    Hi all. I can’t believe it’s already mid-July. How is everyone’s summer going? Do you feel safer doing more activities this year? I don’t know where you’re located, but summers in the Northeast never last long so I’m trying to soak it up as much as I can while still remaining cautious. Been spending most of my free time by the ocean. My brother and other relatives rented beach houses this week, so I’m hoping to do some day trips. It’ll be nice to see family and catch up.

    Do you have any plans for the rest of the summer?

    It’s oppressively hot in Mississippi. I’ve just been staying in. That said, my brother and I have recently started this daily ritual of going outside after work where we just pace around in our chairs and chat for 30-40 minutes. Gotta get that vitamin D from the giant nuclear reactor in the sky.

    Other than that I have no real plans. The ocean sounds nice!

      Yeah, it’s oppressively hot here too. But I agree that it’s good to get outside too. I hate the feeling of being couped up. Probably why I despise winter so much. ????

      Pacing can be cathartic. Sounds like a nice routine. Is the humidity ridiculous in Mississippi? That’s what gets to me.

    No major plans other than some beach days. We are about to hit a heatwave this week so definitely won’t be doing it this week LOL other than that, just been working as usual. Went to a concert last week and have another one coming up in october. But other than that, business as usual

    Yes! We’re getting that heatwave here too. Hopefully, it’s not too bad at the beach. It’s the humidity I don’t do well in. I always have trouble breathing.

    I miss going to concerts! Who did you go see?

    My renovation is close to being completed. After that a thorough cleaning will be needed. Of course I’ll try to soak up some sunshine between organizing and cleaning. The ocean sounds glorious! How accessible are the beaches?

      The neat freak in me thinks that sounds like fun. ???? There’s just nothing like the feeling of a clean space you know?

      Unfortunately, the beaches aren’t accessible here at all. My brother has to carry me onto the sand. I’ve always thought about working with the state to make state beaches accessible with mobi mats. It can’t be that difficult.
