On staying cool #sol17

…I missed blogging last week but commented on half a dozen posts. This morning, beginning at the end, I set up and revised my footer. Taking my morning walk late for a day turning hot, I walked close to a mile, caught a few pictures and made it back before overheating.

As usual, the process started with a combination of no idea and too many ideas of what to blog about. Reading the Tuesday guidelines and advisory ("Please be sure any posts you share on SOL Tuesdays truly fit the mission of the Slice of Life Community") reminded me how little my own situation fits the Two Writing Teachers' mission. Writing about my Guerrilla Educationist concept or about #DigCiz would address that somewhat and could segue into other areas, other blogs.

In the end, however, my day devolved into trying to keep apartment and myself as cool as possible. No A/C. Fans, closing windows on the sunny side, drawing the curtains and not expending any more energy than necessary. My mind was on staying cool and quiet, not education or missions, but I did answer a few emails and made my 750Words for the day.

Now after 9 pm, it's finally starting to cool off. I may walk again after posting, enough to make my mile. Guerrilla education and digital citizenship will have to wait for another day.
