17th (it happens some times), so on the Sunday before, we booked a couple's massage at East Heaven and then went to dinner at East Side Grill where we renewed our relationship for another year. This process seems to work as we've been together now for 26 years - one year at a time.
And, as I mentioned above, June is my birthday. On our birthdays, M. and I take each other out to dinner, sometimes with friends. This year, we went to Chez Albert, where I splurged (it was my birthday, after all) and ordered escargots.
June is also the month when I was laid off from a job I liked very much and was plunged into a new adventure which, as it turns out, I'm also liking very much. June 30, 2010 was my (and everyone else's) last day at the Central Massachusetts Regional Library System. State finances mandated that the 6 Regional Library Systems merge into one. Interestingly, I'm now working at that one and enjoying my limited responsibilities as MassCat cataloger. When I worked for CMRLS, I told my supervisor that the one thing I missed in that job was cataloging and I would like to do more. I got my wish.
