Bees & Bears

a late birthday lunch date

David was under the weather for a bit & had a few lie-downs while plowing through the Henry Huggins audio collection.

current book situation / revamping a couple recipes...

Edie was one of a few students selected from her class to go to the Moose Jaw heritage fair for her presentation on Viola Desmond.

grocery pickup + bubblegum / James & Jordan

Asher baked a cake. Some sort of sour explosion candies on top.

David cut the bowl of strawberries & also cleaned off every stem.

Edie & Lily's latest acro move

making herself waffles / trying out some fake nails

got ourselves a ping pong table for downstairs - pretty fun so far / a tire incident on the road

dishes time with dad / 'how's your heart?'

"I thought maybe it was shifting hormones. Lack of sleep. Anxiety about the future of my work. Anxiety about the rising cost of literally everything. I feel stuck, paralyzed. So I pivot to rage cleaning. Declutter my house. Bake banana bread."

"I am not magically better. Two hours alone did not heal whatever little hinge is broken inside of me right now. I still don't know what I'm looking for."

"Here I am, shining a light on the cloud sitting in my brain... anyone else feeling a bit anxious, a bit restless, a bit untethered, a bit sad, a bit lost" ?
