Yes, I am still complaining about the weather, sorry. Not for all that long, I hope.
I went to bed only half an hour late but then set my alarm half an hour early as well because the plan was to go on my walk/run earlier than usual so I would only partially melt.
I was pretty good, husband was rather surprised at seeing me ready for yoga at the time he came over to make breakfast. I had even opened the manuscript!
We had a slightly quicker breakfast than usual and I set out without dealing with the dishes beforehand.
It was already very, very warm. It was bearable in the shade in the woods but the sunny bits on asphalt were, um, uncomfortable.
I met an older woman on the path who told me I was daring. Which I found confusing and asked why. Because I dared to run in the heat. Um, I met at least four more people doing the same. I actually went out earlier than usual to avoid the worst of the heat. I don’t get it.
And then there was a part of me that thought I was doing something wrong because of that exchange which is just ridiculous. I knew from the outset that I could go on a 73-minute walk/run in the heat, I drank extra water before leaving the house and I was certain I would be able to at least walk back very slowly in case running was too hard. It’s not like that was my first time doing this.
Meanwhile my husband ran 10k. I just did 7.3 but that was definitely enough for me.
It took ages until my face was no longer beet-red, I really don’t like the heat.
I did the dishes, I took a shower and then there was lunch:
After that I read, and ate chocolate, and went online, and played my video game badly until I was almost late for the weekly writer Zoom. Meeting these people was nice, as always, but I should have logged off a little earlier because then I was too late for the weekly watching of ‚Columbo‘.
That episode was pretty good with William Shatner playing the murderer. (It was actually the second episode of ‚Columbo‘ where Shatner was playing the murderer, I almost forgot.)
And then there wasn’t much time left in the day. I did the dishes while listening to yet another packing video, started writing this post, talked with the boy for a while, made a list for today and went to bed too late.
Today will be another too hot day but then it should cool down a little, phew.
