That's like here. Mid-August and summer is over. It's going to be 46 tomorrow night.
Nah, it's just a cool wave... we are only hitting highs of low 80s this week which is like 15 degrees below the norm. I will take it though.

Yours looks great to me.

Crazy to see those 35 degree spreads every day, I like that about the west/desert areas, at least it is often nice in the early morning. Here it's more like 10-15 degrees from the low to the high. Really depends on time of year though, winters in the 40-55 range aren't bad here.

That sounds awesome. I hate having winter in the morning and summer in the afternoon on all but the hottest days. 75 morning and 85 afternoon is great. Weather-wise I'd be happiest with Hawaii. Expensive, remote, and few jobs :doe: so it's kind of like NY except for the glorious weather.

I was backpacking in NH last week and then chillin' at a cabin, kept internet/phone usage to a minimum which was nice.

Adding in more veggies to see if the fiber helps, and Gonna try to do a shot of apple cider vinegar twice a day. If I’m still fucked it next week I’m gonna make a doctors appointment just to make sure there isn’t something else going on.

Had the ACV too close to my breakfast this morning and it made me puke that back up, so that sucked.
Maybe try some real, plain Greek yogurt? Lots of active cultures in there. If possible, find a small Greek or ethnic grocery store and buy it there. Their Greek yogurt is likely home made without all that added sugar and shit. To make it more palatable do what we Greeks do: buy a small jar of Greek honey and maybe some nuts and add it to the yogurt. It's :muah: and super healthy.
My go-to add-ons are:

Greek honey
walnuts
currents
a couple of prunes
cinnamon
flax seed
fresh blueberries

Makes a super healthy and surprisingly filling breakfast. I usually have it with juice and covfefe and sometimes a multi-grain roll with a slice of cheese.

Another more bro/ :massles: friendly way to ingest is just throw in a scoop of your favorite whey flavor and mix it up with a cup of Greek yogurt, mad protein. I often do this and freeze it for half an hour for some "ice cream".

Yeah good call with the yogurt for extra cultures. I’ll grab that and some kimchi as well. Maybe a fiber supplement too just until I get back to solid :poop:

You'll notice several of my ingredients above have fiber, like the prunes, blueberries, and currents. And IDK, do nuts and flax seed have a lot of fiber?

Also, before the :wap: jokes start, yes, I fucking love prunes. :aintcare: They're just dried plums and all sorts of dried fruits are :megusta:

It's 115 here for the next 7 days minimum. 90 degrees before sunrise. Pretty toasty.

Yeah we have some some monsoonal moisture locking in the heat, Airboat style. It's just nasty.

We are getting our 401K match back in January 2021, it's been suspended since April due to the 'VID, which is :rolleyes: given the company is moving more metal than last year.
