1. I'm feeling pretty normal today, including no fever.
2. Joule, my husband, and I walked just over half a mile this morning without my hip complaining too much.
3. I got the numbers waffle.

The challenge with looking for where you set down your glasses is that you're not wearing your glasses so you can't see them!

Today I came across this photo from last September. Donny was helping me write GOTV postcards for CA Prop 50. I was recovering from surgery in August.

@fonecokid It seems that Trump's only criterion for putting someone into a high position is a "Yes" answer to "Can you lie for me with a straight face?"

@markandthewoofcrew Oh no!

@ninetiger 😮

@mbongowo Welcome! I'm a retired biostatistician who did a fair amount of work spatial and environmental statistics. I'll be interested in following your posts.

@joyce 😢

@NorcalGma2 I'm glad you found a solution that worked for Summer!

@cobalt123 It is so hard to lose those canine family members. Our Donny passed last month. He had gotten quite deaf over the last year or two, so thunderstorms no longer bothered him at all. He still would have felt the fireworks that shook the house, though.

@Uncleharvey I'm so glad your cardio appointment finally is arriving, even though 4AM is an ungodly hour to have to get up. I hope the tests provide the information needed to develop a good plan to get you feeling better!

@cobalt123 Thank you.

@Sharonbw I'm glad you could get an early walk in before the day heated up. I hope your bloodwork turns out very well.

@joyce Oh my, good luck with the power situation! Days without power, especially in summer heat, would be awful. We had very similar early walking weather to yours -- nice.

Good morning, Mastodon friends!
Well, the neighborhood racket finally ended at about 11:45 last night. Joule seems back to normal this morning, and she, my husband, and I walked around the block (a little over half a mile) in a pleasant temperature. My hip got twingy but not bad.
I ate nothing but white bread yesterday, and my system seems to have settled down. Am I brave enough for a bowl of oatmeal this morning? I think so.
And I think I'll be safe to leave the house long enough to pick up prescriptions and groceries.
The Zoom conversation yesterday with my sister and our four cousins was interesting and fun, and I was grateful just to be here for it. When we did it last July 4th, I'd been diagnosed with cancer but was still waiting for the first oncologist appointment. I really didn't expect to be around for another year.
Have a safe day, all, and never give up

@VeroniqueB99 Agreed! The town just north of ours did their first 4th of July drone show this year. I wish I could have gone. SO MUCH better than fireworks.

@Skwerlgyrl Joule is doing better than previous Fourths. She's staying in her crate in the basement but doesn't seem panicky, and she even has been working away at a frozen kong during the city's fireworks show.
Lactium seems to work better for her than other calming supplements, and she's been getting it in her breakfast and dinner for the last several days. Lactium is the active ingredient in Vetoquinol's Zylkene, but I give her Swanson Anti-Stress Lactium, which is the same stuff at lower cost.
I hope Jaxon does better than you expect tonight. Poor dog (and poor you being concerned for him).

I am really touched. About half an hour ago I heard the basement door open. I was sure it was my husband coming up to get something. But it was Joule coming up to get me! She would not leave me alone until I headed down the hall toward the basement with her. Then she hustled down the stairs. She really is taking over as my protector and companion.
Now to start the livestream of the city's fireworks (with sound off!).

The neighbors across the street are firing off the loudest fireworks I remember hearing since we've lived here. Poor Joule.

@Skwerlgyrl 😢
