I've spent the last couple of day not feeling good. Yesterday I went to the store to pick up medications and also bought a roasted chicken, and some baked beans and sauerkraut to go with the hot dogs I got for the Sparrowhawk on the last big shopping trip. When I got home, I considered going for a walk in the beautiful weather, but I just couldn't do it. I told the Sparrowhawk I was thinking about taking a nap but didn't know if that was a good idea. He said, "The fact that you're even thinking about it means you need to do it!" Truer words was never spoke. When I get to the point where I say out loud that a nap MIGHT be a thing, it means I should have been in bed an hour ago. So we both took a nap and it was a really, really good idea. But it still wasn't enough. I wanted to go to bed early. It was a great cool night for sleeping, and I actually slept for 8 hours on top of the nap. I'm feeling slightly better today, though still not at the top of my game.

Today we participated in a drive-by goodbye to the ministerial intern who worked with the UU church. She's graduating and will be working as a chaplain, her first love. It was unexpected painful to drive past and see faces of people I care about and miss, but not to be able to sit down with them face to face. Very sad. We sat out in the backyard for a couple of hours. The flowering shrubs perfume the whole space. I'm not sure what they are. I thought they were box, but now I don't know, and will have to do more research.
