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!
The topic for next week’s Fit Fit Friday – Five great running or fitness movies. Feel free to write about this or any fitness topic you’d like. We hope you’ll link up with us!

Nice that you are all living together again.
That’s an interesting map of your routes!
·
Chicago is a big city! It is cool to see it on a map like that and see the areas I’ve run in.
·
Your street run/walk project is a fun one! I would even call it a “quest.”
That sucks about the credit card- I agree, it’s SUCH A HASSLE to get things switched over.
Glad to hear your sister is with you! Sounds like it’s a winning situation for everyone.
·
I like that word!
·
It might be nice to have some company with your sister living with you! Your run walk app sounds like fun inspiration
·
I need motivation to get me outside. Now I have the perfect plan to do it.
·
Ugh to having your CC stolen – such a hassle!
So nice that your sister’s now with you!
·
Yes, it is nice. We’re together but also separate. We each have our own space.
·
How nice of you to help your sister out with rent and utilities, and how wonderful you’re all under one roof now!
I’m sorry to hear that your credit card number got stolen. That’s always such a hassle with updating the new number, etc.
Happy Independence Day!

That was another reason why I needed the basement to be done soon.

I hate when my CC number gets stolen. It’s such a huge inconvenience. I hate the heat too. I’m always so hot and sweaty and miserable! Here’s hoping July is great for you, too.

The heat sometimes gets me in a bad mood too.
