Thurs 18 Sept

I will be glad when the nights are no longer too warm to sleep comfortably. I don't want it to be so cold that our neighbors without shelter are too cold, but when it's this warm in the bedroom at night, I wake frequently and have a hard time getting back to sleep.

Wed 17 Sept

Getting pretty tired of this heat/humidity just going on and on. Supposed to be a bit cooler tomorrow, but we'll see. North Shore temps are predicted in low 60s, so we're hoping that is true. Food: 8:00 am Apple turnover, 106 g blackberries, coffee

Tues 16 Sept

Enjoyed choir rehearsal last night, got to sing the whole time since the music distribution was pretty well done.
