Just another day in the life

06-13-23 Congratulations Mia!

June 13, 2023


Today’s work was a little frustrating and I am concerned about Mom as I got the notice from the health portal about her hip x-ray but she hadn’t told me she had fallen again, before I saw her on Friday…. She says that she doesn’t remember falling and couldn’t remember why the notary is coming tomorrow when I called to remind her. The problem is I have been working to 7 or 8, coming home to make something to eat and comfort Missy and then it is too late to go see her. Missy is not eating much today which I am keeping an eye on. She just sits wistfully looking out the front window or meows at the door. I need her to eat so she gets her pain meds.

I got home in time to watch Amelia’s (Mia’s) graduation from Capital High School in Olympia Washington. It was live streamed on Facebook which I cast to my TV, and the family here and on Salt Spring Island all watched and chatted together. Mia’s mom is Margot, my son-in-law Roger’s sister and someone who has been a friend for many many years as we worked together at Mouat’s when we both lived on SSI. She sent this message:

Mia earned the gold cords, a big scholarship, and also graduated with her Associates degree from the community college at the same time 😁 🥇 ✨ 🎉

I am so happy that the gift card I sent for Mia’s upcoming adventure at Montana State University arrived today and she will get to open it tonight when she returns home. That was some awesome service from the MSU bookstore, I must say. I was glad I reached out to Mia’s dad, Rob to let me know when it got there.

I think I may just head to bed now, the next two days are very busy and I need to be rested.

I do love the treats blooming in my garden and arriving in the mail. kayak time soon!!
