I’m reading a very good book called “Trick Mirror” by Jia Tolentino. It’s a collection of essays that essentially swirl around both internet culture and feminism. It’s very smart. I wanted to recommend it to the hub.

Packing for my big move has begun. I’ve warned my closest circle that I anticipate panic to kick in around Aug 1 — that will be two weeks out from the move date.

My sister appears to finally have found a roommate to replace me in the apartment — her third try. The flakiness of my sister’s friends is a fact. My brother asked me on the phone today if I think either the new roomie or my sister will clean the place. Scoffing, I said no.

I started running again this week. I am easing back into it. I’ve been waking up at 5 am to get outside before the heat gets too awful. It is an extremely valuable endeavor for my well being and my soul.

My resting heart rate is trending high and has all year. I suspect my blood pressure too. I hope I can bring it down/manage it through exercise and good eating. There’s a family history though.

All any of us can do is our best. I have hope for all if you, hubski. Be safe. Be well.
