It Isn't the Heat...It's the Humidity

Ye gods, I'm tired. I got a good night's sleep though. Dark circles under my eyes.

I read an article, "How to get organized at home when you have ADHD or mental health issues", which led me to a Web site called Struggle Care, which led me to a book, How to Keep House While Drowning. I requested the book from the library. It might help.

WOMAN- I need those books! Since 2020, my weight, depression and anxiety and overall hopelessness are up and my ability to keep house is NIL.

I've also been sleeping and not really feeling rested. The back and forth weather affects me, I know, but I also think the deep hurt of our nation, nay- the world, is at play here as well. My brain, my mind, want me to lay low and sleep a bit more on weekends. Tho my night owl-ishness keeps me up til midnight or 1 am on the regular. ha

I hear you on the humidity- I want it to stay in swamplands and leave the rest of us alone! Even me, about 2 blocks from Lake Michigan, suffers from humidity. Today is 87% humidity (or so it is said) but it is FAR cooler-feeling than yesterday, which was at 90%. nothing makes since to me anymore, from politics to weather (which I know is affected by huge climate change.)

Ugh, I feel for you mom and your aunt. Oddly, I've been having signs of a possible return of cancer (tho it could be other things.) And with doctors and specialists so overwhelmed, my current appointments for docs are late August and November. It's a rough time to have poor health.

We had a lovely, hard rain before dawn. It woke me, but I enjoyed the sounds. I hope you got to swim! I want to take a yoga swim class, but none of the classes available at Galter Life Center at the hospital where I work are at times I could attend! It sucks.

I've always said that my house reflects the chaotic content of my mind :) But having it clean and organized might calm my mind down.

I don't know why I'm perpetually tired, except my night-owl-ishness keeps me up late. I can't wait until I retire and can keep my own hours!

I'm not very close to my aunt, but what happens to her affects my mom, whom I am really worried about.

I think that we also had rain, but it was over before I woke up. I didn't swim because I stayed up late and got up late.
