Locals wake to now-regular smoky skies, w/ golden sunshine combining into a summery haze, as temps stay hot & windows remain mostly shut. Work was endeavored, getting plenty done in the allotted time, zipping out an hour early for personal errands prior to job #2, where martial arts training normally would occur, this evening instead cooking & cleaning into the wee hours. 👨🍳 Podcasts & music, as well as conversation make up the brunt of mental entertainment, listening to discussions surrounding combat sports & rockin’ good bands. Salah prayer times continue giving structure to the day, w/ derived value from each session, as well as appreciation. 🙏 Priorities in the right spot.
Fans mourn the passing of Dolly Parton, & reflect on her contributions to humanity as the treasure that she was. Kindness of character, humor of wit, & renowned beauty.
