Thanks for reminding me of Brene Brown. I heard an interview with her last year and I was fascinated by her ideas. I had bookmarked her in my brain (which means of course I promptly forgot about her, lol).
Hope your weather hasn’t been too hot, humid and steamy. We’re about to go into our 4th heat wave if the weather folks are right (3+ days at 90 or higher).
How is this for a prompt reply. Well, it would have been prompt but I’m on the tablet and typing on the screen. Slower than the keyboard.
It is supposed to cool down in a few days. We’ll see. The weatherman changes things each day. We have an ongoing heat and humidex advisory that does not have an end date. We are also in a drought. If they haven’t done so yet, it will only be a matter of days where we have a water advisory but most people aren’t watering their flowers and lawns anyway.
And my bookmarking brilliance moment today? I installed Firefox on the tablet. I uninstalled it today without saving any bookmarks. 3 cheers for my brain. I blame the heatwave, it has melted my brain.
Stay cool.
