Dear Neighbor,
Its a beautiful and sunny day out there this morning, if a bit cool. Really high winds are expected this afternoon. I hope we don't all blow away. Once again I have experienced another night without any sleep at all. Oh, I think I might have finally fallen asleep about 5 a.m. but was up at a little past 7 because the cats needed feeding and have stayed up since. I will try to grab a nap later in the morning.
I don't know why this is happening. I hardly ever get a night like that, but two in one week, that is a new record. It usually only happens when I have something really important to do the next day like fly, or give a talk, etc. My anxiety levels must be high at the moment. I am scheduled to give a talk at church a week from Sunday and this has me pondering cancelling it, which is something I really don't want to do, but I just might have to and it is better to do it sooner than later so that they have a chance to get someone else in to do it.

Doug and his family got home safe and sound yesterday. They messaged me last night to let me know. That is quite a long drive, a good 7 hours I would say. They are a family that stops to look at balls of string. That's a good thing. I love that. They spend lots of time doing things with the boys. I think that's great!
Josh is working at a garlic farm this summer that is owned by someone in Kayla's family. He brought me a packet of black garlic so I am working on finding a way to use it that is delicious. I have been told that it tastes like chocolate. I don't know about that. It is supposed to be quite delicious however. It is a fermented garlic product.
I should share some with Cindy. She likes fermented foods.

This move has been really good for her. She has been walking every day, which is a good thing. Tomorrow they have a People's First Pride event down in Lawrencetown at the fair grounds. This is where she was going to sell some of her diamond art. I don't know if that is still the plan or not. She will be coming here afterwards, later in the day, to spend the night. I will go to pick her up. It will be movie night. I think this week we plan on watching The Parent Trap, the one with Haley Mills.
She has a date for her next procedure, and it is not the hysterectomy. It is for a biopsy on the 11th of August. She will be coming here afterwards to stay as she is not allowed to be on her own for 24 hours as she is being put under for the procedure. (Her choice.) I am not sure when they are going to do the hysterectomy.
This has certainly been a rough year so far in many ways. It is certainly a year we will not forget in a hurry as much as we might like to!

Cindy brought dad over yesterday morning so he could have a shower. She doesn't have a walk in shower in her place and it is too difficult for him to be able to step into a bathtub now. I am grateful for a walk in shower and that I am able to share it with dad. He felt like a million bucks afterwards. It is quite a process now because of his mobility problems.
First he has to get down the stairs at my sister's and then into the car, and then from the car into my house and then all the way to the bathroom at the back. I had my walker for him to get from the door to the bathroom and he had his usual walker to get from the car to my door and from my door to the car, etc. After all of that he is quite tired to be honest. Its a lot of work for him.
Today Cindy will be taking him to the mall with his friend Maryann. I probably won't go because of my lack of sleep from last night. By that time of the day I will be really tired for sure and I don't want to risk driving.
I will have to try to take myself to Walmart in the morning tomorrow to get what I need. (dread dread dread) It's the only place I can get the cat food my cats eat, or should I say the cat food that Cinnamon will eat. Nutmeg will eat just about anything. He's not fussy although both of them are not fond of salmon for some reason.

I have to go and renew my driving license before my birthday. I must remember to do that next week. I don't recall having to do that in the past, but it could just be that I don't remember it. Cindy says everyone has to do it every five years. I can't believe that I don't remember that. In any case I must go and get it done next week before I forget. (Which is a real possibility in my case. I have a brain like a sieve.)
I never drove very much at all when I lived in the U.K. It was not something I was very comfortable with. Everything was on the opposite side of the car and they drove on the opposite side of the road. Plus the roads were super busy and much narrower. I have always been somewhat of a nervous driver. I am probably one of those people who annoys other drivers because I stick to the speed limit. I have never liked using cruise control. I like to be in control when I am driving and am not comfortable with my car being in control. I'm not even sure how it works.
Anyways, time to get my license renewed.
And with that I will end this off now. I don't really have much else to say this morning and I am really tired so I will leave you now with a thought to carry with you . . .
A thought to carry with you . . .

In The English Kitchen today, Basil Parmesan Salmon. I couldn't cook myself fish the whole time Eileen was living with me as she can't stand it, so I cooked myself a lovely piece of salmon yesterday. This was simple and delicious!
I hope you really enjoy your day today. I am going to head for a nap after this. Hopefully I sleep better tonight.
Whatever you get up to today, don't forget!
