So far all the critters are tolerating the heat although the cats are leaving some of their food which is unusual. I am surviving in the house with the 2 room air conditioners.
I went to church this morning for the first time since they reopened. Everyone wore masks we were all distanced. I really miss choir but it was nice to see and hear Jim, our organist in person again.
Everyone take care Sue in WA3 -

Listening to "The Minimal Guys" podcast today. Its interesting. How to Love people and use things, (not the other way around). How we want what we want, just because society tells us we should want it. How as humans its inherent to look to others for what we desire. Even to the point of desiring the opposite. Minimalism isn't just getting rid of stuff. Sure the action is freeing, but the ridding of stuff doesn't make us happy. It just clears the deck, and is a good base to figure out the real things we desire to fill our lives with. I want to lose weight. My whys are because physically its nice to move around the world easier. How I relate to my husband is easier, not to have belly fat to inhibit, and make me feel self conscious. So then I remember when I was the slimmest I have ever been. My happiness was at an all-time low. My self esteem was non existent. I think what's important for me to always remember is that my relationship with food and my body is healthier now. I am not that person who would go from one fast food joint to another buying crap, then going home to consume it. I was filling a void, and my hunger wasn't food. It was connections. It was a marriage that wasn't fulfilling. So my relationship is in good standing (✓), and there are things about myself I love, (and parts not so much), but that's ok. Our relationship with money is healthier. Gone are the $20 shopping runs buying the most I could buy to make whatever. Now I buy the slice of pie or cake because I want it. What I don't want is half a pie or cake in the frig. I can fast because I know the next day my body will have processed some cells, recycled and used for fuel, and my next meal will keep that process going. I know that feeding it crap just makes me feel crappy. So making a good meal isn't just food for thought, but its a form of respecting myself. And that my ladies, feels good. Empowering. Just another day knowing I am making time for my wellness, so later on I won't be forced to make time for my illness.💖👍
Have a great Sunday!

Allie - I hope you stay safe and healthy. We have had two Covid cases at work with fully vaccinated people now. They survived, but it took a lot out of them.
I have been reading along nightly but haven’t had the energy to comment a lot.
I had an emotional week. My cousin who is also one of my best friends has decided to cut me out of her life. She is struggling right now and I know she has also cut three siblings off. I hope that this is temporary and she gets the help she so desperately needs but I fear she will cut her husband out soon. She is the one who attempted suicide in January.
We are also suffering with the heat here. It is 29C this afternoon, 84.2F. I know not as hot as some of you, but it’s supposed to be those temps Tuesday and Wednesday. I am currently watering the lawn and enjoying the water sprinkle over my feet.8 -
Pip— I love the music! Such fun. 😁❤️1

So sorry Tracey. Unfortunately, you can't do it for her. She has to want to get help.
Try to concentrate on your own well being. I know it's hard, but you are not responsible for her happiness.
Love and best wishes, Heather UK xxxxxxxx1 -
Back home and in my jammies..
Like i said just hung with the family and didnt walk around that much..
Found out Don was doubly vaccinated but chose to drink 3/4 of a fifth of booze nightly and that did the damage and basically reversed the vaccine..so very sad and such a talented musician.. alot of people were there which was nice but they mingled and came and went ..
Alfie had a nice time and Elena and Tom got me a couple of potted ppants for my birthday which i thought was very sweet,here is hoping i can keep them alive..2 -

You can log exercise. Click the Exercise link and select Walking ... but you'll need to know the time you took to walk those steps.

Did Cool It Off DVD today (stretching) then went for a walk. Work tomorrow so no formal exercise
Cloudy today but, fortunately, not raining. Hopefully, it’ll stay that way and I can go for my walk later today.
Dawn – welcome!
It was beautiful outside but I was waiting for Vince to go outside. He finally told me that he didn’t think he was going to go to WalMart, so I went in the pool. Water was 87. Refreshing. Tonight I’ll probably go for a walk and then clean the spa then put my feet in it while playing mahjongg online. Update: Did this
Speaking of the mahjongg, remember how I told you that they’d voted to play in person? Well, I did send an email to the gal and asked why she and one other couldn’t take their laptops/tablets to the gals’ house where they play and they can play in person but the gal who has a place in the mountains and I can also play? I just heard back from her that the gal whose house they play at is trying to figure out her wi-fi password (??). I guess this means we play. I did ask her to let me know if the gal gets it figured out. Update: they will. I'll take my laptop out by the pool (on the upper patio where there is electricity and lights. That is, assuming the weather is nice. They're calling for nice weather so far)
Made a chocolate cake for Vince. Just added some water to confectioners sugar for icing. I really want as little as possible in my freezer since the corn will be coming in soon and I want room for it. I know that if I make icing, there’ll be leftovers
katla – how long do you go before you feed your sourdough starter? Do you bake bread or just feed the starter?
