Dad, the boys, and I picked up sticks and branches in the afternoon. We made piles for Wayne to come pick up with the tractor and after that I’m not sure what he did with them. I’m blanking right now what we even did in the morning. The boys have been sleeping in and the adults have been too compared with our normal waking time. I had more of a slow morning writing in my journal, reading, and doing floor exercises.

The other kids were still at camp for the day. I feel like I have been pretty patient and understanding about them doing their young adult/teenage away from home things but I did start to get a little antsy in the day and sent them a mom text about needing to be considerate about other people’s families. I was also asking what their plans were and if any of them were planning on being there for any meals, and if so to let me know.

I called my grandma this evening, as it had been a while again. I wanted to call her on my grandparents’ anniversary on the 19th. She and my grandpa would’ve been married for 72 years this year. I thought of him this past Friday when I was at work, I can’t remember now which resident it was, or what I was doing that made me think of him. Elianna is out with Miles for his last youth group meeting before going to college.
