Day 23

What an excellent day all around!

Well - terrible night, to start with. Back ache, toss and turn peak, awake all night. 2 hrs max early morning rest.

But then - all up from there! Therapy session - another excellent one for the books. I dont know what he does or how, but his words make such a difference. Gratitude flood.

Then - convinced boy to finally take the afternoon to bathe floof balls! Woohoo! Clean children. Hairy. Poopy. Chaotic. But clean. 

Then - washed dog dishes, brushing session, reswept hair. 

Back ache intolerable, popped some pain meds and slathered tiger balm knock off. Anticipatory Adele and shut eye before SS session. Almost didnt go. Then went. 

What. A. Resounding. Success. Better than expected. I did good. Could control thoughts, and mostly words. Good reception too. Mostly. Way better than expected. Overall feel so much lighter, freer. Relieved. Almost joyous. 

Now some late night eats, some wind down tv, then bed. Then 3 days of free long weekend days, with no chores, no pressure, nothing. Glory glory. 

(Can only go downhill from here?!)

Day 171

Early start. Walk, lake, kayak, sunshine after ages. The kindness of weather gods and people who cater to those that need it with pancakes, burgers, potatoes, popsicles and spicy margs. No one over heated, no one got bitten to bits, although two of us got overstimulated, one with fomo, the other with exhaustion. I will remember it for so many cuddles and so many moments of precious love and belonging. When we dropped the leashes and went inside the cottage and closed the door and still he stood his ground and watched and whined, certain in his assessment that he knew he held the cards. When he got off beds and set aside cooling mats and comfort to sit by our side and be within scratching distance. None as special as spooning in a queen bed at a log cabin enveloped by the gentle hum and soothing breeze of oscillating fans, moths fluttering in the semi darkness, a little puppy heart beating in rhythm against a squished arm, breathing in the dusty scent of his warm double coat and listeni...

Day 21

Started thinking this on the walk. Thought I would write it then. And make these be a collection of scribbles through the day that I publish at the end of the day. But ofcourse I didnt, so here is the recap. Every single day when Crae goes for his walk, he is so intentional. So decisive. Knows exactly which way he wants to turn or which neighborhood or street or bush or field he wants to explore that day. Ofcourse he is also constantly stopping to smell the proverbial roses and open to changing his course depending on the path that smells more interesting, so there is something to be noticed about the way his explorations are equal parts intentional and spontaneous. Dang, so many things to emulate with this child! In other news - good spirits, good energy, frankly some good deep sleep. My brain on almost 2 back to back days of decent sleep. OCDd the judgy santa markers. Cleaned the kitchen. Decided to treat myself to an afternoon movie - today's feature, Wodehouse In Exile, a remin...
