This was almost a no-shopping day. At least, no shopping while I was downtown, but I got in a walk around the park while I was there. I ran an errand for Pip again to pick up parts for the garage (I went directly from downtown, but it was still about an hour drive round-trip). I got to mom’s just a little bit later than usual.

I hit Price Chopper for mom, and while I was there stopped in to the hair salon to get more shampoo. I did a load of laundry, hand-washed dishes, cut up chicken for the dogs’ meals, and scooped kitty litter. I grilled baby back ribs for Pip’s supper.

I keep forgetting to mention that the deer have already started to eat the pumpkins! Deer, they're not ripe yet! Pip had to put cages around a few larger ones to save them for us, lol!

I read more in Amelia Peabody.

Temps started out at 57.2(F) and reached 83.8.

Today was a hard one. I ended up taking the day off because the anxiety and depression hit hard in the wake of the airport sale news. The lack of sleep, the uncertainty, the way it was announced - it all caught up with me.

But I tried to take care of myself, even if I felt a bit hollow.

📚 I curled up with books and started gently planning out the rest of the year’s reading challenges
🧼 I spent the day focusing on soft, non-demanding self-care (blankets, quiet, no pressure)
📝 I wrote some very self-indulgent tennis dads smut - and honestly, no regrets

It wasn’t easy to find glimmers today. But they’re there. And I’m proud of myself for looking.

I drove mom to her chemo appointment. Before I left to pick her up, I hand-washed dishes and scooped kitty litter. I hand-washed more dishes and showered after I got home. I started the next Amelia Peabody mystery and finished the Kindle cozy I’d started yesterday.

Temps started out at 54.3(F) and reached 82.2.
