I marked all the yoga poses in the book for balance practice. Now all I need is air conditioning so that I don't melt.

A friend on Facebook mentioned the Tori Amos song "Winter," and I think that I want to work on it for singing class. I ordered the sheet music for Little Earthquakes.

I was unable to fall asleep until 5 AM because I was too hot to sleep. Then I overslept. Today is cooler, thank goodness.

Still nothing from the complex management about my air conditioner. I also called and left a message.

The therapists got back to me with questions, which I'll answer tonight (done). Both therapists have openings.

A maintenance guy came over asking questions about my air conditioning. He's new and is trying to catch up on delayed maintenance. Yay. They're going to ask the people who fixed the a/c last time to come back out.

Hmm. I just found a place for Mom if she needs it in Savoy, which is south of Champaign. They have garden plots! Mom loves gardening. It's both Independent Living and Assisted Living.

I was looking at bread machines on Amazon Prime Day, and I found one that I like. After hemming and hawing, I got it. Here comes fresh cinnamon-raisin bread! It automatically will add the raisins!

Zara has been hiding in my closet because she disapproves of the heat. (I leave it open so that she has a place to hide, so I don't mind.) She did stick her furry nose out for a moment and ate a little, although she's off her feed, due to the weather? I'll keep an eye on her.

Full moon. Heh.

I did my self-compassion exercises. I need to remember the exercises for the next time that I make a mistake. There are a lot of harsh people in the world. I don't need to be one, especially to myself.

I did a Calm meditation session. It helped, but I didn't relax as much as I do on the Smithsonian sessions. There's something about the voice of the guy who leads the sessions that is very relaxing.

I think that I'm going to go to bed early and catch up on my sleep in the relative coolness.
