I’ve slept very poorly the last few weeks, which has resulted in slow starts in the mornings that aren’t nearly as productive as I need them to be. Despite the slow start, I did get some work done on pockets, paid bills, etc. Tuesday I saw an orthopedic doc to get my thumb looked at. Turns out it’s not soft …
We were talking about a Halloween party Sunshine was going to. Ocean: “I want to go to the party!” Me: “You can’t, it’s just for Young Women.” Ocean: “Oh, so you can’t go either, because you’re not a young woman. You’re an old woman.” Me: “Thank you so much.” 🤦♀️
Monday it was my Monday to drive and I worked on blog post catchup while I waited. I had to take a nap after we got home because I was so tired, though it wasn’t as long as I’d have liked. Afterwards, I cut more leather for buckets and pockets. I ran out of leather, so I placed an order …
Ocean, “Look, I’m Scrooge McDuck!” (because he’s got a cane)
Monday I had tentatively planned to take Max for a walk or run in the morning, but the mid30s temps and a lingering sore throat convinced me to drop the idea.

I didn’t take Max for a walk because it rained all weekend- Hurricane Ian (tropical storm Ian, I think? by the time it hit us) brought wind and rain …
While we were waiting for my brother’s wedding to start, the grownups were in the house or on the covered deck. There were a few kiddos and dogs running around, having a great time. At one point, I looked down into the yard and saw Ocean, just chilling on the grass. No idea why. Also, highly unusual, since being still …
Monday the local schools were out, so there was no seminary, so we slept in, though I wasn’t able to sleep in as late as I’d hoped, especially since I didn’t sleep well that night. As a result, it was not a very productive day. Tuesday was back to our usual schedule of early morning wakeup for seminary, music lessons, …
Most nights River is sure to pray that his pectus excavatum will go away when he hits puberty. We won’t know if he’ll need surgery to correct it until he goes through puberty. At that time, his chest will grow normally, or it will continue to be caved in and potentially interfere with his lungs and heart and need surgery. …
