Another hot day here. Car read 109℉ but I think the scientific measurement was closer to 101℉ …perfect water temperature in the pool, though.
100+ today. But I liked the way the shadows danced by the pool.
Summer had finally arrived. 104℉ today.
More weird weather. Weird for this part of Northern California, in any case. The plants seem to enjoy it, though. They're thriving in the cooler June weather, and the higher humidity.
Fun fact! 42.74% of 2023 has now passed. July 2nd is when the year crosses the halfway threshold. Reminds me of that old MENSA test question: if a rabbit runs into the forest, how far does it get? Answer: halfway, then it begins running out of the forest. And, I think that is a perfect metaphor for my life right now. I feel as if I have been running into this year with no bearings, no map.
It will be interesting to hear what the "dissertation coach" has to offer. I have a zoom call with her tomorrow morning. Just in time for the spot on my forehead to swell to the size of a raspberry. The dermatologist zapped a few spots on my face with liquid nitrogen this morning. That'll be fun trying to explain all the big red spots on my face. Honestly, I don't care about appearances. I just want to get on the path out of the forest.
In other happenings today, the weather is once again unseasonable. The clouds moved in overnight, and it sprinkled quite a bit this morning. And, it rained a bit this afternoon. Definitely not June weather for NorCal.
