I had a pretty tired day. Even the gym felt a bit of a struggle. I got my new shoes early in the afternoon so I used them on my outdoor walk. They are comfortable and I am happy with them. Now tree roots and rocks don't hurt anymore when I step on them. I think they will be perfect after I get a few more walks in on them. The walk was too hot and sunny for me again, but I got everything done so it was a good day.

It was raining all day. I started on the walking pad hoping it would be dry later, but that didn't happen. So out I went in my rain poncho. I still had a nice walk outside and the poncho did a really good job keeping me dry so it wasn't too bad.

I slept for almost 10 hours, so I did feel a bit better! I feel the same about there not being enough hours in the day. I guess we just have to do what we can.

I had a full day which started with the gym. Workout went pretty good. Went home to shower and then got a bunch of groceries. When I got home, I saw my food scale was low on batteries and I didn't have the right kind so after my outdoor walk I picked some up. The walk was nice and I saw some fun things. I did a little bit of work in the garden in the evening, but I was too tired to do much. I honestly just want to set it all on fire! Also got some packages delivered with treats for my cat, silicone panholders, a hat, a book and some vet wrap.

What a cool looking lizard (is it?), I hope the dog doesn't hurt them, they are so cute!

It was an extremely wet day over here. I got wet biking to the gym, then I got wet biking home, and then I got even more wet during my outdoor walk in the afternoon (from the knee down anyway). I didn't really mind because the rest of the day felt very lazy with lots of cuddle time with my cat. Good luck at the gym!

I had a really nice walk in the morning, very quiet except for all the birds. Found some tiny feathers that I suspect got blown out of a nest. I got groceries after, dropped off a package with my old modem and picked up the package that has my new roller shades. Even though I already have light blocking curtains in my bedroom, they don't do a great job and I don't want to get up in at 5 in the summer. So I got these new ones that I think will be a lot better. I unpacked one last night and it looks pretty simple to hang up, so I might attempt that today if I have the energy. My second walk was very muddy so I had to be a bit careful.

Love that picture, looks like an awesome group of gym friends!

Thank you! I am glad you found a nice foot roller. For me, getting up early is between 6 and 7. I think that's early enough! I have chronic fatigue so I need a lot of sleep. If I get up at 5, I would need to go to bed at 19:00 and that just seems a bit insane.

I tried to put up one of the roller shades today. I don't have enough plugs, the wall is super hard in some places and it doesn't hang straight even though the level says it does. Instead of struggling with it for hours, I asked if my dad wants to help. It is really simple and I know he will have them up in less than 10 minutes. I just don't have the energy to deal with it, lol. He will come over next Saturday.

Picture is blurry because my phone is being silly, but you get the idea. It rolls down slightly to the right, so there is a gap on the left side which I obviously don't want. If they are up properly, I think they will be great at blocking the sunlight.
