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.
