It's been a strange week... starting with Hurricane Ida, a migraine a day or so later, and now... I'm mellow. Why? Don't know. Just glad that even though all the crises (is that the pleural for crisis?) around the world are not over by any means, I've settled into a semi-comfortable state. It is what it is... and we will adjust as needed.
I've also come to the conclusion (for the moment) that the world has gone nuts... and we will have to find a way to live with it. There's probably more crazy to come, but worrying about it helps no one. I feel like if we can just continue to take care of our own, and perhaps help out - even in small ways to others, then we're doing OK.
I haven't heard from my friend whose building lost their roof during Ida since Monday. I know she's moved in with a niece and they probably have no power. So I'm hoping she'll text me when she can get her phone charged again. I'm worried that the heat and humidity will be hard on her since she's 76.

Fairy Penquin
We picked up our granddaughter from school yesterday. We went for ice-cream and then home to watch a movie about a dog that saves Fairy Penquins on an island off Australia (based on a true story). It was a family movie free on Prime called Oddball (dog's name). We loved it! These Fairy Penquins are adorable! And you could walk to this island!

And I have to show you this. My daughter-in-law sent me this. It's a crochet pattern for tiny cats! I would love to do this, but not sure I can work that small. Maybe some of you out there could. If you're interested, I'll post the pattern. Hey, if you can do this, I'll trade you some Cheeky Chickens for some tiny cats....

Started writing this Thursday morning. Didn't finish.
It's Friday now.
Having strange anxiety type dreams lately. Usually I'm trying to make something work - and can't. Could be a phone, could be a gas pump, etc. Or I can't find my way somewhere... and occasionally I find myself in the middle of a crowd and realize that I forgot my mask! I know this is probably just suppressed anxiety over the craziness going on right now. And when I wake up, I tell myself to just forget it - but not always easy to do. Are you having weird dreams?
Going to close now. Memorial Weekend is upon us! These holiday weekends kind of sneak up on me... guess with everything else going on I tend to forget about them. I do wish you all a nice long relaxing weekend. Thanks for being here for me.
Hugs (virtual),
Rian
