8/5/24

 Theo, our rabbit passed away last night. Avery woke me up aroun 11:30 pm. She found him peacefully in his cage. This was a cool little being. He was soft and cute. He ALWAYS found a reason to get into the pile of hay you just swept up, or sneak out the door. 

He was almost 11. While it is sad, we are so grateful for the laughs he gave us over the past several years. He was so chill. We assume Phineas is sharing his bed with him again. He was always drawn to Phineas.

I have been noticing that I have become quite forgetful it the past little bit. Today I set my phone down. While I was looking for my phone I must have set my purse down. Then I was looking for both. Ahhhh. I feel like my plate is full and don’t want any more responsibility right now. I wouldn’t say overwhelmed but fully whelmed at the moment.

I am thankful that summer is so busy and it keeps me distracted from Ethan’s issues.

Our friend group was sharing many poop jokes in support of Paul’s colonoscopy. Paul is getting nervous. Apparently he had a slew of projects to do tomorrow night. I reminded him that he may want to stay close to the toilet once he starts his prep. We joked about how this is what we now discuss amongst our friends.  How our conversations have changed over the years.

They started our driveway project. We are widening our driveway, tearing it out, adding a turn around loop and extending everything to line up with our barn. Just those little things. My house was shaking as they were digging up the old asphalt. We had several dump trucks filled with stone. It was so loud! This company worked their butts off. They were so polite too.

Avery made dinner, then we went to her town house and collected more things that she won’t need when she transfers over to the dorm.

Paul burned our brush pile finally. He wants to plant a tree in the spot he had the fire. Avery, myself and 75% of the dogs went outside to enjoy the fire. We laughed at the dogs running around like idiots. Moe really has improved off leash at our house. 

I am tired! Let’s go to bed and be thankful we have the chance to wake up tomorrow to do it all over again. 😊
