Eleanor has not been hopping up on the bed the past few weeks, presumably some sort of Cat Agreement with Moby. But I've missed her. So I brought her in with me last night, and she seemed to enjoy snuggling into me. She didn't stay very long, but that's her choice. I think she returned at some point.
One of those restless nights, when I woke about 1300 and didn't seem to actually sleep, although I'm sure I actually did, until the wee hours. The alarm caught me in deep sleep, so I waited for the second chime as I moved my aching joints into shape.
Hot, and for here, rather humid feeling. Maybe just because we are not acclimated to a hot summer.

Watered the tomatoes and strawberries. The "bok choy" still alive, but much bugge eaten. Getting a very few tomatoes. They are very tasty though. Trying to eat salad every meal I can, my body feeling the lack of greenery lately.
Otherwise, listless and vaguely itchy. Worried about the odor in the back coming from the compost, until I realized it was hippie neighbor's chickens. Doesn't bother me, really, but it's distinctive and within a certain radius, pervasive.
Moby is reacting to the reflection off the laptop on the sideboard*. Good to see him engaged, but not wanting to cause a spill off the ledge.
(I may have a new toy, mostly for at work. That I can text with.)

Just a quick reply---I'm on my way out of the house (to the farmers market)----to say, turn those humidity digits around and you have the humidity percentage out here.
We're 15 degrees cooler, but still : soupy!
Frex,
It's all about the dewpoint. Always about the dewpoint. 90˚ F here really isn't usually bad at all, but just a few more drops of moisture in the air, and it gets really oppressive. Nothing like Boston when it's 80˚, or your part of the world when it's muggy. That's like sitting around in a gigantic mouth.
Here's the current reading where I am:

Our cat Leo has been somewhat listless, either that, or he is basking in the heat such that he doesn't want to move too much.
