Dandelyon's Worlds

I'm trying to do 50/90 this year, more actively than last year when I signed up and mostly ignored it. It is very FAWM-like, since it's at the same site, and with a lot of the more active FAWMers. The stated goal is to do 50 songs in 90 days, but I'm not at all worrying about the song count. (Especially since the aftermath of Covid is still kicking my butt--I started to do some gardening yesterday and ended up bringing the tools inside and falling asleep again. The cpap told me that between lunchtime yesterday and lunchtime today, I slept exactly 12.00 hours!)

There have been way too many fireworks around here. The noise isn't my issue so much as the huge amounts of smoke from the gunpowder and other chemicals. I always have breathing issues right around the 4th of July, until we have a good rain or three. In better news, we did have a sudden downpour today, which doubtless cleaned the air atm least a little (though I'm expecting more illicit fireworks for some days yet) and had the bonus effect of watering the garden. I slept through the optimal garden watering time yesterday.

(Optimal watering time, when you don't have a seep hose installed, is either well before the sun hits the leaves or after there's shade, as water on the leaves can lead to problems on days with bright sunlight especially if it's hot enough to otherwise stress (or encourage) the plants.) And it was too hot yesterday for me to even think about working out there in the sun.

The stress test went well. I haven't had a chance to talk with the doctor about the results, but the word normal appeared in a bunch of places, including the very important "normal response to exercise". So this stupid on-and-off chest tightness is not an incipient heart attack, and I don't need to fear exercising. I'm used to dealing with exercise and asthma, at least.

Maybe tonight it'll be quiet enough to start work on recording the song-swap song. If it keeps on drizzling, that will reduce people's excitement about shooting off fireworks.
