Cooler weather is here with it just below 100, and the evening is very pleasant. I am also feeling my spirit lift a bit as the weather becomes more agreeable. I have started walking occasionally with some church friends when I can. They walk about 2 miles and early, but now it will be more pleasant.
I went home to Idaho Falls, Idaho, to witness my beautiful niece Brianna, get married. Spending time with family was enjoyable. I helped a little, but not as much as planned. My mom fell the day before the wedding. The beautiful thing about it was that I went to the hospital with her and could be there to help her. Dad came through with patience and caring for her. She is still recovering but in good spirits despite the pain.
The wedding was beautiful. My parents couldn’t attend. It was really nice to see my family there. Everyone pitched in to help out during the very nice wedding. It was great to meet the family she married into as well. I forget how we love and support each other. I also got to see two wonderful friends while there. We have been friends for a long time. I admire both of them a great deal, and we had a wonderful time catching up. While we were there, we met a fellow Skyline High school friend who happened to be there at the same time.
When I came home, I adopted a black 5 month old kitten. My roommate and I named him Buddy. He is very lively and full of energy and can be sweet. He will be my cuddler when he calms down a bit. My older cat is not too happy with me. They are starting to get along a bit better.
Buddy has changed the routine for sure. Two cats to feed and adjust to, one who wants to play continuously and the other who is sullen like a teenager. It has gotten easier now that we are two weeks in. They both slept on my bed one night with only a little hissing from Nala. Buddy was active around 3:30, so he got kicked out for a bit.
My roommate has been struggling, so he will be here a bit longer. Things always seem to go awry for him. We do our best to support each other, and thankfully, I still have my job. It has been a journey for sure. Life is not always easy, but it has moments of joy that I treasure. Thanks for being part of that.
Take 2 of Life
