I'm up visiting Mom and the family for the memorial Day weekend.
Mom and I spent the entirety of Friday talking and cooking together watching a little political TV, and we probably literally talked for about 8 hours and now I've got like a sore throat?
Probably because on top of Friday, I had the *most social* day yesterday which was Saturday then I've had since before the pandemic.
Started the morning having coffee with Mom and checking in, then I went to Estelle's bakery and had brunch with Janice, and we talked for almost 4 hours. A girl at the bakery had the cutest halter top, and I stumbled over my words to try to tell her so. And then just later We stepped in to help a younger woman feel empowered to move seats when a homeless man was yelling angrily at/near her.
Then I went to the Bennett's, and Tina and me and a little bit Jeff talked for another 3 hours! Oh that was lovely.
After that I moved over to what I initially thought were going to be small plans with the Wilson family. It was a shockingly nice surprise, when not only Sarah and Ian, but Christyn and Brian, Headra and her boyfriend (his name I forgot), Kat in from Boise, Mario and Anne, and finally Janise and Jeff! Again! So there was like 14 people at dinner. Oh my heart. Wow. Also, really good indian food: I should get the name for my sister Jen, that's in her neighborhood.
And now here it is today, Sunday, excessive heat warning in Sacramento, and Mom and I are scheduled to go out and visit my sister and my niblings and spend time there and check in! I might get to swim in My sister's pool!
I'm sleeping on Mom's dusty guest bed, my dust allergies and I're probably going to suffer a little bit for that, hahaha.
And it is quarter to 8:00 in the morning because Mom has got this ridiculous singing clock that starts singing music on the hour every hour as soon as the sun comes out enough to trigger its light meter. There's no escaping it, I had forgotten that honestly! So maybe I might need a nap today, though I'll probably power through.
I haven't decided yet if I'm going to try and fit more people visiting in on Monday on my way home. Gretl suggested I hit up the Pedrick Road fruit market, and if I do I'll ask if she and or Casey want to come have a hug and hangout in the parking lot.
Or I might go over to visit Lefty and Shade, who are Burner friends who own a house a mile from Mom's. Excellent hugs there!
People who want to see me! People who are happy to see me! Such a delight! Such a joy!
