More Rain Dumped...

 

It poured over an inch more rain last night.  We're near, if not over double the monthly rainfall.  That left this morning dark & hazy.  I doubt there will be any sunlight today, just a harsh glare through the clouds.  Upside to this, is the temperature should be lower.

Not much going on here.  I've somehow hurt my left hand.  It was sore most of yesterday.  It's still a little sore this morning.  Hopefully, this will calm down.   I really don't need another health issue.

That's it for this morning.  Take care.

Hazy Meh...

 

Another June is being wasted by damned clouds & storms.  This morning has been aggressively hazy.  The neighbors were loud this morning & the humidity is still high.  It's supposed to storm more tonight.  Like we needed that.    

June 2026, you are sucking.  When did this month become nearly the darkest of year?  There's more light later in the day, but most of it is still dreary.  

Besides waking achy & dehydrated, that's my gripe for this morning.  Take care.

Could've Gone Better...

 

This crappy 2026 Spring continues with more haze, drear & storms.   It's gotten hot, but any light has been fleeting.  This muggy, dark mess sucks.  It rained more last night.  A little more & it'll double the monthly rainfall average.  

Neither of us felt well yesterday.  I wound up forgetting something we planned on doing.  It'll have to get handled this morning on top of all the normal Friday stuff.   Way to go me, make more of a mess for yourself.

I need to get around.  We have shopping & errands.  Hopefully nothing else pops up.  

Take care.

Seasonal Wrap...

 

The solstice is near.  Weathermen started Summer at the beginning of the month.  Spring is leaving for the year.   I think it's time to take a bit of an assessment.  I'll try to be honest.  This Spring was not fun, good or helpful.  It was dark, & trying.  

The weather last year was no better, but we seemed to be in a better place.  There were plans, ambitions, goals...  But all that's pretty much gone.  It was always a possibility that would be the way of things, but for a while things had traction.  Not trying to point blame here.  I'm certainly not helping much.  But, I don't see things making a come back.  

Things started fading late last Fall.  There were reasons.   A different tactic was tried & seemed to help for a bit.  Then that was gone too.  By deep Winter things had fizzled.  I didn't say anything for a bit, then later I did & there were acknowledgements.  By February, as far I could tell, it was all gone.  Spring brought more issues, challenges & not much else.

Things could change, but I think that chapter's closed.  Again, it's not like I was doing much.  Maybe The Sundays had it right, "Here's where the story ends."  I don't know what this Summer holds.  I doubt it'll anything good for me.   The season will start with no real plans on my part, just a fair certainty things will only get worse.

Brighter, Warmer & Steamier...

 

It finally got brighter yesterday, but after all that rain, it's a steam pit.  It'll take a bit for all that moisture to burn off.  It won't help if we get a lot more rain.  

It's bright again this morning.  That made it easier to wake up.   It's still very muggy.

I tried a different kind of store bought chili.  I usually make ours at home.  This stuff was awful.  I tossed the leftovers out in the yard.  It's still there this morning.   Usually with an hour or so, whatever I toss out is gone.  It's almost gone by the next day.  That means, no animal traipsing through my yard wanted anything to do with that stuff.

That's all for now, take care.

PS - Keep forgetting to say that the rose of sharon bushes & tiger lilies have been blooming for about a week.

Dreary, Wet & Muggy...

 

The area monthly rainfall averages were met & surpassed by the 1st week of June.  There's some local flooding, but I haven't seen any postings about anything serious.   That could change with more rain still in the forecast.  

It's still dreary & muggy.  This isn't fun to wake up too.  It makes getting around hard.  This time of year, putting clothes on after a shower is a sticky process.  

There were articles, mostly over things I've posted about a lot.  Some posts seemed too in the "proof-of-concept" phase to be worth it.  At least there was something.

I'm trying to do better this morning.  These skies aren't helping any.  It's nearly Summer Solstice & it's still this dark.  Summer used to be my reprieve, now there's nothing.  

That's all for now, take care.

It's Trying...

 

2026 is turning out to be a bad year for me.  2025 was hard & it crashed into this year.  The expenses kept coming.  It's stayed dark & dreary.  Very little is moving along like it should.  Everything is just trying.

It's June & it's still dark.  Things that should've been settled months, perhaps years ago, are still ongoing.  New crap keeps popping up.  I can only juggle so much.

The 1st week of June has been rough.  I've been in panicky, anxious & mad.  It's looking like another dark Summer.  I've spent a couple of days so wound up, I thought was going to be sick.  I never was, but the queasiness & nerves just wouldn't settle down.  

I've been diagnosed with HIV, had pneumonia, COVID, a stroke, etc...  But so far this year has feels like it belongs in the top 3 of my worst years of the 2000s.  What's bad is, I know it could get worse.  I'm just trying to get through this & I'm not doing that very well.

Take care.
