My brain is restless and discontent. Nothing is working.     Wait, wrong gif...

Medical update: the medicine is taking effect, and the rattling and coughing has been reducing.   Yesterday was a movie marathon of Howl's Moving Castle, Coco, Vivo, and In The Heights. I haven't had any trouble dancing to tunes or singing my favorite lines, but I did refrain from doing that the entire time so I wouldn't strain myself by accident, but it was very reassuring and mostly lively (HMC is good for making me feel human, but the other three have amazing music vibes). Today could have been a movie marathon, too, but... I played Animal Crossing... and then didn't stop. 😆 Cid and I had a laugh last night comparing our game play hours. I've got 700+ hours on this island (which I'm attempting to wrap up before starting fresh), and his top three games on Steam don't even add up to that because his top is 200 hrs, and the next two are between that and 150. Then he kept scrolling, and the games that I played (see Car Mechanic Simulator and Terra Nil, among others) took top spots, too (like 5 out of his top 20). 😅 Anyway, still haven't caught a Mahi-Mahi despite my efforts throwing bait from the pier, but I have caught pumpkin fever by being time travelled up to October where the villagers got me excited about Halloween, so I got distracted from fishing to put up so many more pumpkin things. 😂   Anyway, I'm putting it down for an hour or so to do other things and let my brain know I got things done. Like today's Sudoku puzzle. 😉   Thanks for checking on me. I'm not dead yet. I feel happy. I feel happy. 😆  Maerad

Hell yeah! You entered into a hard dungeon level and skipping a little treat knowing "I had little treats earlier." Is an epic win. May the a/c be super easy to fix! And the "slumber party" goes better tonight

calf raises 🐝 side kicks 🐝  I really didn't want to do a jumping move in my workout to day, so I did these instead in that time slot

Sorry about the tough day. I feel like shrimp can be tough to cook. It goes from raw to overcooked really easily. Yay for saying no to the treat.

RIGHT?!?! A group of mortorcyclists went in the day and one died, the others are in care, and of course the helicopters couldn't get to them. Heat tourism is a weird idea to me, right up there with Tide Pods.   I agree that this is the whole nugget -- when the heat index goes above a certain point, don't go out at all, and certainly don't take your kids on a hike.   I've been on the phone this afternoon with the dog owners and I am beside myself trying to get DudleyTheDog out from under the bed long enough just to go outside and pee. I've tired eveything i can think of, and I'm pretty certain it will simply require a second person since we keep playing the round-the-circle-can't-catch-me game. I've put water in the room and am going to try again after I get back from my viola lesson.

Good work!

Lol thank you. Yep those little shits are getting big. My daughter is in 10th and my son is in 9th now if you can believe it.   I miss my old Juggernaut workouts. I might run with some PL in the future. I only have up to 105#s of weight in my garage plus a 35# KB and a 50# KB. Today's workout kicked my ass more than I thought it would.   Working out in the garage in Texas during the summer adds at least 5# to each lift 😛

Well, I was following a draw along video where the instructor is a professional comics artist!   This one was interesting because I didn't think my drawing looked that much like Percy (although the instructor's did), but at the end I added the glasses and then I could see him.
