Three good things about today:

1. It was a mostly cloudy day. It stayed below 100F and we even got a few drops of rain.

2. Got a nice nap in this afternoon.

3. Baked a pie and the whole house smelled like apples and cinnamon for a while.

Canopy at QT, 1:47 PM.

Snapped with @Alice in mind.

Dawn, 6:20 AM.

For #MeerMittwoch: Paragliders getting ready to do their thing over an impossibly blue ocean today.

Ta-Da!

I think I was more helpful in my meetings #today than my coding or planning. I didn't do much of either of the latter. Tomorrow and Friday I will have more time. I have a meeting on Monday I need to prepare for. I want to pull together enough of my thoughts to make a cohesive pitch to leadership that integrates and complements what I've seen of my partner in product's thoughts so far.

I have received a hint that this next project may be very much up to the two of us to define. That'll be fun.

Tennessee on this #WhiskersWednesday!

I've been kinda feeling like the energizer bunny in #myday of doins #today.

Don't know why nor where all this giddy up has come from, but it got me up n movin n doin' and got the whole list of Heather's Wednesday household Honey-doins done well before noon today.

The wife, on the other hand, has been mosying slowly n easily today. She hadn't heeded the weather gods and their muggy-sticky mischief and got to her outside gardening duties quite late.

She was quick to confirm on her return that yes, it's BAD out there #today.

But all is done, and even lunch has been had, and now I have the rest of #myday to sit n sip n maybe watch some TV.

I came across an old favorite show, streaming. "All Creatures Great and Small". It's been a favorite since my much younger days, and now I have access to the newest version. So, I'm sorta figuring that's how I'll be spending the rest of #myday #today .

Hey, why not. It's much too hot for doin anything else.

Every day I'm on #Mastodon I like to jot down #3goodThings #threeGoodThings for #today... things done, things to do, or just a good thing

1. A neighbour/friend's funeral service... pleasant as these things go, and quite moving. Makes you think... but as I always say, better to celebrate a life than mourn one, and this was far more a celebration.

2. Off on holiday in couple of days and work stuff more or less under control, but then I'm supposed to be retired.

3. Always Look on the Bright Side of Life, and Beethoven's Ode to Joy (thinking of music I'd like at my funeral)

Good morning. I slept later than normal and am trying to catch up. So far it’s slow going + the humidity isn’t helping.

At least the overcast skies will make my granddaughter’s band camp more comfortable. At pick up yesterday she was hopeful it would rain today so they could march outside in it. She wasn’t fazed by being out all day in the muggy weather, either. Gotta love being young. (BTW our ice cream was delicious.)

Today I’ll be inside in the AC. Alas, I’m not young.

#Today will see to job (not work) fripperies.

The hope for a new office is looking a bit wan: the typical carioca maresia—sweet sea-breath brought by joyful winds—tends to linger in those windowless “american”-style corporate buildings and the oldest ‘grand houses’ which sat sealed for far too long. With a general preference for aircon over thrown-open windows, the maresia lingers, festers into mildew and mold.

I keep my own windows wide open, thank you very much.

Stay breezy, friends.

Good morning. Summer summers along. #Photography #Today #Summer #Chicago

Good morning and TZAG, friends.

I am glad I managed to exercise yesterday and Monday so I can fully enjoy my recovery day #today.

My agenda for $dayjob is a mix. A few meetings and some time to get into some coding and/or planning.

Looking forward to catching up with my friend, Tony, tonight at The Row.

Good morning!

This morning's walk was hot and sticky, with the humidity at 96%. When will this awful summer be over?

Now I'm back in my house and sipping my coffee and recovering. Today I'll write and read and play with Theo.

Have a good one, friends.

#Today 13

Good day!

Again, I find myself in a race against the clock each day—unless on a hike.

Truthfully, I love being busy. I’ve long been rather hyper, except when I was anemic as a child & during the years-long illness a decade ago.

Thankfully, I can stand & type.

Be everwell.

Good morning, y'all, and happy hump day Wednesday to ya

It's another miserable muggy-sticky start to #myday. A bit cool at the moment at 75deg. But that'll change soon enough as the sun rises and heat up the day. The humidity is at a soggy, foggy 100% even though it's not raining. Yet anyway. That's due this afternoon. The dew point is joining the temperature again today at 75deg, making it a horrendous mess to step out into.

Ya know, it actually hit a horrible high of 78deg dew point yesterday. Sure hope THAT'S not on repeat.

Welp, at least the sun is trying to shine for my morning sitting n coffee sipping this morning. ️

From all that complaining about the weather, ya probably can figure that there's little planned for doins #today. Just staying cool n dry inside and maybe finding little projects to putter with if the mood moves me.

Hope y'all have a decent day of doin today, and do try to stay cool n dry n comfy cozy, OK.
