Sending hugs to everyone here. I'm sorry I can't respond to some posts individually right now. Hopefully in a couple days I'll be back on track, in that respect. I'm struggling.

Today I have my first therapy since September 2022. It is through an online therapy provider BetterHelp. In addition to once per week "live" therapy, they provide any day texting exchanges through the website portal. I like this feature, and so far my impression is good, but the "live" interaction will be more of a decider on whether we click. The session will be at 3 pm, CEST (Central European Summer Time).

A few days ago, our friend gave us about 1.5 kg of dark sweet cherries from his tree. Then yesterday, our neighbor coerced us into picking and taking about 1.5 kg of a slightly different variety from his. I've already made several things with them and froze some. Yet, I still have 1.5 kg left. I own a small pitter, but it only does four at a time. I'll make more things and freeze more, too.

Luckily in Czech Republic the weather has not been particularly hot, like in much of the US. However, we've had a bit of a drought. When it does rain, it's only briefly. This coming week will be hotter, though. Unlike most in CZ, we have air conditioning in our house. People scoffed at us having it installed, but we'll be the happier for it.
