Wow, too many posts to comment on individuallly. @BeyondtheRainbow - Sorry about your pet sitting stressig you out. I don't like dealing with chickens either (both sets of my grandparents had them when I was growing up). @Nammu - Sounds like you had a fantastic time with your daughter. @Crazy Hitch Sorry teaching is so stressful for you. I definitely could not handle it. @LadyShadow It's good to hear you're working on moving on from a romantic relationship with your ex to a friendship relationship. Did that app you used to make friends help any? If so, I might try it out too. I had 2 lousy experiences trying to make friends on NextDoor. I thought maybe joining a reading group would help but while they welcomed me, everyone knew everyone and I didn't know anyone and people were talking about what they did all day with work, going out with SO's and all I was was a stay-at-home mom trying to hold things together. So that didn't work for friendship either. Sigh. I only ever made one good friend when I was in college, but she lives in the northeast now or possibly in this political climate moved back to Switzerland as she has dual citizenship. I need to call my youngest sister (the sister who lives nearest to me) and see if maybe we can do something this summer. She's always busy though between church and her 3 daughters with all their extracurricular activities, band practice over the summer and such.

I only had 6 hr. of sleep last night, so I'm dragging a bit. I got up to use the bathroom and then just couldn't fall back to sleep. My day was pretty much as usual, took a good length jog, had a shower & breakfast. Then, I went to Dollar Tree to buy some clear drinking glasses as I have some acrylic paint for glass I want to try out. I also wanted a pencil box to help store my watercolor paint tubes, but they didn't have one. I thought surely Walmart would have one. They are still re-modeling at my local Walmart, eveything is a mess, I couldn't find any pencil boxes and saw a mother & grandmother looking for school supplies and asked them and they said they hadn't seen pencil boxes either! Stupid Walmart! Anyway, I ordered some off Amazon, but I had to end up ordering a set of 4.

I painted a succulent plant, not quite sure how it turned out. It was also my first time using masking fluid on a painting, but thankfully the masking fluid process went smoothly. Tomorrow morning I am seeing the eye doctor and I think the rheumatologist sometimes this month along with the pdoc, so sick of doctor's appts!

Hope everyone has a good rest of their day and gets plenty of sleep tonight!
