… is what I didn’t get much of last night due to the heat. Tonight, much like last night, it is almost 10 pm and still over 80 degrees Fahrenheit. I do not have AC in my room, so I was not able to get to sleep last night until around 2:30am.

With a good night’s rest comes a refreshed feeling in the morning, or the primer to your day so that you are ready to energize and execute. Laying in my bed last night, I realized that it was going to be a while before the temp hit a threshold allowing me to no longer consider it bearable. A shower helped cool me down and I was able to get to sleep around 3am.

With the exception of when the heat that is hotter than three rats making whoopee in a wool sock, I have been sleeping well. I am glad that the trauma does not haunt my dreams. Instead, it does the opposite and drives me to do better and try new things every day.

My therapist is due back from maternity leave in August — and we’re going to have lots to catch up on. I am in dire need of a cooling shower and a good 8 hours of rest.

I hope you all slept well. Have a great day.
