This post is from two days ago: Stardate 17 July, 2025 and the Trump minions are losing their minds because the house of cards that was Q-Anon is flattened by DJT’s handling of the Epstein files. More than 150 people are still missing in the Texas floods, it is hot everywhere and it rains and floods at least weekly, sometimes daily. People are being starved in Palestine and Netanyahu continues to order hits on food lines and camps. China is building a better army and better AI. We are the laughing stock of the world.  

Still a measure of will to get out of bed at 7 to walk, I wouldn’t say the walk was easier today, but I feel better after, weirdly.  Three day in a row and I am triumphant because, damn, who starts their fitness goal in July?  The heat is oppressive so as it eases, it can only get better.

Yesterday’s post: This morning’s walk [#4] was much easier!  Easier to get up, easier to walk, didn’t seem like it took so long and I actually enjoyed it.  So far, I notice less fatigue during the day, which I am attributing to my morning walks.  I am less likely to dread cooking supper and less likely feel like I need a lie down between 2 and 4 pm.  It’s frankly, amazing.  I also noticed more gratitude on my walk this morning.  Even though I rose and left earlier and it was my warmest morning yet [78 at 7am and muggy], I enjoyed the trees and flowers and was thankful for a shady and lovely neighborhood in which to walk. 

It was tough getting out of bed this morning at a little after 7 for a 7:30 walk and the walk was less fun than yesterday. It was already 75 degrees by to the time I got up and about 77 by the time I finished my walking. It does add energy to the top half of my day, but I continue to have a lag about 3-5. C came home at 5 and of course, had to go to Costco to get more cheese for her lunches. I did manage to make a list of things I need to do today and I accomplished at least five of them.

I am officially over summer. I don’t care if we have to go back to school/work, take me straight to September. Sigh, this heat and humidity is killing me. We are not living, we are struggling to exist. Our 100 year old house cannot be cooled by its six window units when it is this hot, so we are continually sweaty, exhausted, and grumpy.
