And then the heat came, so I can't go out. I finally went out in the evening when they say it's cooler then, and now it's "only" 27 degrees. But they say you can't get vitamin D from the sun in the evening, so it's not good.
The funniest thing about the heat is of course that my feet complain that they're freezing. I've been wearing thin cotton socks instead of thermal socks and wool socks. Sick. I guess I have to buy pycnogenol since many people claim that it can help with blood circulation in the legs. I used it years ago for endometriosis.
One night I saw an alien in my bedroom by the wardrobe. I was terrified and my heart was racing. It's nice to know that according to a recent study nightmares shorten the lifespan.
Nothing will come of this anyway, since I've been stressed all summer. My jaw is in the wrong position all the time. What am I stressing about? At least about health issues and my writing. That's sick, too.
I realized that I don't get much vitamin C from food. Of course, I take a vitamin C supplement every day, but still. My diet is so one-sided these days. Of vegetables, I mostly eat carrots, and sometimes broccoli less often because it's more expensive. I've been eating kiwis now, but they're bad for my tooth enamel. I used to eat strawberries, open-field cucumbers and watermelon in the summer, but now I can't when I'm even poorer. I don't care about cooking, and I try to get by with as little as possible. I cook some frozen vegetables in a pot, and I prefer to cook meat in the oven. If I did it in a pan, I would have to watch over it, no thanks.
I've been trying to write and edit my second novel in July. It feels like an endless swamp, because only about half of the text is even somewhat in chronological order. It hasn't progressed as much or as well as I had hoped. And I've even cried when I got to a certain point in the editing process, and LibreOffice closed itself without saving. I usually save often, but not that time. And the closing wasn't caused by Libre itself, but by my mouse, which likes to do its own thing and act as it pleases. My nerves are just going 24/7.
As the anniversaries of the cats' deaths approach, I've been crying. A year ago, they were about to die, and I, an idiot, didn't realize anything. Even a year without cats is so terrible that I can't bear it. Luckily, there are no old and sick cats suffering from this heat.
Is there life after Dreamlight Valley? I've spent 175 hours of my summer on it, completely addicted. But I have to stop when I finish all the friendship quests and there's nothing left to do. I could get more things to do by buying the DLCs, but of course I won't do that since I've borrowed the base game from the library. I do dream of a capybara... a big guinea pig, which you get in one of the DLCs.
The trip to Lidl was a success because I got the clothes I wanted, namely cycling shorts and sleeveless tops. I was pretty sure they wouldn't be cotton, but luckily they were. The cycling shorts were an older batch though because they were on sale, only 3.23 euros. There were no linen tops in size S, so I didn't buy them. But I was very disappointed when there was no sugar-free milk chocolate at all, I'm afraid they've stopped making it altogether.
