This morning I was subjected to a lukewarm and disappointing mocha. As many of you know, I prefer very hot coffee, especially on a cool, wet day, so it wasn’t the best start to my day. I completely blame the barista who was focused on other things that could have easily waited. Changing the bed and cleaning out the litter box could have happened after coffee, right?
Sometimes, instead of a packed and exciting visit to Seattle, I have to look for highlights, like admiring my prolific orange lily. Yesterday, after looking at the weather forecast and seeing the rain coming, I rushed outside to mow both my front and back lawns. It was a lot for one afternoon. Today I walked in the rain with a broken umbrella. I finally managed a long overdue get together with my parents’ (and my) beloved former neighbor. At 91 years old, she’s still a kick! I discovered that Season 2 of “Patience” is streaming on my PBS Passport. I’ve already watched two episodes. 🙂 I finished my June Book Club read, “The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie” and I’m still trying to figure it out. Is it satire? Is it supposed to be funny? And have I ever had a prime? 😂 Although I’m lukewarm about this daily minutiae, every day can’t be (or shouldn’t be?) filled with activity and thrilling events.
I did find some eye shadow for Older Daughter’s ’80s themed birthday party; now I need to figure out how to use it. I haven’t worn eye shadow since the ’80s!
This is Sharky’s last week of kindergarten; he’s immersed in all those fun (for children) end of the year festivities, like this color run.
Older Daughter didn’t have such a great time at the Color Run and limped off to her house for some first aid.
This week will get much busier with babysitting and a dinner with my brother who recently returned from a lengthy vacation. I’m still feeling kind of meh about my schedule right now but isn’t that normal for most of us? I find excitement highly overrated. Contentment in the small moments is my preference.
