I've been reading about the Texas floods and it's so horrible.ive alas watched some meteorologists on social media and a few have said that the National weather service gave accurate predictions and warnings but they can only do so much. Mandatory evacuation orders need to come from the local authorities and there were failures on that level.
It also seems that Texas has been told they needed better sensors and early alert systems but they hadn't added anything.
I hate this year.
I also have doctor's appointments on the 22nd and 23rd. Didn't realize I had scheduled them like that. One is with my regular doctor to follow up with all my test results that are normal and to ask what is next. I've had continual health issues since March. There is something going on is it related to perimenopause? Is it an autoimmune disorder? Do I have peripheral neuropathy at this point?
Despite all of this my anxiety has been almost non existent. Which is really good. And I'm getting back to doing more art/creative play and reading more. And I keep getting physically stronger. Although I really need to add some exercise to the areas that don't get used everyday at work .
Sounds like a fun weekend, meara!
Askye, great that you're feeling like doing the creative stuff and feeling stronger. I fell out of swimming and reading lately, so I really want to get back to both.
Today is another get shit done day, so... fold/put away rest of laundry and focus on job search for Jen stuff. Oh, and change the cat litter. And either go swimming or read for an hour. Baby steps.

Yup, I've been seeing the same. The NWS warnings were clear and specific, but local Texas authorities didn't react until 7-8 hours later. And of course, gutting FEMA hasn't helped.

Go team swimming readers!
Looking out my window and the skies are milky white with fog. After several summers with minimal fog we've been socked in since June. I do prefer the blue sky days, but I have to say it's been good for my sweater and scarf game.
I found this cool small company from Portland, ME called Heading Prints, and they base all their scarves on vintage book designs.
For example: [link]
They also have cool scarf rings and bandanas. The only negative is that they do small runs and they sell out very quickly. But they're beautifully made.
I got this bandana just because it is JZ's favorite visual theme - a girl reading a book: [link]
Back to Pilates this morning after a week off (summer break for them to maintain all the machines). Pretty sure I've lost my entire core.
So a little health ~ma for my dad.
He had his yearly colonoscopy and had complications last year and again this year where about 3 weeks after the procedure he starts bleeding. He was in the hospital and they said it was fixed and released him. But he just has gone back to the hospital because was feeling weak and out of breath. He had called his doctor who said he was released too soon so a friend is taking him back
I hate being so far away.
