This has been a very quiet stay-at-home type of day. I did accomplish doing two loads of laundry and have it folded and put away. That’s about all I have done today.

Kathy was ambitious and got the yard mowed this morning and is out weed eating now. She loves the heat and being outside and working in the yard. I’m grateful she does as I don’t.

Tomorrow I am meeting a realtor at 10:00 at Tagen’s house and will get that house listed for sale. After that I am meeting Ellexia for lunch and then for our pedicure and manicure date. That will be fun!

I’m anxious to hear how much the realtor thinks she can get for the house. Real estate prices seem to continue to climb. Not sure how young families can afford to buy a house these days. Trusting the house will pass inspections and we will have a quick and smooth close.

I’m grateful I agreed to have surgery on Sophia as her plugged sweat gland is already filling back up again. She has to be at the Vet before 8:30 Wednesday morning for her surgery. She should get to come home Wednesday late afternoon if all goes well.

I’ve taken my blood pressure a couple times this weekend and it is still a touch high but not dangerously high like it was in the doctor’s office. I will keep an eye on it and if it doesn’t go back down to my normal range I will call the doctor in a few days. It has been a stressful couple of months and I haven’t been sleeping well. Trusting I am on the back end of things and that things will calm back down again soon.

No plans for the July 4th weekend. I don’t enjoy fireworks and neighbors have already started shooting them off. Plan on staying home and turning up the music to drown out the bangs.

Hard to believe the year is almost half over already. The first part of it went very slowly but time seems to have sped up lately. May and June came and went and in my mind we are still in April. Yikes! My relationship to time is off these days.

I sent Senator Moran an email today. Not sure it does any good to send them but it does make me feel like at least I did something. I had to quit reading about the Big Beautiful Bill when I heard that one of the provisions is that those on Medicaid have to reapply every six months. I also read that if the bill goes through as written it is forecast that close to 50% of nursing homes will close. And then what? All so the rich can have lower taxes? I had to turn it off and not go down that rabbit hole. Worry doesn’t help me change anything and it causes me to drop my own vibration. I have to believe love wins or else what is the point?

Grateful for a quiet day at home, grateful for clean clothes, and grateful Kathy likes to mow even on hot summer days.
