Sat 20 Jul

Nice long 10-hour sleep, but the last hour was less than satisfying. Dad noticed that I was cuddling in to my blanket (which felt wonderful to me) and thought I was cold, so he turned off the fan that was blowing the lovely cooler air across the bed. It quickly became much less comfortable so that I had to throw off all covers and really couldn't settle back to comfortable sleep. Then I was quite annoyed that after half an hour of this, he got up. I could have put the fan back at that point, but it was only half an hour from the time I usually get up on Saturday so I didn't want to settle back into deep and comfortable sleep just before I should be getting up. The end result was getting up at 7 am in a less-than-happy mood. It's slowly settling, but not the greatest way to start the day. Day has improved. Walked to the Farmer's Market to buy some goodies. Clouds moved in before the walk home, but not as yet seriously threatening the clothes on the line. Lunch is a decadent combo of soy shake, local blackberries, half a raisin almond caramel tart from La Baguette, and a little piece of Amish rhubarb crisp. Hey, it has 3 kinds of fruit, must be a healthy lunch! Did Eucharist minister at a Newman wedding this afternoon where about 80-85% of the guests weren't Catholic. Tom was a bit frustrated because no one knew the responses or sang except the handful of Newman "plants" who were helping with Mass duties. Grandma was looking good today. Stopped for ice cream on the way home. Will go for a hike at Mead Wildlife before eating leftover chicken with peanut sauce for dinner.
