As always, kind of a strange day. June 29 is the anniversary of the death of a good friend, my mom’s birthday, a friend’s birthday, a day for introspection.

Mom recognized me and said my name today so that was interesting. She liked the get together we had but was in a mood. Always so funny to see her still being herself, and the dementia and all.

Found some neat artsy stuff at the thrift stores today. A filled sketch book and some vintage art supplies. Maybe now I’ll create that masterpiece lol.

The pollen has calmed down and being outside has become enjoyable again.

Nice day at Amanda’s in Silverton. Had a freaking awesome lunch at some dive bar. Good food!

Lots of traffic coming home. So glad I’m not driving so much anymore.🤩🤩🤩

Delightful walk after work. I wished it could go on for a lot longer.

Good day on the treadmill. C25k has done its job. I can run constantly without stopping for 30 minutes. Again. Lol anyway, on to work on a 10k.

The hoa meeting was today. The pizza was good at least.

It’s cooler today. Got 20,000 steps outside. The pollen is down as well. Things are good.

Another Sunday. It’s freaking hot still. Had a good visit with mom. She didn’t have a lot to say but seemed happy to get visitors. We’ll have a small birthday celebration on Wednesday.

Spent some time at the vrc enjoying the ac and people watching. Lots of summer visitors in town.

The heat has driven a few of the local homeless completely insane. I had to drive carefully to avoid several people literally in the street. Running out in moving traffic and all. Sad.
