July 10th. Sunshine abound. The skies are cloudless. A good day for an early morning walk but I did not get going till 10 am. The heat is on. I had to have a rest stop on the way to the mall. Good thing there was a bench halfway. These days my hands and hips are protesting with the heat. My fingers are puffy looking like sausages or bananas. They ache and ache. Now my right pinkie developed into a trigger. Taking tumeric helps some. My trek to the mall was more like a waddle than a walk.

Life goes on regardless, however slowly or painfully. I am not complaining. The whole world is suffering except maybe the 1%. Clearly our planet is complaining. We are not good stewards of our one livable planet. Green grass and trees are more beautiful in this beholder’s eyes than greenbacks. Obviously you can’t live without money either.
