I keep hearing about flooding issues in the eastern part of the US. I hope it eases soon. Though I wouldn't want flooding in Czech Republic, I wish we had at least some of that rain. We've been in a drought for a while. If it continues, we may not be permitted to water our shrubs anymore. They were planted only in May, so are in need of sufficient water to root properly and thrive in any way. About 500 were planted. They line ~60% of our property. We've already had to replace about 20 that have died. Some rain is in the forecast, but not a lot. Often it's in the forecast, but doesn't amount to anything.

I haven't heard from my sister. I hope I do soon.

I've started to sleep less lately, but that's good. I've gone from hypersomnia to more normal. Hubby, on the other hand, not. I got him up for breakfast, but he's sleeping again and it's after 10:30 am.

Another positive, for me, is that my appetite has reduced a bit. I'm not consuming weight loss amounts, but at least maintenance ones. I gained 20 lbs (9 kg) since our move from the US to Czech Republic 2 1/2 years ago, 10 lbs (4.5 kg) of which I gained only since our recent move, in March, from the Airbnb to our purchased home.
