I gave myself permission to not come again to my desk final evening (Sunday) with a view to merely benefit from the finish of my weekend/week.
Sunday was what I hoped it might be: a day spent doing a few of the issues I really like finest together with puttering round the home, being exterior, connecting, studying, napping, and spending time with Aaron.
Here is a have a look at some items of my Sunday:
Sunday began early for me and Betty with a drive to Mt. Pisgah to fulfill some buddies at 8am for a protracted stroll in a neighborhood park the place the canines will be off leash if they are often simply recalled (fortunate for me Betty is in that class). It is undoubtedly a favourite place to take Betty as a result of there’s a ton of area to stroll, roam, sniff, and to swim within the river. She will get actually muddy and moist and drained and he or she loves it a lot.
As soon as we received again residence it was time for a bathe for Betty. Again in early 2020 we added this bathe to our downstairs toilet and it is nice for Betty washing. I have been doing this along with her since she was a tiny pet. Her most favourite half is on the finish when she will get out and will get to go loopy rolling within the towels.
Aaron shouldn’t be an early riser (not his first selection) so after I received residence round 10 he was simply getting up and having his breakfast.
After chatting with Aaron about our plans for the day (me = puttering inside/exterior and lunch with Chris and Anna, him = music) I went as much as my workplace to add the images I would taken up thus far and did a bit of portray.
Subsequent I knew I wished to spend a bit of time exterior so I checked on my seed packets once more to create some sort of a plan for myself after which headed exterior whereas I waited for Chris and Anna to choose me up for our lunch.
The lilacs are displaying off.
Anna picked a brand new place she wished to check out referred to as “Yummy Crab.” They do seafood boils and we cut up a shrimp and Dungeness crab boil.
Chris and I had invited Anna to lunch to have a check-in about college and sports activities and buddies (principally all of the issues). It was a enjoyable lunch and I loved the three of us getting the prospect to hang around.
They picked me up of their Tesla (which was enjoyable to journey in to see what it was like) after which dropped me again off at residence. We dwell a few mile away from one another which has made issues fairly simple through the years when transitioning children and dropping off backpacks and giving the youngsters some freedom of motion after they had been youthful between the 2 homes.
Nonetheless loving my home.
Once I received again from lunch Aaron was sitting on the eating desk engaged on music. He is created hundreds of songs through the years and at present he is updating a few of them. It has been awhile since he is been centered on music (as a result of life and children and tasks and decisions) however lately he is been excited to dive again in and has been getting his laptop computer arrange so he can work on it exterior of his workplace (just like the yard, and so on).
Betty took many naps on Sunday. She was undoubtedly worn out from our morning adventures.
Within the afternoon I spent a while planting a couple of of the issues I picked up from Johnson Brothers earlier this week. I like transferring issues round within the yard and attempting completely different crops in new locations. Making an attempt a pair tomatoes on this area this time.
Aaron and I met up in our bathtub within the late afternoon and had a pleasant lengthy soak. We ate leftovers for dinner and watched an episode of the Netflix present in regards to the Chilly Conflict (and the way it pertains to the place we’re in the present day).
It has been every week.
I really like this mission a lot. I really like beginning it and I really like attending to the top. Monday morning all the time feels unusual after every week of this mission.
I am grateful to you all for coming together with me on this journey.
I am going to most likely begin engaged on getting my content material into my album later this week. I like to present myself a bit of area earlier than I dive in to let the reminiscences settle.
