Today was the eclipse! We had plans to go to the zone of totality, but I was just too sick to be able to do that. So we stayed home and watched the partial eclipse from our driveway.
It was very cool to watch! I lay on the grass at first, but all the bugs crawling on me got to be too much. So then I got out the folding camp chair and that was perfect.
I don’t think Hestia had any idea what we were doing outside in the heat for 2 hrs LOL!
Of course Brad took lots of pictures, but he has narrowed them down to about 30 of them. I’ll post a few of my favorites below, but here is the link to see all the pictures:

When I woke up this morning, I was feeling a lot better. But after 2 hrs of sitting outside in the heat, I was feeling awful again. I guess I overdid. Still, not as bad as my birthday (I think that was the worst day). I did call my psychiatrist, but he hasn’t returned my call yet.

The eclipse hides behind some clouds for a bit, but streams of sunlight are radiating out from the cloud in a very dramatic fashion
Looks like a perfectly comfy way to chill out while not feeling well. Other than the heat you look quite comfortable!!!!!
LOL thanks!
nothing much happened here, and it was pretty cloudy, but the light did shift and “get weird.” I did see one of these back in 1979 as a fifth grader. AMAZING. glad you all got to experience it, and hope you get some answers today/feel a little stronger 😀
Thank you! I have a birthday party today so I am just trying to take it as easy as possible to save up the spoons for it.
