Yesterday afternoon I didn't sleep well. I went to bed a little later than I wanted but could have had almost seven hours of sleep. I had about two, maybe a little more. I went to work and gave myself a pep talk on the way into the building. Telling myself that I have often been able to at least function with little sleep and that I have had to act, on a stage, during times much more stressful and made it through. Thirty minutes or so into the night when they were offering voluntary time off, I went home. I was doing okay, but I felt like the lack of sleep would become a problem early into the work day. Apparently they were overstaffed by a few people. On the way home, I played some Pokemon Go and Harry Potter Wizards Unite. I wanted to ensure that I would be able to sleep today. Other happy things:
- I took a nap after getting home, just under two hours. As I was hitting the snooze on the alarm Keziah knocked and asked if I wanted to go blueberry picking. I had forgotten about this outing, I wasn't going to be able to go. I went. We picked up my aunt and went picking at Turkey Hill Farm. Keziah and I together picked over eleven pounds from two bushes. YUM! I totally forgot to take pictures.
- After lunch at home I mowed a little bit of the yard. Just enough to finish getting my steps in and a little more. The lawn mower was broken for a bit and then we had rain. The grass and weeds are taking over.
- A bright pop of red caught my eye in one of the flower gardens. According to Lens it is scarlet beebalm.

- I picked the blueberries on our bush in the afternoon. That this bush is producing anything this summer is huge. Last year it dried out.
- Gideon chose a dark green for his hair color.
