Happy birthday daddy. He would have been 99 years old today. He never seemed to age when he was alive. I can imagine him at 99. Still as mischievous as ever with that smile that said everything.
I baked a chocolate sheet cake this afternoon to take to the party. Brought home over half of it.
Went to a friend’s house for a party this evening. It was a beautiful day to sit out with some friends and enjoy the evening. They even hired a live band to play after dinner. I enjoyed the evening but came home when I got cold. I have been cold all day and once the sun went down I really got cold and had to come home to warm up.
I took a bit of a nap in my chair this afternoon. I woke up early this morning and couldn’t go back to sleep. After sleeping most of yesterday I was surprised I had gotten any sleep last night.
Did some laundry today but not much of anything else. Tomorrow is a stay at home day and I hope I have some energy to do more.
There were lots of friends I knew at the party tonight so it was fun to visit with them. I wasn’t in an outgoing mood tonight and couldn’t think of much to say. I haven’t spent much time with other people lately and I think I have forgotten how to do small talk.
Still feeling a bit weird. Can’t figure it all out yet. Feeling disconnected from all that I knew. Yet still connected too. Weird! Things will sort themselves out as I get used to this new energy I am in.
Grateful for an evening in the country with friends, grateful for a chair nap today, and grateful this too shall pass.
