Welcome back and happy Tuesday! Thankfully things weren't as slow and boring as the previous week. We got to enjoy a holiday, feel refreshed by some nice fall-like weather, and had a lot of fun hanging out with good friends.
Here's what it all looked like:
Day 247- Monday, 9/4/23
Happy Labor Day! We enjoyed a nice quiet day grilling some good food and drinking some good drinks at home. It was actually a bit cool out so not our typical Labor Day heat which was refreshing and nice for a change but not exactly good pool weather. Later we finished watching this action-packed series with a great cast.
With the long holiday weekend gone it's always nice to have the yummy leftovers to use when you return to the rat race and can't find the energy to cook after a tiring day at work. Also related to dinner here is another small milestone for John--this past weekend he started sitting at the table in an actual chair instead of in the wheelchair only needing an extra cushion for some padding. The cat and I sure don't miss that wheelchair.
Day 249- Wednesday, 9/6/23
Wednesday at work was brutal and then when I got home it still continued for a bit so this afternoon's fall pick-me-up treat was just what I needed to keep me going plus it was free with reward points--can't beat that!
My old and huge jewelry box no longer works on the new dressers so I ordered a newer more modern and compact one that fits much better. I was happy to find it had been delivered today. Hopefully soon I'll find the time to transfer my loot in there. Then later, down in Fullerton at night, Brandon texted me a picture of his first attempt at making orange chicken with rice and it sounded like he was quite pleased with the results. Yay for him!
It's been so nice out and is even starting to feel a bit like fall. The plants are happy too and have started blooming again after going dormant during the excessive heat in August. It was pleasant spending some time out here in the yard after work and a good way to unwind from the week. TGIF!
Day 252- Saturday, 9/9/23
Today we had some friends go wine tasting with us at our local wine collective in the Old Sugar Mill. After, back at our place, we all had dinner an enjoyed some more fun. John grew up with these people in the bay area and they've stayed close friends for all these years. They've been wonderful offering so much support and continued help with John's healing over the past 18 months. His spirit lifts when they are around.
Enough with the play, today is all about catching up on chores starting with the laundry but also enjoying another beautiful fall-like day.
That's it! Hope to catch you again next week.
So great to see snippets of John's progress each week. Glad your temps have cooled down!
