Doing OK this morning. I slept in until 7:30 AM (late for me), especially considering I went to bed at 9:30 last night. But I was up at 3 AM yesterday morning, so I needed the sleep. I'm starting to like this Adderall I'm on as long as it doesn't turn me manic. It is giving me enough energy that I don't have to lie down and nap every afternoon. Now, it's down to maybe one afternoon a week, and that is when I've had a lot of stress in the morning.
I went for a run/walk this morning, but it was a bit late. I do live near Houston; summers are extremely brutal and hot. There was not a lot of shade and not many clouds in the sky. I went 4.18 miles but stayed on the the block going around my house. Roughly 1.5 miles around the block equals 1 mile. I stayed close because I had no clue how far I could go in the heat. I think I definitely overheated myself, but I really wanted to complete my MapMyRun app scheduled exercise for the day (and I did), but I've decided I will not run after 9 AM again until the weather cools down, or it's evening.
My daughter finished another level in her summer reading program, so I think we will be going to the library to collect her prize. I think that's why she was up so late, so she could get the minutes to finish the 5th level. They can collect prizes for minutes read for 6 levels in all until the program ends in mid-August. My daughter & I may go out for lunch, the 2 of us. Hubby wants to mow, and I have a gift card to Panera Bread, which both my daughter & I like, but hubby is not crazy about.
We'll see. The day has been good to me so far other than the brutal run.
