For dad’s day we had my mom’s side of the family here at the house, and a friend of mine came to visit. First let me say that the weather was awesome these past few days. It was so nice to be outside. But the “aunts” were here. My mother is a triplet and the youngest of the 3. Her ‘older’ sisters are very loud and quite domineering. Poor mother looked like she was getting railroaded. Dad stayed safe and grilled ( great, Dad’s cooking on Father’s day ☹ ) But, mom doesn’t entertain masses often.. if ever.. so Bev and I helped her out. Like I said, in the last few years I have evolved into a little bit of a control freak, so I asked Bev if she knew what the plan was. There wasn’t one, so we organized a system and my friend graciously agreed to join the working force with us. We divided vegetable chopping, dish doing ( my folks don’t have a dishwasher ☺ ) burger making, paper product dispensing, food layout, etc for mom. We had a nice little thing going and mom was happy to know everything worked ( yippee) So although a get - together with the sisters can be an event, this one ran pretty nicely.. with some help.
Sleeping. Ok, I am a goddess of sleep. It’s not a trait I am always proud of, but it is one of those things I accept and take comfort, until now. My last nights here in the “line state” have been not overly restful. I can’t get to sleep. My brain is cranking about stuff I thought I had handled ( or handled as well as I could) and it is not satisfied. Crap. I try to keep busy during the day to preoccupy myself as well as poop myself out, but when then head hits the pillow, it is like a psunami that has been building waiting for me to stop. Not sure what to do about it, not sure if it will go away, but…. I sure hope it does.
Otherwise I am enjoying the conveniences I love in the Springs so much.... Panera and Starbucks ;-)
