Anatomy of a somewhat bad day.

Awareness brought the realization that the power had gone out overnight. Fortunately, I had set my phone alarm and left it plugged in so I was able to have some peace of mind. Power did come back at some point prior to wake up.

Work. Dumb. I think being out for three weeks shielded me from the change happening because I've been walking around numb and frustrated with all the goings on.

Also frustrated and overwhelmed with the state of the house. Clutter everywhere and not enough energy to deal with it.

Self/Mom/Wife balance is currently precarious.

I miss cooking. And baking. Can't wait to teach Olive.

Olive giggles made the day so much better.

Civic duty.

Almost thirteen days of jury. Thirteen. Sitting on a criminal case of murder. Trying to remain detached has become a good challenge. Thankful for this system, even if it's not perfect.

May showers

Jury duty

Of all the luck. I didn't have any biases during the pool questioning, so now I'm sitting on a panel for a two week trial. Oy.

Gardening.

It's a work in progress. But, a dream made real.

Much like the monkey.

Zucchini is growing. I think the leeks decided not to. Sigh.

Growing veg.

Finally. After many years of wanting and months of planning: garden.

Sara and D came over and were able to put this to bed. Ha!

Followed by a trip to pei Wei.

Hope to have a veg party soon.

I miss

Drinking lots of red wine.
Baking all day.
Sleeping all night.
Taking long showers.
Running in the morning.

I love my little monkey.
Can't wait to do most of these with her.
