It’s been a lovely Mother’s Day. The best thing is that it FINALLY stopped raining and we saw the sun!

One of my best friends had a small brunch, for her family, my son and I, her mother, and her mother’s best friend and best friend’s husband. It was only 8 of us. My friend is such a good cook. I used to be, but I just don’t do that much cooking anymore because I’m usually eating alone.  So I suppose I can cook, but I don’t bother unless my son is around and I have time.

I think I finally got over the stomach bug. No stomach cramps today. All the brunch food settled. Finally, I had a cup of coffee that didn’t make me wish I hadn’t. 3 weeks I’ve had this. 4 days of chicken and rice soup, lol. But it worked.

My friend who made brunch and I talked for like an hour on the phone later today. She was talking about my house in FL, and was I going to plant fruit trees, like lemons and limes. And I thought, Oh yeah, how cool would that be, to have a lime tree outside my door? Getting pretty excited.

As soon as the sun came out today, I got a notice that someone wanted to come see the house today, at 5:30. My son was flipping out, he didn’t want to have to take off for an hour. I didn’t either but hey, if they wanted to see it, we have to let them. Then they canceled it, and reset it for 1 PM tomorrow, which was much better. No mad rush to get the house in show condition, though, it’s pretty close all the time. Since we didn’t have to leave the house, and get it ready, I went on my deck and took a nap in the zero gravity chair, with the sun on my face and meditation music on my earbuds from my phone.

Boy did I need that.

Last night I fell asleep on the couch early, and then ended up not tired when I normally go to bed so was up til about 1 am. And woke up at my normal time of 5:30. I so wish I could sleep late but I can’t do it. Once in a blue moon I make it past 6. Maybe when I retire, I’ll figure it out.

Life is good right now. Feeling blessed…..
