  1. Played a silly semi-idle/incremental game that just tickled the right bit of my brain and made me happy. (Zero Stress King if you were curious.)
  2. Did manage to read a bit after not feeling like it the last couple days.
  3. I clearly got a “cooling blanket” and cooler summer PJs just in time, because it’s going to be warm over the next few days.

  1. Son’s 8th grade graduation was last night. It was done parade style, so we had a good time hanging out in the car as a family as we drove through the celebration.
  2. Daughter’s last day of school was also yesterday and we have a gap until summer speech therapy starts up, so she is getting to sleep in for a bit.
  3. The garden is starting to produce. We already have some basil, raspberries, and peas. We can see little tomatoes and zucchini starting to grow as well.

  1. A very small win, but the crack in the corner of my lip is mostly healed!
  2. Weekend!
  3. Managed to focus on something that I was feeling a bit ugh about. It was a small silly thing, but hey! It’s done!

I thought I’d eaten all the blueberries I picked and froze last summer but I found a surprise extra jar!

  1. The warm weather means the laundry can dry outside.
  2. I’m coping better with the heat today than on Friday.
  3. Lots of progress on my blanket this weekend! You can start to see the cat emerging. I hope to get about four more rows done today, so the progress will be even more dramatic.

  1. Air conditioning.
  2. My raid group cleared the first part of the last fight we need to do and practised part two both on Friday and today. Progress is being made!
  3. We got ice cream in the shopping and it was definitely the right choice. In my case, salted caramel Magnums. Om nom nom.

  1. The weather should cool down tomorrow. Actually, that should start this evening!
  2. Just managed to fit in quite a bit of reading time, more than I’d intended actually. It’s always nice, especially since I can’t take it for granted at the moment… I’m so frequently not in the mood.
  3. Looking forward to another salted caramel Magnum after work…

  3. Took it a bit easy today since the heat meant bad sleep.

  1. Miraculously, more salted caramel Magnums have appeared.
  2. Lisa helping me complete jobs in PowerWash Simulator. I get to a point of feeling done with the level before everything’s complete, normally, but with a bit of help the whole thing stays fun.
  3. Weekend plans!

  1. Got tickets, child and pet care, and rooms reserved for a trip for my husband and me.
  2. I’ve been taking my son with me to the weight room this summer. We’ve been doing a good job keeping each other accountable.
  3. My daughter started summer speech therapy and is much better at focusing when she has had a day of school beforehand.

  1. Lisa enjoyed a surprise gift I got them.
  2. I now have a cute oversize sleep tee with dinosaurs on.
  3. Lisa and I used my half-day to go see the UK AIDs memorial quilt which is being displayed not too far from where I live. I’m grateful for the people who memorialised their loved ones and wrote their names large, and for the event being organised. (Obviously it is also a deeply sad and moving thing to go and see, but I’m grateful all the same.)
