08-24-25 aching ribs
After all the work yesterday I didn’t sleep comfortably. At one point I got up and took pics in the den where Sawyer and Emmy were sleeping. They went to sleep so fast last night I was amazed
Sawyer was so cute when I got out of bed around 8 and he told me he wouldn’t let Emmy wake me up. I made cheesy eggy hash browns for breakfast. They had fun sorting through my earrings and pairing them up. Rae showed up for Sawyer and I spent time brushing out Emmy’s hair while she applied the press on nails her mom bought her. They are really something for an 8 year old lol. Her grandma picked her up to go shopping for school shoes.
Once everyone was gone I mowed the lawn and tidied up inside. Around two in the afternoon I noticed that my muscles around my rib cage were sizing up. I’m not terribly surprised as everything in the shed was moved out, sorted and put back in, as well as heavy totes from inside the house
I took a long hot shower and an extra strength Advil, but it barely made a dent in the discomfort. Standing outside I heard the click of my gate and it was Diana dropping off a gift she’d misplaced for my birthday. I love it!
At 5 pm I joined the group gathering for Rotary in the Rocks it was outdoor bocce at Colombo and I found myself having a great time in spite of being seized up. It was lovely to chat with Ben and Sven about their immigration experiences as teenagers. Two rounds of bocce was a great deal of fun. And I was sent home with leftover sandwiches, veggies, fruit and peach pie! Lunch for tomorrow to look forward to!
