Hello, friends. I’m back in the desert after nine days out-of-state with the fam, and it feels good. Fun times were had, and the vacation rocked spectacularly. It was damp, though! My partially collapsed lung had somewhat of a time in the humidity, but I did well with my two inhalers. I only really needed the Albuterol one during one of the three hikes we took.

We went hiking and kayaking, and we did a lot of walking. We got three-day passes at a gym that offers Les Mills, so we even worked out a couple of days, humidity notwithstanding.

My lung is not in charge. Bronchodilators are.

Here’s a few vacation pics:

At the end, we did most of what we’d hoped to do. The key aspect and best part of the trip was FAMILY. Both of our families are from the Aloha State, and it was magickal getting to go there all together.

Speaking of magickal, Happy Summer Solstice to you! Here in the Sonoran desert, summer solstice marks the year’s turn into monsoon season, so we’ve got that to anticipate. My scaly son Geronimo is gearing up for the summer rains, and I will be ready to experience it with him. Expect desert tortoise pics here in the near future!

Enjoy your solstice weekend, friends!
