a day full of incident
May. 5th, 2020 08:00 pmThe news of my Da, on reaching their house this morning, was that he'd had a complete meltdown and tantrum on Sunday when Lucia was trying to talk on a zoom call with her cousins. Like banging his head on the wall and crying and banging on things ... Lucia still looked distracted over it, and still slightly shaken and also still kind of pissed off.
I had groceries to fetch so I bundled him into the car and took off across the bridge, headed for points east. We stopped for coffee at Esselon and I was so pleased to see them there I nearly cried - they have coffee and baked goods (implying that Woodstar is also baking at some level) and we visited briefly before I headed out. They are hoping to have the kitchen going for takeout in two weeks which would be May 18. I CANNOT wait.
We dropped grocs off at our house, and Al had a surreal conversation with my Da about Al's hair standing on end. I brought him home again, and visited a bit and then came home and started digging further holes in the garden. I am beyond weeding, and honestly have flown past gardening as well, and have started doing terraforming and pulling stumps. SO many things are coming out. it is gratifying and very hard on my back and legs. My neighbor brought over some asters and 'pie plant' whatever that is - something tall with yellow flowers - and those will go into the excavated holes.
And then, just for more things to do, I changed the sheets on Aerin's bed/the guest bed, and started thinning the herd of weirdly sized blankets. And made supper. I'm utterly beat.
