Yesterday was an odd one, to be sure-- dryers and coop fires, o my! (And the pool is up!)

Some days are just so busy and oddly fraught, y'know? 

Yesterday included having friends come help mow and set up the pool (those are among the good things), and also included the dryer fritzing, the pool filter gushing water, a myriad of small annoyances, and the neighbor's chicken coop being a fully-involved structure fire that ended badly for them (and the 53 meat bird pullets). 

At the end of the day, once the pool was up and not leaking, the pump was functional, and the dryer repair scheduled, it all sorted out. The fire department did a great job putting out the blaze, but the smoke was pretty awful, no lie. Today, I'm sore and tired and my lungs are gargly. I need a day of some rest. 

It's Fathers' Day, and that brings me to the point: G wants pancakes and sausage for breakfast. I will gladly comply, especially since I'm not rushing out the door to get to in-person church. I'm defrosting a large London Broil steak for dinner, too-- we'll put that on the grill. He and I both need to slow down a little. 

The to-do list is always with me. I may wash the kitchen floor, but that won't take much, and it's not something I have to rush to do. It will be nice to just wander through one day, assuming that is the way the day unfolds. I plan to take G out for coffee this afternoon (Starbucks has a BOGO deal, and it'll be a nice treat).

I hope to be ready for a busy/ super hot and sticky week. Getting the pool up and functioning was a major "must do" yesterday; Holly wants to go swimming ! (Though it's 37 degrees this morning-- )

Have a super day, and hug dads. Yours, someone else's-- hugs are good medicine.
