Welcome to the July edition of the Ultimate Coffee Date hosted by Coco and Deborah.  It’s also time for another edition of Fit Five Friday hosted by My First 5K and More, Running with Attitude, Run Laugh Eat Pie, Runs with Pugs, and me!  

Now, grab a mug of your favorite beverage, and let’s chat!

If we were having coffee…
I’d tell you that someone stole my CC number again.  This person made three purchases on Google Pay (or using Google Pay).  Luckily, my bank was able to issue a refund, but I still had to wait for a new credit card.  With a new credit card I also have to add that new number to my online accounts which is a hassle.

If we were having coffee…
I’d tell you that I received a strange text message from the DMV.  I deleted it and reported it as junk.  However, it sparked my curiosity and I checked online for any unpaid tickets.  It turned out that I had one speeding ticket  from May 1st.  I haven’t changed my address on my driver’s license yet (will be going next week) so it took a while to get the notice forwarded to my new address.  

If we were having coffee…
I’d tell you that this hot weather is not making me happy.  I like it warm and not hot.  My hot flashes are worse in the Summer and it is making me very uncomfortable.

If we were having coffee…
I’d tell you that my sister moved in the basement last week.  Now we are all under one roof.  I am glad she is here and not by herself.  With her moving in, I won’t have to continue paying the utilities and half of the rent in the other apartment.  I know I didn’t have to, but I wanted to help since I knew she couldn’t afford it by herself.

If we were having coffee…
I’d tell you that I am excited to see how many streets I can run/walk in Chicago.  There are many streets in the city and I know I won’t get to all of them.  I am using CityStrides for guidance.  As you can see on the map below, most of my runs/walks have been on the southside of the city.  Since I am on Summer Break and have more time, I am going to focus on the Southwest side of the city (east of Summit, IL and south of Bedford Park, IL).  

I hope July is a wonderful month for everyone!
