I was able to get up and out early enough this morning that I ran my intervals outside. I was still sopping wet when I got home, but it wasn't TOO bad. I greatly prefer that to treadmill running, where I'll get bored and feel like the effort is a lot higher, but then the treadmill is better than nothing when the weather is terrible. I just wasn't going to go out running last week or so while there was a heat advisory every day.

I saw a couple of neighbors, scored some tomatoes from one, and another mentioned she hadn't seen me out lately. It amuses me how much Fox and I are known as the "running people." One of the new neighbors apparently likes cats, because I saw three at their house - a brown tabby, an orange tabby, and a gray kitty. That greatly increased my average Kitties Per Mile. One neighbor I stopped to talk to mentioned his garden wasn't doing too great this year, which makes me feel a bit better about how unspectacular mine is. He says he probably ought to try rotating his plants - apparently he's been planting squash in the same place too long, LOL.

Today's been pretty good. I even moved some of the cat stuff around. They had an old "Kitty City" thing we set up a long time ago, and my two surviving boys don't really play on it anymore, so I dismantled it and moved some sturdier cat furniture into that spot, freeing a place in my office to put an armchair near the window. The light's so much better, it's a great spot to sit and flip through my art books.

June was just such a low energy month. The heat grinds me down, and the long days aggravate me. It's still hot obviously, but with the blackout curtains I'm doing a lot better than I have in previous years.

When I had a treadmill, I was of 2 minds about it. I did appreciate having it & being able to get some exercise but I didn't exactly enjoy it lol.

Blackout curtains: I've been on the fence about them. I kinda low-key want some for our bedroom, particularly the door that leads outside - but I'm trying to work out how to attach something because I like to open the blinds during the day [they are built into the door]. My body insists upon pitch darkness to sleep now.
