I can nap just about anywhere, but my body gets really picky about where I can actually sleep, and all the things I need to get a great deeper rest. Nap in a hot car, but absolutely have to have a gale force wind blowing on me at night to sleep. Nap wrapped in warm blankets. Have to have my legs exposed at night or else I overheat. Nap with no pillow beyond my own arm, or whatever is at hand. Can not sleep with incorrect pillows at the wrong neck height. Like what the hell is even going on here? Though i must admit, I usually only nap because my body battery feels as though it has dropped preciptously to zero way too fast and I’m drowsy anyway. Versus going to bed when i am still thinking about work, or tomorrow, or errands I need to run. After having EBV in 2015 I do tend towards physical fatigue even easier than I did when I just had to deal with the malabsorption from Crohn’s Disease. So there is that factor. Something to ponder.
Taking the kids to Sweet Acres this evening. It’s a pig sanctuary. We’re going to visit their two therapy pigs Wellington & Spartacus. My family has gone twice, though not recently. It’s a bit out of the way, off of Vivian Road, but easy enough to get to. It was an opportunity offered to our friend’s son. Yes, that one. The lone survivor of July’s tragic accident which saw fit to take both his mum and little sister. His father has tried to keep him active, busy, and engaged with friends to try to keep him happy during this difficult time. He’s my oldest daughters best friend (or one of the “Tight Five” core group she talks about, plays with, every school day).
Had some last minute late evening projects yesterday, but it has otherwise been a quiet week. Not going to complain about that! Allowed me to do a few things around the house for a change. Domestic Duties Mondays won’t start until all the kids go back to school in September. Plus – new wrinkle, my wife starts her year off officially on September 5th, 2023. So I need to work her continued daily presence into the cleaning schedule too. A helping hand? Maybe, or an additional obstacle to work around? More than likely. Fun times. It is going to be an adjustment. But we got through all of the school shut downs together, so we can figure out a plan for this too. Roll those sleeves up, and dig in!
I have some work to do today, so I best get at it. Ciao Bella! Take care out there on this random friday in August of 2023. I think it is the 18th.
