I know there isn't much to see here, but if you look at the upper left area and see the reddish blur, that's a bird. A bird that was ATTACKING a squirrel! There were actually a few birds in on it, and the squirrel was going crazy. They were all running, and flying, and leaping around... I have never seen anything like it before.

Well after one day of rest and less stress, a very long day waiting for the fridge guy to come fix our fridge ended with no one showing up and then when I called I was told her forgot to send the guy to our place. We had zero time to get food so we rushed to little markets around here so we could get by for a few days. Unbelievable. Oh and this is Reg's corn. It is loving this hot weather!

Yesterday was the first day I have had off since I can't remember when! I went to the gym, read, even did some art and signed up for a couple of new classes. I am excited to spend some time filling my well. Justin and I went out for a short walk and were surprised to see these cones set up for filming - in our neighbourhood! Hard to imagine. Still, pretty cool.

This has been my view as of late. LOTS of resting going on.

Been a weird day. Woke up and couldn't see the mountains because of all the smoke. I couldn't smell it but my eyes wouldn't stop watering when I went out to get food. I should have stayed in but I was out of everything. Now that the moving has been put on hold for a few months I gave myself a day to rest a lot. I also used the Instant Pot to help make food and keep things in the apartment cool. It was nice to have a day that wasn't in crisis mode.

After a clear dose of apartment hunting in the summer in Vancouver we have decided to stick with the new lease for six months and then move. I think this may have been one of the longest days of my life.

We had another wonderful birthday celebration for Shannon yesterday! A great meal, wonderful snacks and a beautiful cake. Dad also took us through his picture-and-map journey of Italy, which I always love. Thanks for being such a great hostess, Shannon!

Considering the stress we have been under I wanted to make a special dinner for us so I created this creamy chicken and mushroom lasagna rollup dish. Pasta is my total comfort food and I have a ton in the pantry that I would prefer to eat than pack up when we move so... Lasagna for the weekend! Which I spent completely alone at home working on purging stuff, prepping articles and making delicious food.

I am finally on the other side of three weeks of busy and several weeks of sick too! Even though I was so tired, I was glad that Justin and I went out for a long, long walk and then had a great meal at a local favourite! I am going to have to make sure that both of you get to experienced the fried chicken here. Wow!

The big event yesterday was closing and celebrating another wonderful season of Journal Club. Deer was our animal guide and wow, I don't think we've ever had so many sightings. It was a complete joy to experience her intuitive and gentle ways.

Yesterday was all about creating the final lessons for The Art of the Altar. I think about how most people create their class in advance but I always feel like I want to stay connected to the energy of the students and the moment. Maybe it's the performer in me wanting to have opening night!

Fun times of the day was definitely hanging out with Suzie for Horror in the Afternoon! So much fun to be able to watch movies together :)

Suzie

Had an awesome day watching a spooky creepy movie with you too Shannon and hanging out. It rocked! And we even got to do show and tell for each other as well. Awesome.
