After “sleeping”/not sleeping overnight at A’s, I was a zombie.  The rest of the family had plans to go to the RenFaire, so predictably, Y decided not to without letting A know, K/S had forgotten after weeks of planning, but managed to rally late, N was up early but didn’t feel like going, and half of A’s costume had mysteriously disappeared.  It would be funny if it weren’t so par for the course.

They eventually got themselves there, meeting up with Stacey and S, and Jess and family.  I gratefully went home to bed and slept for hours, through all the usual angsty texting back and forth.  How did they live back then without smartphones?!  Probably just killed each other with leg of boar.

It was actually chilly out, and warmer inside!  I love it, mostly because I use very little electric at home this time of year, but also just because.  I was emitting steam this morning in the garden!  When you realize it’s not our job to “clean up” i.e. ravage and commit creature genocide, which only makes things less sustainable for next year, it frees you up to just admire the natural changes at work.  I do compromise a little and manage it, since I’m going for a mini-MOBOT after all.

Get a last look at the sukkah, before it comes down.  🥲
