Feeling a little down today for some unknown reason. Can't figure it out. If I'm down or just feeling reflective.
Chloe is recovering quickly and she and Jake can't figure out why they can't play together--has no idea she had surgery yesterday and could pop wide open! She moves her pen all around the kitchen! And she knows how to do it!
Bowled today. First game a 162--then the rest was downhill but our team took 3 games of the 4 so that's a good start. Remodeling on the bowling alley makes it interesting every time we go to see what progress is being made.
One of the gals on my team loved a bracelet I made and wanted to buy it but is unwilling to pay the price that it's worth--even though it's Austrian crystals and the materials alone cost at least $30. But that's the way of hand-made things. They're not really appreciated. The colors are beautiful though.
Lunch at Johnny Carino's--good food. Big chopped salad.
Stopped at the bead shop and saw Jenn and her staff all of whom loved the bracelet but I was disappointed that Jenn didn't want to put it in her showcase. Oh well. I still want to make another.
Came home and rested for a bit and then went with Dad out to medicate Sugar. We totally didn't communicate and things did not go as well as we'd like. But the critters are wormed and Sugar's ears were taken care of. We tried to give her additional treats after we put her back in the pasture but she took off as if to say, "I've had enough of you guys!".
I played the new game and when Dad went to his meeting, started organizing my bead station. There's so much I want to do but I really have gotten to the point where I don't know what I have so it's way past time to organize and figure it out.
Tomorrow kind of looms. Need to work on Sugar's ears again and will probably work out in the garden again--but it's still supposed to be pretty warm. But I can take anything for an hour I guess.
That's about it...nothing special today.
Have repeated Hannah's response to Megumi about how she doesn't know how long it will take to remember to take care of Iko! So cute!
Reflectively,

Mom,
I hope it is reflective. I have had some dark days but the sun always seems to come out again, even in the rainy Pacific Northwest.
I am looking forward to meeting Chloe. I bet she will grow to be a great companion for you and dad and Jake.
I would not worry about Jen not displaying the bracelet, after all you are the better cook.
Communicating with dad could be like communicating with me. I can be a great listener when I am mindful and interested in the conversation and I can be the worst listener when I am distracted or concerned about other things.
When I was on Recruiting duty I found that if I wanted to communicate with an applicant I had to find a way to get them involved in the listening process.
Love,
Jordan
