What it is Update

[lavendertook]

I'm feeling lonely and unmotivated even though I have so much to do. All I really want to do these days when home is to sit and read novels beside purring cats. I don't give myself enough permission to just do that. Tuxie is sleeping next to me--he's gotten to be my constant snoozy lefthand fuzzy attachment whenever I sit the past year since Saki

A constant snoozy lefthand fuzzy attachment... what a joy!

It's mega-hot here, too, and draining all the energy and motivation out of things. Our cooler 'autumn' won't be until November, sadly! I'll enjoy September/October coolness vicariously through your autumn posts. :)

He is and I'm grateful. I put Moo on top of the kitty condo yesterday for a little while and played with her and she seemed to like it and played back--I will try that with Tuxie today.

I'm sorry it's mega hot there too--you had such a hot spring as well. I hope Pippin is dealing OK with it.

Yeah, the heat is definitely adding a huge blanket of lethargy on top of all else even though I'm inside in the ac.

I need one of those constant snoozy lefthand fuzzy attachments. Only my model would have to be righthand.

It's a shame that you had to cancel going to your met up, but your extreme heat would put me off, too. It's not been quite as hot here as it has been by you, but still, more 90 degree days this summer than we've had in a while.

2016 is turning out to be a quite shitty year for a lot of folks. I really, really hope next year is a better one for everybody.

He is lovely. Moo takes the right-hand when she shows up. Why does it need to be right-hand for you?

Thank you! It's always a few degrees hotter in DC than it is here in the well treed burbs, so I didn't want to deal with that or chance taking my car out there. We've had more 90 degree days too--it's been a tougher summer than the last few and tough to deal with my broken internal thermostat.

I hope the same as well. Or that we'll all get better at rolling with the punches.

I'm right handed, so it's easier to scritch snoozy, fuzzy attachment's ears. :)

Heee! That didn't occur to me, because i'm right-hand dominant in some tasks, like writing and drawing, but seem to be totally ambi-scritchous. (-:

These few days have been super hot to the point I don't want to go outside for any reason. My least favorite season has always been summer, ah well better than the alternative. Am happy to watch the Olympics tho, love them in fact especially indoor volleyball. My advice, relax and don't try to get anything done right now. (My motto too much) lol

The things that makes July and August better than January and February for me are the green things I can see out my window in a longer stretch of daylight because I definitely tolerate cold better than heat. I miss how I could joy in each season as a kid.

Thank you for the advice to help me not feel bad if I get little done. And you've been through so much this year I am glad to hear you put a premium on taking it easy. Enjoy the Olympics! I've watched some vids of the women's gymnastics--amazing stuff.

I can feel the heaviness on my breathing as well--it has to be so much more difficult for you. Hopefully it will ease up on us later this week.

Thank you--I will try to remember that the weather is putting a bigger trial on things on top of the internal stuff I'm dealing with even indoors.

I hope when the weather gives us a break again there will be a weekend when you feel up to me coming out and taking you to a Braughers brunch.

I expect you wouldn't feel better until this weather breaks with how hard it makes it to breath. Hang in there, hon! September will be better.

I've always found NPR to be incredibly smarmy and self-satisfied so don't listen much.

I'm sorry things are so low, it seems to be catching, doesn't it. *hugs and fans*

Not all, but a lot of the shows can definitely be--like the Ted talks and Radio lab that try to present themselves as cutting edge, produced by middle-aged white guys who want you to tell them that their music collections are rad. But I can't find another radio news source that doesn't irritate me more--I can't take commercials and the Loud and right now I can't make recording and finding various podcasts a part of my life.

Thank you, sweetie. We can sit and companionably stare vacantly together. *hugs you*
