Tuesday: walks, grass

walkitoutR. cut the grass today. It had rained, which meant he had to wait a bit. It’s very lush.
I walked with M., early. I walked again after.
I need to start turning A.’s noise machine off earlier, and opening her curtains to try to reset her clock a bit earlier.
R. worked on painting the porch, but the rain hit a little earlier than expected. It was mostly dry, and mostly survived. I got a great pic of him grilling some chicken leg quarters. A. had one and I had most of one. They were really good. I’ve been mostly eating cabbage, rice and mushrooms, with assorted flavorants (garlic, onion, lemon zest, lime zest, cilantro, ginger, etc.) for a couple days, so chicken was downright exciting.
A. gamed with friends.
I took a nap AND a bath. It was a glorious day.
Yesterday’s phone call never happened — I messaged and didn’t get a response until after I was asleep, and the response was a one word explanation of why the call didn’t happen. Bummer, but not a surprise. It’s good that my friend can communicate clearly and in the moment. That’s huge progress, compared to years of me not really having any idea what was going on and whether it was something I did (it wasn’t).
Today’s phone call also not happening, which is a bummer, especially since that call not happening is because other people have behaved badly in a way that requires my friend to do a ton of extra work. OTOH, I will get to bed early again, so there’s that.
Since the rain happened early and it has cooled down a fair amount (73!), I’m thinking I’ll get another 1 mile walk in before bed. ETA: I did the one mile loop twice and chatted with my sister.
