I just ate spicy ramen for breakfast, and just realized that I've lost track of two or three days again. While there's little chance that anything of great importance vanished with the memory of them, I have the feeling I might have enjoyed bits of them here and there, and it's sad that I can't reminisce about them now. But then there was undoubtedly also some utter crap I'm just as well off not to remember. It's a timely reminder that inside very silver lining there's a big, dark cloud.
No literal clouds today though. The rest of this month is mostly sunny and hot, and the last two days are expected to have triple digit highs. One of those will have a nocturnal low of seventy, though all the others will get down into the sixties. The one is just an unwelcome harbinger of the hell that awaits us this summer. One of the hells, as I'm sure there will be others. Today's small bit of hell is that my feet have decided to start itching like mad, and my stiff joints make scratching problematic. I'm going to go soak them (the feet) for a while, to see if that can help. I'm not really hopeful.
