4:04 am I awake with a start as my CPAP machine suddenly cuts out. I can’t seem to focus enough to figure out why, so I cast it aside and eventually fall back asleep. In the morning I read that it says the tube is blocked. It is not but I take it all apart and clean it and am hoping for the best tonight.
I work half the day and then zip to the office on my bike to sign the amended contract. I joke that I have now moved to a full face mask for Covid protection. Everyone seems in a better mood. I think unrest and the unknown was causing stress to many. I return home to Diane and Zoë and their dog Layla with take out lunch and we have a picnic in my yard. That was a nice treat. I am tired and it is hot so I relax inside for the afternoon.
At 6 we gather at a distance to celebrate Gene having turned 13 this past week. Bevies and Cake and an overwhelming amount of company. Really it was just the usual pre Covid bubble but it was a lot all at once. Everyone was respectful and Gene loved the personalized journal I got him from Wonderbly to follow up on the previously given Mophie for his phone. He came to spend the night as he will help me level the ground to put up the pool tomorrow. He’s a good kid and his grandfather will deliver the tools we need.
Before we could play Little Big Planet he had to finish and upload his final assignment of his Grade 7 year. It was fun to have our mini celebration. We played for a bit and then off he went to bed.
I awaited Jake’s arrival from Vancouver. I had set up my Airbnb space for him. We sat and had a good catch up on his new job and living situation and he was the first to try the Raspberry Rhubarb Crisp hot out of the oven. Gene and I plan to have it for breakfast.
I forgot to share last night another accomplishment in my circle. Shea (Diane’s step-son) got his degree and it came in a graduation kit in the mail. Disappointing but pretty cool he got the hat and all.
