I woke up at about 6:30, grabbed clothes, and watered the vegetables before it got too hot; it was already 75F on its way up to 98, the third very hot day in a row. I also took down some trash and recycling, and stood around the garden looking at the sky for a few minutes.
I tried lying down again, but didn't fall back to sleep, which was fine at the time but I was feeling it less than twelve hours later.
I spent about three hours on paid proofreading, in two large chunks, plus ten minutes after dinner to finish the references and "about the author" section. The job was almost done when it was time to get a Lyft to have dinner with![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
cattitude's sister and her husband, and is now back with the client.
We sat in an actual restaurant, and ate dumplings and other Chinese food, and talked about this and that. They offered us a ride home, which we accepted because it was still uncomfortably hot after dinner, even though the first line of thunderstorms had been through; by the time we were home, it was down to 73, so I opened lots of windows.cattitude spotted a rainbow while we were waiting to get into the car, so we took a minute to look at it before getting into the car. The windwos are still open, and I'm listening to the rain.
I have taken advantage of a sale+referral offer at eShakti, and ordered one pretty dress, and one more practical black one. I have no idea of when, or even whether, I'll wear them, but I'd been looking at the website on and off for several days, and the offer expires at midnight. They have pockets, which makes it at least plausible that they won't just sit in my closet forever.
