Draggy Day

[days_unfolding]

Had my normal breakfast and nap routine. When I got up, Zara was sleeping very deeply. I couldn't see her breathe, so I went over to her to check on her. She gave me a bleary-eyed look that said, "Huh?" I told her to carry on.

Took two naps. I must have needed them because now I feel much better.

Checked my garden while I watered it, and my zucchini has a flower! Come over here, pollinators.

Finally threw wash in the dryer.

Talked to Mom. She's concerned about my aunt. Apparently when my aunt had her surgery for cancer, the doctor told her that half of the patients live no more than five years, so she's concerned about that. I told Mom that my aunt might be in the longer-lived half. We don't know.

Had a pretty loud storm when I was talking to Mom. Zara toughed it out, but Mimi hid.

I think that it's time to go pedal the FitDesk, but Zara's on my lap, and I hate to kick her off.

I'm feeling really worn out. Talking to Mom always zonks me out, maybe because I relax and chill. And she always starts yawning, so I start yawning. I'm going to just make some Ramen and go to bed early.

I'm mulling over what I could sell on Mercari. I do have some clothes that don't fit, but they're clothes that I really like, so I'm having a tough time letting go of them.

Apparently camping is "in" right now. I thought that it was just me, but people are looking for safer ways to travel. I'm also thinking about "cheaper". The latest place that I'm looking at for camping is Pere Marquette State Park. I really want to go there, but hotel rooms are expensive. They have tent camping with a shower, but I'm not sure how quickly they fill up. You can't make a reservation for tent camping. I found a camping spot on private property about 30 miles from Pere Marquette. That might be the best place to stay for leaf-peeping.
