Welp, I can drive. So that's a win.

Success! Gravity can't beat JenP!

We hosted my MiL over the last five days, and it was just lovely and convenient to have the garden apartment available for her.

She and Matilda spent a day poking around and shopping, and it turns out Nana likes riding buses for all the people watching opportunity.

I've got a friend pencilled in to visit in October, and I'm looking forward to doing more of that.

Our wings are not tired.

Yay for independent driving!

Read on the dock and enjoyed a really lovely quiet day.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Quiet day here. Paid some bills online, read some fanfic.

I saw that the temperature would be in the upper 70s/low 80s today, so I wanted to go out and take some photos. I got about two blocks before I was completely drenched in sweat, so I gave up.

It looks like the humidity will break later this week, thankfully.

Humidity is the worst.

I went camping all weekend—two friends went into Thursday night to try to get a spot and two of us joined them Friday mid-day. We didn’t really do much—played cards and had a fire and so on. We were going to use their inflatable kayak but when we tried realized they had the pump and the kayak but not the tube that goes between those things…oops. But the park was pretty and the campsite nice and it vaguely misted overnight but didn’t rain on us!

Thrive to spite them

Tom I wanted to sit outside some today, it wasn't hot but the humidity made it horrible and I gave up.

Although Scrappy the cat was lulled into a sense of lethargy this morning and actually let me pet him/cuddle hm in daylight.

I have spent most of the day partly asleep and partly upright. I haven't been very hungry but I just made myself go eat something since I'm not sure I ate enough today. I had soup for breakfast and some spaghetti for late lunch and then thought maybe my shaky weak feeling is more from not having enough calories although I don't feel hungry.

This is miserable. I have no idea how M's mother has been bopping along and acting normal. M is feeling better but the tv broke. We have another one but the power cord is missing and while it can be replaced no one has felt like dealing with a replacement. So M can't play video games and I've offered my desktop and steam account but it's not the same I've been told.

I realize today is Sunday and I'm going back to work on Wed. So tomorrow I really need to stay awake and move around and figure out what I can do or if I need to call the doctor back. the inhaler is working but I'm just really tired and after moving around too much I just want to collapse back into bed.

I should have done more to protect myself against Covid. Especially with everything that has happened.

It's a meara Monday, which is the very best kind of day! Sending the happiest of birthday wishes to meara. May it be a day filled with delights and may the year to come be the best year to date.

I hope you are feeling much better today, askye, but don't push it. Pace yourself.

Happy Birthday, meara!
