Very chaotic activity, but getting things started! More laundry. Folding, hanging, washing A bit of vacuuming. Gathering papers. Found my wallet and that gift certificate I’ve been looking for! I kinda like my hair after all. It needed time to adjust.

Got dressed.* Did stretches. PUPA 5 minutes. Water houseplants.
Set up new watering schedule/table. Update food diary from all my scribbled notes of last week. Put away clothes from dryer. *Accidental discovery of the day: If you put on a bra that is not quite finished hang-drying, it has a pleasant cooling effect. I bet I could do this intentionally and experiment with moisture levels.

What a delightful discovery, goldenthreads! You could also put your underwear in the freezer before putting it on!

Wow, when we start putting our heads together we can really go places, get things done, come up with ideas... Your idea is giving me the chills! And that's a good thing.

Finish packing 3. Move unwanted items into livingroom (because I need more space in the office to actually sort)

goldenthreads. We can conquer the world! We had a few blessed days of respite from the heat. And humidity down in the 30’s!! Sorry about your ADD hubby, oust! I’m all about staying cool, missjean and mouseanne! Will you be up late, mylittlescholar? I hope to be doing some stuff late. One of my double hung windows just broke. I’m so sad. I was using it everyday in this heat. My achiness, fatigue, and depression suddenly lifted this afternoon. I can hardly believe it. I’d forgotten what it’s like to feel ok. Maybe the meds are kicking in. Got dog to river to swim. Walked hill twice. Got gas. Picked up dog treats I forgot to go to the other store. I’ll go now. It’s only a few blocks away.

mylittlescholar I believe you've added the final piece to the cooling puzzle! I completely forgot I have a fan tucked away in a closet. Add that to the damp or frozen underwear hack, and I think I can get through a few more 100° days. It's lovely to hear you're doing better, grasshopper. oust I am sending you strength and patience as you continue your efforts. Late night greetings to all who are here! Repackaged a spice blend from plastic bag into sprinkle-top spice jar. More usable as a shaker, and does not flop over! Washed dishes. Watered houseplants--a couple had dropped a few leaves due my tardiness, but they will recover. Set up new watering schedule/table. Update food diary from all my scribbled notes of last week. Put away clothes. Work 10 minutes on east half of living room.
