Take home lesson from yesterday: a good accompanist is invaluable. (Lesson 2: little kids are still cute. And lesson 3: absolutely nothing happened when I went to church without socks/hose.)
Had a restless night last night.: 3:30 a.m. - the wind woke me up, 87 degrees outside. 4:00 a.m. - still awake. Still hot. 4:30 a.m. - still awake, still hot. 5:00 a.m. - still awake, still hot. 5:30 a.m. - still awake. Now I'm not only hot, I'm irritated. (If that happens again tonight, I'm heading for the chair with a book. Not going to waste that time again.)
7:00 a.m. - woke up after a short nap. 60 degrees outside. No wind. WOW - I'm heading out for a bike ride. (Along with everyone else that lives in my community.) Loved the temp. Loved the lack of wind - we've had such heavy winds & hot temps the last little while. And all the fires have made the air smell so awful. Didn't even smell too bad outside. (Grateful as I am for my treadmill and elliptical, it felt so very good to be outside in the morning air again. Thanks, My Love, for air in my bike tires.)
Saw a few meadowlarks this morning, but didn't hear them. I guess they didn't feel like singing. Watched a couple sparrows and finches have a drink and a bath in the rivulets of water in a garden bordering the trail. Saw my 80-something-year-old friend out weeding. She's amazing.
Decided that even after a rough night, and it being a Monday with a long list of things to accomplish, it was a great way to start the day.
