08-30-25 Sawyer the motivator
I woke up sometime after eight and was heading to make a coffee when I got a text from Rae to call her when I woke up so Idid right away FaceTime her. It seems they had planned to head to Creston to get fruits and vegetables, but remember that Sawyer had a party for the afternoon and could I have him dropped off just after 10 and bring him to his party for 130?
Of course, I said yes, and just adjusted my schedule for the day which had involved going into work. When he arrived, we worked together doing some pretty solid chores. We took out all the garbage, including the litter and seriously clean the litter box and surrounding area. Then he scraped the old non-skid stickers off the bottom of my bathtub I scrubbed and clean the tub, grabbed a shower and then we put the new stickers on. I think they are super cute.
Next, we emptied an entire closet of storage items and sorted all the Tupperware to make sure it had matching lids, etc. Any of the offbrand named items went into the to go box and some set aside to post for sale as they are a little lunch boxes so it is a good time of year to sell them
I made us some Annie’s shell pasta and tuna. Well he played a little bit of a little big planet and then I drove him to his party. It was up in Spruceland. I have seen the sign before but never been up in that area and it is quite lovely. The family that was hosting the party invited the entire group going into grade 5 at TM Roberts French immersion for a pre-school starting get together.
Once I dropped Mom off, I headed to the office and worked until I got a text from Rae that they were not going to make it back in time to pick him up. I picked him up and brought him back to my office where they arrived 15 minutes later or so with some peaches, corn and cherry tomatoes for me.
He is such a good little guy and there’s two weekends in a row now when he has been helping me to get motivated to do the things that weigh heavily on me. I may book him again soon.
I stayed working at the office until a zoom happiest hour with Rotarians on both sides of the border occurred. I enjoyed meeting the two people that I didn’t know and chatting with Steve and Joe. Apparently it is every Saturday night at 5 o’clock pacific time. It started back in Covid and has continued and I hope to drop in fairly regularly.
I came home and had a short visit with Tracey before settling in with a dinner of corn on the cob and cherry tomatoes, and watching How to sell drugs online (fast). It is a quirky show that I am now into season four of on Netflix.
