Hot, Hotter, Hottest: The Best of the YA Hotline | Vivian Howard

Likewise, I‘m amazed that it‘s the end of June already. How was the month? It was HOT.🥵

But I managed. And time moves on…

Kerrbearlib It‘s been really hot here too. My husband and I had to sleep in our basement for a few days when the heat spiked and the AC wasn‘t working well. 4d

TheBookHippie The heat. Unreal. 4d

Susanita @kerrbearlib Oof. I mostly stayed inside with the blinds closed. 4d

dabbe I knowingly live in a place where it's a daily hell from June-September. But you peeps are not supposed to experience outrageous temps in your area, are you? I have no idea how this could be happening. 🤔 As George Carlin so wittingly said, “The planet will shake us off like a bad case of fleas ... a surface nuisance.“
Until then, stay safe and use that ac! 💙💙💙 4d

Self-Therapy: A Step-By-Step Guide to Creating Inner Wholeness Using Ifs, a New, Cutting-Edge Therapy | Jay Earley

#mentalhealthmonday

Late because work started back yesterday so I was busy, which was good for my mental health. I have ADHD so unless there‘s a “fire”, it‘s difficult for me to keep myself moving and focused. And with this mess in Iran, (and Dodgers having a travel day, lol), I would have probably been frozen in bed.

I‘m coping by going through email, getting stuff done, and filing things away.

A few years ago I bought a couple portable chargers, and I recently got a recall notification. Thank you, CPSC! After about an hour of going around in circles to file a replacement request, I‘m ready to brave the heat and go to the community center where I can walk laps in the gym.

I am coping a lot better; took a little break to see family over the weekend and I feel a lot better. I have a couple of days coming up where I will be out of the house before my mom‘s family comes to visit. I am planning on getting out of my routine and going out more often during the summer and am planning on seeing a grief counselor this coming week #mentalhealthmonday

How to Stop Trying: An Overachiever�s Guide to Self-Acceptance, Letting Go, and Other Impossible Things | Kate Williams

#MentalHealthMonday

I‘m coping by staying hydrated, watching YouTube videos by licensed mental health professionals, writing, and spending time outside later. And will probably do some reading too! Oh, and being less hard on myself. Hence this book!

Anyone want to be added to my #MentalHealthMonday tagged list? Let me know!

DebinHawaii, CatLass007, CBee

IriDas Im supposed to be coping? Excuse me a moment **screams into the void** OK, I‘m back. 😉 Would love to be added. I‘m glad you can get some refreshment today. Much needed right now. 2w

Deblovestoread To cope I‘m taking a day off from news. I have a couple of small chores to do and then I am finishing up my cards for #SummerCardSwap. Tonight I‘m going to an outside concert with my daughter where I intend to dance with abandon and sing (badly) at the top of my lungs. 2w

dabbe I do! 🙋‍♀️ And thank you! I'm taking the dogs for a walk before it gets above 100º; then, I hope to get some housework done while jamming to my favorite 70s-80s tunes, then read in the afternoon, and watch the D-Backs. NO NEWS. Totally hiding from that. 💙 2w

dabbe @Deblovestoread I hope you and your daughter shake down that concert house! 😍 2w

CatLass007 I‘m avoiding the news as much as possible, listening to good music, and listening to good books. I also am wondering why one of my cats, Benjamin, thinks that the best time to cuddle is in the summer when it‘s 90° out. This morning when I was still in bed, he decided to climb on my pillow and press his back up against my left ear. It‘s OK I‘ve been having earache in that ear. The last few days and heat is always good for an earache. I (cont)⬇️ 2w

CatLass007 will request prayer and positive thoughts sent Molly‘s way (and mine) since her health is declining and I need to be super aware of how she‘s behaving because I think the day to take her to be euthanized will be this week. I just need to be careful not to hold onto her for too long. I have to remember that this is for her not for me. 2w

AnnCrystal @CatLass007 prayers for you both during this difficult time. Molly just needs to know you're near when she does journey on 😢🙏🏼🫂💝. (edited) 2w

The Beak of the Finch: A Story of Evolution in Our Time | Jonathan Weiner

All over the place. Medical insurance headaches that are already negatively impacting my kids. Over an hour trying to figure out that my daughter can‘t go to her scheduled appointment with the specialist tomorrow. I have been fighting insurance companies since my oldest was born over 28 years ago. I‘m so tired.

On the good side, my youngest son enjoyed the summer reading kickoff and I won for best speaker at Toastmasters.

Listen to Your Heart | Kasie West

Today my heart is…guarded. On one hand, the news is horrible, and the situation in LA is yet another issue of disagreement in the household. On the other hand, I was born in California, so if they secede perhaps I could apply for birthright citizenship? #mentalhealthmonday

Kerrbearlib

Kerrbearlib Perhaps! Where were you born in California, if you‘re willing to share? I used to have family in the Fresno area, but they moved back east. 4w

Susanita @Kerrbearlib My dad was in the Navy, and I was born in Monterey while he was stationed there. 4w

ncsufoxes We lived in San Diego for 11 years. My kids grew up there. It‘s devastating to watch what‘s happening in LA. California will always be a special place to us. 4w
