My poor hubby is not going to be a happy man today. It is going to get hot and very humid. I bet that the AC will go on early today.
The weather yesterday was pretty disappointing. By the time I got home from the supermarket, it was overcast and looking like it was going to rain. I decided to do some scrapping done so I started with the Multi-Photo Challenge. I wanted to scrap the pics of the rats chasing the bubbles but wouldn't you know it, each photo needed to be color-corrected. The white balance was totally off. I thought that I had an action to fix it but if I do, I couldn't find it. :noidea: I used the Nik Collection Filters but that ended up taking so much longer than I expected so I am not even finished with it after several hours of work.
I never made it outside and it never actually rained. :(

I think if Caitlyn gets up early enough, we are taking W over to the lake to swim this morning, then I hope to get some more weeding done. My cucumber plants are really taking off too! I have tons of baby cucumbers already. Woohoo! The sad thing is that I typically don't eat a lot of cucumbers but I make pickles and the fam loves them. I hope that the zucchini and eggplants start to grow. Lots and lots of flowers, but who knows if they will pollinate?

PT is this afternoon and I am so done with going. When I had radiation Tx, I had to be there 4 days a week for 5 weeks. This is 2 days/week for 5-8 weeks and I hate it so much more already. *grumble and complain*
But I have to say, that after seeing the photos of the detention camps being released, I shouldn't complain about anything ever again.
I cannot tell you how heavy my heart is and how enraged I am at the same time. It isn't a good combination mentally. I would love to be more like Gary who is saying, it sucks, I can't do anything about it so I am semi-ignoring it. That isn't that way I roll, for better or for worse.
I need to get to the shore, the ocean always revives me, in some ways even more than Dirt Therapy since at the ocean, I have nothing that I need to, except breathe.

Sorry for being negative today. I wish I really did have some faery magic to make so many troubles disappear.
But I do have hugs!! ~~~~~~ HAGD!

Felis- My initial reaction to the idea of topless photos was similar to Trudy's but I loved your explanation. Women traditionally don't have the confidence in their own bodies that they should and it is way past time to build it up for ourselves and for fellow women. Than you for the eye-opening explanation!
I wish I could share videos here because Cait sent me one of Livvie jumping off of her bed to escape. That little one is *fast!*

Jean- if I could bottle up your heat, I would!! I would save it for the winter when I am shivering non-stop. How did your meeting go?
Oh no, no one would ever want to see me on a balance beam! Not unless they are an orthopedic surgeon who needs another house LOL

Nancy- oh wow! That is crazy! Must have been scary for a while. The numbness almost sounds like a pinched nerve. I am really happy that all of the tests came back normal and that the trip is still on. But sheesh- what a few days that must have been. I am really glad that you are ok!!
I wonder what kind of ribbing Simmonds will get from his new team members:smile:

Hi girls!
I'm sorry but I also will continue at Chris'negative wave! I heard awful news, and hope it's just a speculation, but they said that new 5G network is dangerous for the birds which approach the antennas. I hope they will fix this, because human progress always takes an innocent victims! This angry me and make me sad. :tape: :mad2:

Very hot day here, we was out to run some errands this morning, but now plan to stay inside till sunset. At East Europe is not unusual hot as at the other part of the continent, so we are grateful for that!


:focus: I'm trying to shorten my posts, but as we saw previous days, this not allows me to explain qualitatively my thoughts.

So, Chris, Noo, topless photos are actually very funny and creative, I wasn't explain it quality at my first post, because I'm training to wrote short posts and also because I think you are saw similar to them. Whit the start of the Summer most boys posted their photos have fun shirtless. Dominique was posted even sweet IG story when she have to explain to her little daughter why she can't stay without top at the park playground till her friends boys can. And the girl was complaining something as "no one is better than other, why I have to melted at this way", was cute and smart.
oh Gary have my sympathy and understanding about the weather! I'm trying to follow his tip about the life: ''I can't do anything about it so I am semi-ignoring it'', after I read this book "Me, Who Dove into the Heart of the World" which I just love, but it's just not work for me in every situation.
Yes, I know and hate this feeling when one scrap project eat the whole your time and never bring you satisfied! I hope in new day and on a fresh mind you will can finalize it, because it sounds lovely! I will work with bird photos for that, but for now I'm concentrated on no challenge pages.
Take me to the lake with you, please! It's so boring and hot here!

Jean, our air don't have humid, so I'm not sure how it's feel, but I'm on the same opinion for the hotness! Umm, I have to admit that I can't understand this part for the inducted into the group for ancestors. I saw Chris congratulates you, so I suppose it is something as rise above, kind of advancing of your position?! If you have time, I'loud love to hear some details!

Nancy, ouch, this story about the numb, worry me a lot! I'm kind of hypochondriac, I guess. Good that you are gone to check your condition! Not good that they couldn't give you concrete answer, but at least you was been monitoring. Please, be careful and don't underestimate symptoms! But hooray for vacation plans not been canceled!
About the Instagram photos, yes it's all about the equality! You know that I'm struggling in my tries to crystallize all feminism nuances, but I'm trying! And yes it is restricted only to the places for sunbathing! It's fun and encouraging how these brave girls fight for equality and stereotypes braking. They said what Brigitte Bardot was made for us is now lost because of the cell phones on the beach.

good late morning - had a hair cut and color appt and now I feel really good. No symptoms so that is good. Watched the USA defeat England 2-1. It was so close it was nerve racking. That penalty kick save by the American goalie was just amazing. But it is so disheartening to see women being criticized for celebrating. It seems that men can be on no must not do that as a women. Makes me so mad! Went out for dinner with my girlfriend and her daughter. It was nice. We ate outside and that was great. My town had 4th of July fireworks on July 2 and made me mad so I did not go. Our town made some excuse for it to July 2 that involved safety. But still fireworks belong on the 4th. I guess I will be watching Macy's on my TV. Watched my new favorite show Songland. It is just amazing to see them create songs. This episode was about selecting a song for a new movie Hobbs and Shaw. I like the song they selected. Cool thing is that the song is immediately available on AppleMusic. The show has done so well that new artists have signed on and new shows back soon.

Chris sorry fixing the photos took so long. Cant you use autocolor in photoshop. I use it when I need to correct. The cages of people are disgusting and for any one who claims otherwise has no feelings. Our lawmakers need to be voted out and we need to elect people who take the serving their constituents seriously! I can understand the negative but you are doing something by speaking out! Please take that to heart!

Felis I love your long posts! Do not feel they have to be short! And yes we have to take care of nature first. But it is so hard when the developing countries want to come into the 21st century (for example - we need the Amazon jungle as 20% of the worlds production of oxygen comes from there but the Brazilians want progress and for them they want the land). We can only do our part and for me that means cutting down on the use of plastics. I hate water and all I like is water in bottles and I need to find a way to do better there and we do recycle but is that enough.

Waving to all!

Another late pop-in today. I have been listening to some of my music as I scrapped... it is helping to lift my mood a slight bit. I am sure that after mid-July I will be in better spirits. Knew the first 2 weeks would be hard to deal with. So I am either scrapping or reading a lot to keep my mind occupied.

Was over at Facebook this morning to try to upload a few layouts... but it won't be happening today! FB is having technical problems so that most of the newer photos since last evening are not there... and it wouldn't upload any right now. <<< sigh >>>

Another HOT day... high 90's so I am trying to stay inside. So have to do my errands, etc in the early morning before it is too hot. Have had heat exhaustion a few times so am more prone to over-heating if I am not careful.

Sorry but will have to skip personals until I get into better spirits.
