We keep hearing that a cold front is on the way and that temperatures will be dramatically cooler soon. Cooler weather can't come soon enough for me. It's nice outside when we take our sunrise walk with Dawn, but it gets hot quickly as soon as the sun comes up.
I'm taking my long walk right after breakfast now. Breakfast doesn't take as long these days since I'm not making my smoothie anymore. It doesn't take long to eat a bowl of shredded wheat. I wonder if I'll feel like drinking large fruit smoothies again? It was a total surprise that I suddenly lost my taste for these things. Things change I guess. I made myself an omelet for years. I fixed pancakes and sausages for quite a while as well. Years ago I used to eat a grapefruit for breakfast. I don't even like grapefruit anymore.
I wouldn't be surprised if I grow tired of my long walks someday. They take a lot of time and are often boring. Whenever I get tired of walking I accidentally read an article that extolls the many benefits of walking. It's good cardio exercise and helps prevent bone loss. Walking is much easier on your joints than running. There are so many good things about walking that it's usually pretty easy to convince myself to get outside and hit the trails. It's good to be outdoors. Staying inside can be boring as well.
My editor agreed to make a few changes to my Inspiration 4 article. The changes were minor and mostly involved going back to the way I'd written the article in the first place. I think the magazine goes to press soon, so there probably won't be any more changes. I'm happy enough. Two weeks ago I thought I wouldn't be writing for this magazine anymore. Now it appears that my contributions are still valued. It's good to have a purpose. Not a lot of people read my articles, but writing about space is still a lot better than sitting at home doing nothing.
I've finally gotten everything put away after my trip. I thought that the office would look a little nicer now that the suitcases and cameras are out of the way. It still looks just the same though. I think this office will be permanently cluttered, no matter what I do. I wonder how long it will be before I start packing again. I still have no idea whether I'll be going out to the observatory in October.
I don't even know what I'll be doing tomorrow. Maybe I'll wash the car. Maybe I'll fix something different for breakfast. Whatever happens, I'm sure we'll start the day with a sunrise walk.
