19 August, 2020 - My Boring Day & Rare Flowers from Around the World
Dear, Mom -
I am sorry I was unable to talk with you today. I had to be at a doctor’s appointment with Birgit. It went a lot longer than expected and we were back around 4 pm. I think we may be talking today (Thursday around 3). I have to take Birgit to her arthritis infusion on Friday and then, thank goodness, it is the weekend. I just have not been feeling very well lately. Not necessarily physically, but mentally. I’m sure I already went over that in last night’s letter, but it is still how I am feeling. I hope I can come see you soon so that you can lift my spirits. I miss you very much.
I really wish I hadn’t broke my glasses. That doesn’t help matters. It is hard to find the right glasses for reading and writing now, so I am just opting not to wear any at all, which is a bit straining on my eyes. When I am driving, my old glasses are fine. Luckily my eyesight isn’t horrible, so I can cope until I figure out a new situation for glasses.
Today was not very eventful. I got up thinking I had time to take Elsa on a nice, cool walk. At 9:30 I got a phone call, while at the park, from Birgit asking me if I was still going to take Stella her dog to the groomers at 10. I said I forgot and would be there as soon as I could. Right as I was one block from the house, she drove next to me and said she was taking Stella. I was a bit irritated because I had flown across 5 neighborhoods to get back in time to take her. And I told her I would. I was just frustrated on top of already being frustrated at most everything else in life. Now I was home and took Elsa back out to continue her walk. Unfortunately, it was getting hot and we didn’t last long. Had I been able to stay at the park, Elsa could have had a good run in the cool, morning air and been more satiated for her boring day on the floor at home. I did take her for a walk around 5:45 pm, but it was still really hot and I think she got a bit overheated. I always bring water with me, but it had become warm in the bottle and not very satisfying to a hot dog.
So, that’s about it. I had to go to the store, which I really don’t like to do, but we and Birgit needed a few things, so I went. After that, I came home, took Birgit her groceries, then came home to mope around until just a big ago. I didn’t even get any pictures of flowers for you today. Instead, I am going to find some unusual ones from around the world and post them for you to see. They will be lots different than the usual ones I put here for you.
With that said, I love you with my whole heart and wish I could just come spend the day with you. I long for that day to come, as it won’t be soon enough. Take care, Mom. I will talk to you soon!
❤️✨Your Daughter, Sally Ann✨❤️
