 It has been such a strange day. Good and bad. Mostly I’ve been so tired and that’s been frustrating. I need to lose some weight and see if I can get a little more energy. I’ve been needing to take lots of rests today. 

But I’m other news Madi is at the hospital having her baby!! It’s taking a long time. They are inducing her, but it’s not in any rush at all. Things are moving slowly and mom and baby are still doing well. She may be in labor for quite a while apparently. They do things rather differently now! My kind has been there in Idaho. Wondering how she is and what’s going on. Also our sweet neighbor Brett Bullough passed away almost exactly 24 hours ago. He graduated as Karen put it. He was a great man and he is now free from the dementia and the shackles of physical imperfection and mental impairment. I am so glad I know the Bullough’s and hope I can be a little more like Teri. Had a good talk with Karen today. She’s been through a rough year, but she’s doing okay right now and is excited about venture. Got my INR tested and it was pretty close to where it should be. Got crickets and a collar for Finn. Did a bit of laundry and dishes. I ate a chicken bake for dinner and watched Dan in real Life for my movie night. Took care of dolly and hung out at my moms house for a bit. Watched two episodes of the crown. It’s very interesting. Great actors too. I am thankful for this day and the time I’ve had with friends and talking to family and my myself and with the cats. I’m thankful for family nearby. I’m thankful for the closeness of friends. I miss Ryan and the boys so much. Glad they’re coming Ave tomorrow. Tomorrow I will clean and watch Clara for just a bit and try and do a bit of wallpaper if I can. And now to bed.
