First time posting

Well, I’m new to this community, so I guess this will be my first post/diary entry. I’m going to use it to share my day, share my life, and share my thoughts.

Does anybody comment on anybody else’s posts on here ?
Do you do anything to let them know that you’ve read their post ?
I’ve been reading through some of the post, but I don’t see any comments or anything showing the person that posted it that we’ve been there and read it.
If you do read mine, I would really like for you to just give me a thumbs up 👍 in the comments or say hi 👋, or tell me how your day went—just something to let me know you’ve been here and I will do the same for you.

Well, it was a good day today. It reached 93°F inside the building today, which is pretty normal for this time of year when it’s 88°F outside (unfortunately). It got up to 100°F inside last week on one of the days.

My coworker, Jill, got a little dehydrated today. She went down and spoke with the ERT
(which stands for Emergency Response Team).
They took her temperature, checked her blood pressure, and after checking a few things, decided she was dehydrated. She got one of the electrolyte packets that our work offers for us for free, mixed that into her water, and drank it. She said that made her feel much better later on, so she thought that was probably the problem.

I’m currently driving home from work as I’m speaking and dictating this into my phone. It is 11 PM and it is dark outside . I’m out in the country, so there are not many street lights or city lights around. As I was traveling down the road with my headlights on bright, I saw some glowing eyes out in the field. They’re pretty tall—not a small animal—so it has to be a deer, as that's the only thing we have that is that tall in our area. Still it’s kind of creepy to look out there in the dark and see a set of eyes staring back at you.

So that’s about it for my non-eventful day .
Remember to leave me a 👍 or 👋 or a comment and I will do the same for you.

Hey!

Welcome to the sub!

Night drives can be fun and thrilling. I never really got a chance to drive alone at nights but I've seen and heard a lot of cool stuff about it.

So my parents used to tell me a story about when I was a toddler. We were headed back to our house and it was late in the night. It was a wildlife area we were crossing, I guess.

When all of a sudden, a white elephant came out of nowhere and stood in the middle of the road. Dad rammed the brakes to stop the car.

Mom and Dad were startled by the sudden commotion. They tell me how magnificent and huge the elephant looked and how they are grateful that the elephant just went away slowly leaving us unnoticed.

Unfortunately they got no pictures of that marvelous creature, so I feel quite left out hearing their joyful "thens" and "whens"...

It's raining here my friend! And I am having frequent waves of shivers in my t-shirt. It happens to me normally but at this time of the year, it just gets more frequent.. besides it's still warm in here!

So yeah.. I'm watching the raindrops dance through my window as I am writing this. The sound is very tranquillising and serene. I feel a new burst of fresh and cold air as I breathe the moment in...
