@CheerBear, yay for the return of school! (Easy to say now that I don't have to go there!)
Yesterday was good. Productive creatively. Also some good sleep chunks, catching up.
Today will probably be more of the same. Still finding it hard to get out of the flat and the aircon this summer. I'm sweating before I make it to the front gate. After that, it's just sweat and more sweat, streams of it, to a mad degree. When I was in the country town last week, it was ridiculous. So embarrassing having to deep wiping my face every two seconds at the house of my friend and collaborator. The other friend I visited there had aircon, a relief.

@Mazarita 🙂 things are great thanks Mazzy. I am going to take my son2 to the movies tonight as a treat to see the Clint Eastwood movie The Mule. He has never been out late so it will be a very exciting night for him :).
How are you faring this morning?

@Mazarita Is the sweating menopause related? or is it the medicines that you are on? I think everyone is sweating more than usual because of the heat. Personally I think you probably looked like you had a beautiful glow about you than sweating 🙂

@Mazarita@CheerBear Ladies I am about to crash. Great talking to you both. Particularly Mazzy am missing your long raves. Do you think you could post some up for the pea to read :). Love gp xxxxxx

I'm good this morning, @Bunniekins. Been awake for about three hours after two and a half hours sleep. Will get some more before long though. Not worrying too much about the lack of order in my sleep at the moment, just taking it when it comes. It wouldn't do anything to worry about it too much anyway, so might as well go with the flow for now.
The Mule looks interesting. Hope you and Son2 enjoy it, and the later night, heaps.
I think the sweating is probably menopause plus the anti-depressant I'm on. My psychologist tells me she sees a number of people on the same one, and that most of us stream sweat if she doesn't have her aircon on full. But it never used to do this to me before. I've been on it for years. So there has to be something else going on too now. The heat here is not that bad, nothing like what others have been getting this season, though still warm and humid, as usual, for this time of year in this sub-tropical zone.
Thanks for the beautiful glow image in your mind. In reality, my face probably looks more like a tap running over a tomato.

Nightie night, @Bunniekins (just as the first light is in the sky here). Sleep well. Long raves are likely to return at some future moment.

@CheerBear, I think I'd rather the heat here than the 40 plus days elsewhere, though I'm nonetheless taking full refuge in aircon like never before.
Yes, the article was published! It's been shared by a collection of others on social media. A fair few 'likes'. Some have commented favourably on it. That's about all you get really, but it's more than enough for me.
What's the day looking like for you?

Thanks, @CheerBear. Confidence is at a relative high at the moment, a good time to be doing things like this. May not last forever, so making hay while the sun shines. At other times I have been too timid, anxious, and self-recriminating to extend myself as far.
Sounds like you have a productive day planned. Fingers crossed the crew are in a better place with it all than yesterday, and you too.
I'm impressed that the kitten can be trained to do things. Cats are not so easily trainable in my experience. One of the things I like about them is their independent spirit. They seem to do as they please a fair bit!
Dawn is here now, and so time to head towards bed again. Great to see you this morning. Friendly vibes heading your way for the rest of the day.
