AM- woke up a little after 6am (PDT) to hazy blue skies, wind out of the north (to bring the smoke back), 68 (F)degrees, and MEDium pollen. Husb and Canoe were up several times in the night. It feels like there is some sort of a *change* in the wind….heading into fall. The temp is forecast in the 100s today, but then cooling down into the 80s and then the 70s over the next 10 days…

AM- had a lot of trouble getting to sleep, so woke up late at nearly 7am (PDT). Gotta do some final prep work for the girls’ visit today, and I think was/am anxious about that, and how Canoe will greet them after not seeing them since Dec when Boo died. Also, I’ll be going to back down to Portland the day after Labor Day (Mon) to help start granddaughter to middle school!!!!

AM- woke up at 5 again, even tho I couldn’t manage to get sleep until nearly 10:30 last night.😒. I need my 8 hours, so this is not the best. After seeing the kiddo onto the bus this morning, I am planning to drive an hour north to check in on my mother in law. And, bring her some groceries and some boxes for packing.

AM- trouble going to sleep again even tho I was super tired. The room above me “welcomed” a new set of customers that sounded like they were stomping around all night😵‍💫
Woke up before 5am, and they were STILL stomping around🥴. Makes me wonder if *I* sound like that to those below me….🙄However I do try to “pad around” as carefully as possible….

AM- went to bed late last night, due to having a late Friday with the girls. So, woke up this morning when the stomping overhead began, and pried myself out of bed at nearly 7am, when my caffeine-deprived headache demanded I get tf out of bed and drink coffee😵‍💫

AM- woke up around 6ish to hazy sunny skies, 48 (F)degrees, and LOW pollen. After nearly 8 hours of solid sleep, I feel *almost normal,* post travel, finally. Now, I have 2 days to prepare for husb’s stepmom and her friend to arrive enroute to a family visit north of us. Also, today, my dear deceased stepdad would have been 89 years old. He died 10 years ago…

Noonish- stepson says he was verbally assaulted by a customer last night in the drive thru where he works as a barista, so he is pretty traumatized and won’t be mowing this week. We’ve told him to come over and debrief with us, so he’s got support. Poor kid….why do people have to be such assholes to service providers😖

"Every world spins in pain. If there is any kind of supreme being... it is up to all of us to become his moral superior. Vetinari/Pratchett"
Why do people have to hb such assholes? Not just to services providers.
Who ever did that to him was probably frustrated with himself and aspects of his/her own life and took it out on your stepson because he can't really do anything in return.
That's the way the world works I guess.

I hope he'll be okay.
