birthday time
Emma made me breakfast, I made the coffee. Almond butter on our home made bread with fruit is my favorite. Emma gave me 2 cards with frogs and one with a sea monster. She knows me so well.
We went to the final concert in the park in the afternoon. On our walk we ran into our friends. 🙂
Present with a pretty paper flower attached to a barette. Super cute!
A friend brought roses and cupcakes. And we had a bottle of prosecco.
The next day we went on a date in our neighborhood while Emma stayed home. Its a whole new world to be a part of now that we are parents who can go out alone!
lately in July
Feeling better these days. I nap in the afternoons sometimes but feeling that I have much more energy than before. Last month at this time I was still experiencing major fatigue. I would never know if I would be too tired to go through with plans made. This month feels so different. I am not managing exhaustion from previous days but just the moment I am in. I can handle that, it makes much more sense. I still fall asleep after every shower but its progress!
Black eyed susans in the gardens.
Visited a beautiful Morrocan store on Piedmont ave.
Emma organized this drawer for me.
Drying out this years straw flowers on the balcony.
Got myself a watch as a birthday present and it arrived sooner than expected.
Moved furniture around in the living room again.
new chairs
We have had our table for five or six years now but we always had a long bench that was sold with it from Ikea. It is incredibly useful along with the matching stool. We have used them all over our apartment. I eventually decided that I wanted a chair with a back rest, especially during my months with long covid and picked out chairs that fit just right. They look great together and are very comfortable. 🙂
summer concerts return
The Oakland municipal band concerts have returned to the lakeside park after a two year hiatus. We will be there every sunday from 1-3pm this month!
