07-25-21 Happy Birthday Jake!
I must have really really needed sleep as I didn’t wake up until 10:49 am. I then had a lot to do as I had guests tonight, so I got dressed, processed the blueberry order I got and headed outside. When I opened the door there was a strange cat who promptly decided it should come in and check things out. I mowed the lawn, cleaned the pool and trimmed the willow tree before coming in to clean the bathroom and be ready. The random hollyhock is getting bigger and more in the way. I was having a beer with the Neighbour when James and his three year old daughter Willow arrived. I got them settled and they jumped in the pool. After a while I asked if I could invite Sawyer over to play with her and he got dropped off. I had a Hello Fresh meal that I was going to cook just for me but it was a salad and I knew it wouldn’t last well until tomorrow so I asked if they would like dinner too. He was very surprised and happy. I added blueberries to the meal to make it even more delicious. We all had a nice meal and then took the kids across the street to the park for some swing time. James is from Manchester, living in Calgary for the last years. He has a very thick accent and we had some good conversations. His car is hysterical. He got a good deal on it because it had been damaged by hail.
Today is my son Jakes 27th birthday. I sat outside under the tree and made a birthday post on Facebook. Seems I got very emotional and just had a good hard cry. Not sure when I will see him next. I am tired and worn out. My hips are hurting. I think I need to bite off smaller chunks of work to protect my health and body. My throat still hurts as well. I am really going to have to focus this week to get all that needs to be done, done without errors.
