scrubjayspeaksWe held the memorial for dad. The picnic area we had was farther from the parking than I had anticipated, based on mum’s descriptions, and I sorely (literally) regretted not bringing the handcart. My back is killing me from moving tables and lugging crates of beverages. The weather was perfect, though, and it ended up being a very nice day. We got to see some friends that we hadn’t seen in years, including people who had known my dad from work for sixty-odd years.
We had a troubling amount of food left over, even after dropping a bunch off at the fire station that responded when my dad had his first heart attack at home in 2016. (The firefighters who responded to his second, while he was on shift, and who saw him regularly when he was working, came by the memorial as well.) So I guess that’s lunch, dinner, and eccentric breakfast taken care of for...a while. It’s possible, just possible, that mum once again overestimated how much food to provide to guests on any given occasion. :3
I’m continuing to make friends with the new cat. There was a heron at the park (among other birds) wading about in the pond.
Lewisia: 3 new pieces written
Day job: 34 hours, with Friday off to work on memorial preparations
Crafting: darning more socks, a little progress on the dice bag
Reading: audiobook of The Fifth Season by N.K. Jemisin (started off reluctantly, because that was some grim fare, but got quite into it as it went on, picked up the two sequels as well)
Listening: Watch Me Drive Them Dogs Wild by Merce Lemon (a KEXP suggestion purchased on the strength of “Crow”)
Other: unloaded hay twice
