I am not sure where I stand on the holiday called Independence Day. There is Truth in what that day means for our nation. There is also layers of truths that BLM and other important current events shed light to. But – that doesn’t change the date. So, my focus today is what I did today. While other people were making loud explosions, or grilling out, I had a celebration of my own. I rested. I did some adulting today (not like yesterday), but mostly, I just let today happen. Which, was… nice.

The day started lazily. I stayed up really late (or early depending on the frame of reference) working on Chapter 16 of my novel the night prior. I strolled out of bed, leisurely, if I may add, around 0930 AM. I mean, in an adulting world – that is becoming late. I sure as h-e-double-hockey-sticks was not waking at 6 AM. I poured some coffee and watch Q already about her day. Shortly after a cup, I got a message from someone that they had some Boxes available. Since we are moving, I have been searching for some. Boxes are not hard to come by… but big ones, deep ones – ones that are good for moving – are… So we got in the car and got ’em.

That, of course, was hardest thing that I did today, LOL. We got back and snacked a bit. It was time for a nap apparently. Why not!?! So Q dozed off, and I sat beside her… well and fell back asleep. We got up a couple hours later and I make a Keto meal consisting of one of my favorite combinations of egg and a hamburger. Since it was such a lazy day we watched a show on Netflix and then needed to “do something.” So we went for a walk and I thought that I would share. One of my blogger friends shares her pics all of the time and I was happy to have caught something kinda cool on camera. I thought that a rainbow was neat – but there are two rainbows in this picture. The second one is very faint – but it was present!

We ended the day with packing some boxes at the house. I wrote one of my prison pen pals, Q did a crossword and then I wrote this post. Like I said, lazy day, but it was nice to not have a million things on the old agenda. It is late again, or early, so I bet waking early is out of the question. It’s Sunday – anyways. We have a Zoom call, more packing and get ready for another week.

(It is nice that it is 1205 AM – and the fireworks have died down. The cats can quit being on edge now).
