AM- awake and up just after 6am (PDT). Husb’s phone check-in with his mom last night lead to her saying she wants to come live here. So, he didn’t sleep much, and my sleep was restless. Today, he is making the 5 hour drive over to see her. Her cognitive decline is progressing, such that he has been making more frequent trips.🤯😓
Outside is partly cloudy, windy, 60 (F) degrees with MEDium pollen.

Haha, it is an exercise site on YouTube that has a free site, and a paid site (FitnessBlender.com). They have programs of various lengths with videos. Started by a young couple over 10 years ago who live in the PNW. They are on the west side of the Cascade mountains, *not* the east side where I am.😅

  • Reading: The Jungle, (Kindle) by Upton Sinclair, 1906…and, DONE ✅This is a book I’ve only really known about for a few years. It’s a fictional story with an accurate and influential history about turn of the 20th century politics and labor in Chicago’s meat packing industry. I was enthralled, and read it as fast as I could. Toward the end, the main character is redeemed from his criminality and slave laboring, to convert to socialism. It’s well worth the read.

AM- awake after 6am (PDT), after almost 8 hours of sleep, and some more anxiety. No doggo to do morning rituals with. Must finish packing for a travel day to meet up with my daughter and granddaughter in Seattle for the weekend. Husb is driving me there on his way to see his mom. We will take a Seattle detour for a nice lunch at a spot we have not been to since Covid. Then he can leave me at the hotel where I will meet the girls when they get there. Granddaughter is flying to Germany as an “unaccompanied minor” on Sat afternoon.😵‍💫
