Whyever would I feel like I need to write and not get around to it and then when I do make the space to I feel the words disappear? It’s certainly not because things haven’t been happening.
Like being in Katy yielded much connection and after we began driving, I had someone very kind wave me off the interstate to fill my fuel tank! That is such a considerable kindness in need of being reported. Despite it having been two weeks. The time makes me almost doubt that his name was James, but that’s the name my brain logged. He literally was waving at Matilda passing us on the interstate. He slowed when he saw our little “Need Fuel” sign. I motioned I would follow him and he truly pulled off at the next fuel exit. He said he felt grateful to have a chance to see and meet us as the art cars he usually encounters are going the opposite way as him. I think I was more grateful to have the encounter but what do I know for certain?
I did some hunting for an OBD1 diagnostic computer but failed. I didn’t fail to make it to Nola for Junipers 5th birthday party. It was spa themed and quite a good way to be welcomed home.
Whoa yeah, I totally neglected this writing thing MORE! how does I manage that on my conscious? It was easy to ignore with plenty of other things to do, but it was definitely on my mind. It’s been easy to distract myself being here.
I’ve been taking my evening walks and cleaning the turtle house. Doing school work and attending parades, birthday parties, and even the zoo!
I feel like just adding some albums. It’s been much but I’ve been doing my best taking as many pix as I can.
Our poor cat swelled up so badly I ended up taking her to the vet with the last of our cash. The vet said it was either a cat fight that caused the swelling, or the ear infection she found in that ear exacerbating whatever that was. I still have some ear drops to give twice a day but she’s pretty much back to normal!
Parade pix atop! It’s been a blast parading for the Mardi gras!
The kids were so excited to be going to the zoo and having a bunch of friends to play through it…. amazing!
It’s been hot the last week! We’ve had a couple nights tht were close to freezing, but all in all considering the West coast got snow in Southern Cali on the beaches, we have much comfort and cozy being here. How could I not be cozy with sunshine and friends??
We’ve started planning the conglomerate party for Atreyu’s birthday. Turtle and Squid are celebrating their birthdays around the same time so it’s become almost tradition to squish them together. Besides making it easier on me with gathering attendants to make it a party worthy of my amazing child and the adults get a full birthday celebration without the awkward birthday attention. Like a pick and choosing for the adults on what birthday tradition they want to participate in. Atreyu wants it to be Dog themed. I love it!! He’s wishing for science project kits, the switch he still hasn’t received (humongous sigh of frustration and disappointment) Pokemon things and stuffs, contributions to his saving which is now focusing on maybe affording himself the switch so he can then start saving for his pokemon game. It kinda makes me wanna cry, and Aurora messages things like “thanks for not being mad. I’m trying…” and it feels hollow but I want to give her benefit of doubt and love her…..
Jacob and his mom Cora have come for the mardi gras and have been languishing in the warmth of Nola. It’s been great having a friend come and visit me while I’m visiting.
Princess and Reese are also supposed to be heading into town and I’m excited to see them! I’ve been inviting people randomly to try and get them out in 2 weeks for the party, which I know is purdy unreasonable, but worth trying. Worth reaching out and letting people know there’s plans.
I’m in need to leave it at this concurrently. Probably will have plenty run through my mind about what all I missed once I stop, but I feel like better to post than abandon again. considering the next time I may get to it through guilt would be in another 10 days…..
I much hope you’re doing well and have a smile to share with someone
