Dear Diary,
I awoke at 6:30 AM. I wrote my blog and posted it. Angel woke up and I made her breakfast and lunch. I packed up her lunch and made myself tea and a smoothie. We played a game of What’s the Point. Then I put our laundry in the truck and drove to the laundromat. While we were doing our laundry, Angel and I played a game called Race Across the USA. When the laundry was finished, we drove home. Angel rode her bike to Jujitsu while I put the laundry away. Then I walked to the Assembly of God Church and cleaned it.
I arrived home just after Angel. I went to blend up some water, honey and fresh squeezed lemon, to make lemonade, but my Vitamix wasn’t working. I looked at it and saw that a piece was broken. I believe it is still under warranty, so I sent an email to the company with a picture of the broken part and the serial number.
I walked to the thrift store and got a few things. Then I walked to my sisters and got the Vitamix I had given her and brought it home to use until I can get mine fixed. I had messaged her ahead of time asking her if I could use her vitamix and she said that I could. I blended up the homemade lemonade and we got ready to leave to go to New Meadows for a cleaning opportunity.
The drive to New Meadows was beautiful, it was a beautiful sunny 75° day. When I arrived at my cleaning opportunity, I greeted my client and we talked for a while. It has been a month since we’ve seen each other because I couldn’t come clean for her with the road closed.
Angel did her schoolwork while I cleaned. I got the house extra clean and did a few extra things. Then we drove to Zim’s Hot Springs and swim for an hour or so. I floated in the deep end on my back and completely relaxed my body. I was so relaxed that I fell asleep for a few minutes and had really vivid dreams.
When we arrived home from Zim’s, I cleaned the bank and Angel went to my older sisters. When I finished cleaning I rode my bicycle over to Aaron’s. I’ve been training Bits with a leash to run beside my bicycle and today I tried it without a leash to see how he would do. He did a great job and stayed right next to me the whole time.
I visited with Aaron for a while, then I rode back home. Angel came home from my sisters and we played a few games of What’s the Point. Then we got ready for bed. I wrote my blog notes, put on a sleep meditation and went to sleep at around 10:30 PM.

Dear Diary,
I awoke at 4 AM. I wrote a little of my blog but I was too tired and went back to sleep listening to a sleep mediation. I awoke again after 7 AM. I wrote my blog and posted it. Then I got up and made Angel breakfast. For myself I made tea and a smoothie. I got ready to leave to do a cleaning opportunity when my landlady called and said that she was downstairs. I went downstairs and gave her a check for June’s rent. She told me that I can’t have my gratitude sign out on the corner in front of the apartment building, the sign has to be closer to the door leading up to my apartment. I said that was fine and moved the sign. Then I invited her up to see the apartment. She accepted and was really happy with how I had it fixed up.
Right after the landlady left, my neighbor knocked on the door and brought me a beautiful bouquet of lilacs. I thanked her and put them in a jar on the kitchen table. What a delightful gift. I love lilacs so much. They smell heavenly.
I finished getting ready and left to clean the house where I am cat sitting. I cleaned for almost 4 hours and got the house thoroughly clean. Angel was excited that she didn’t have to do schoolwork while I cleaned since it was Saturday. She played with toys and helped me clean instead.
When we got home, I made Angel lunch, then we set up a lemonade stand. This time Angel payed for her supplies herself from money she had saved from her last lemonade stand. Angel had me running here and there, making more lemonade or getting more supplies. Then I sat with her in the reclining lawn chair and enjoyed the sunshine and even took a little nap. Angel had a lot of business and one lady gathered up a bunch of money from people and donated $33 to Angel’s lemonade stand. What a great community we live in
We were about to pack up and call it a day when my younger sister and some other family stopped by the lemonade stand to support Angel. They helped break down the stand and carry everything upstairs which I was grateful for. It saved me about 5 trips up and down the stairs. Then they all left to go to my older sisters and we joined them over there after we ate dinner.
We stayed at my older sisters for a couple of hours visiting with family. There was a little bit of drama when my older sister thought Angel had broken her Nintendo by accidentally hitting reset but my sister got it working again. I suggested that she not let Angel play the Nintendo at her house, then there won’t be any issues in the future. I don’t like Angel playing video games anyway. My sister said that Angel just needed to not do anything to the Nintendo without asking first. I decided to stay-in-my-lane and let my sister and Angel work things out in their own way.
Angel was upset by the whole ordeal and asked to ride her bicycle around and I told her she could. When she got back she wanted to go home and it was getting late anyway, so we hugged everyone goodbye and went home. We got ready for bed and went to bed early. I put on a sleep meditation and we went to sleep at around 9 PM.
Thank you for reading my blog and being a part of my life. I appreciate you.
Love, Victoria
