    Last day of the challenge today. I've got all my one-time challenges done and made some progress every day, but didn't always get everything that I wanted to.

    Just a couple days left in the challenge, but I'm going to keep up the changes and effort.

    And we've got a fire burning up the Chumstick. Hopefully, this isn't a preview of the upcoming fire season.

    It's hot outside today, but I closed all my windows before leaving for work, as well as closed the blinds. It's still warm in my apartment, but not too bad. I just need to wait for it to cool back down tonight...

    It's been good to have the reminder to be conscientious about trying to avoid disposable coffee cups and ziplock bags. Hopefully, I can keep it up.

    Coffee, why are you so tempting? I forgot and used a disposable cup when I went to a coffee shop today.

    I never really knew or thought much about how recyclables are sorted. It's pretty cool.
