Dear Diary,
I awoke at 3 AM and wrote my blog. I finished writing 3 days and while waiting for pictures to load, I walked to M&W and set up my gratitude sign. When I got back, I added pictures and posted my blog. Just as I finished and was going to go to sleep some more, Angel woke up and came in. I told her to go back to bed because it was early and I was going to go to sleep some more. Angel went back to her room and I went to sleep for another hour listening to Michael Singer.
At 7:30 AM, I woke up again. Angel was just getting up and she wanted me to cut her hair. I got out my hair cutting kit and gave her a hair cut while breakfast was cooking. Her hair turned out really cute and she was happy with it. I cleaned up the hair and made myself tea and smoothie while Angel ate her breakfast.
Angel left to go to jujitsu and I walked to yoga class. The class was fantastic and my body felt so good when it was over. On my way home, I stopped at the thrift store and then I stopped at Tosha’s Herb store and bought some more loose leaf tea. Angel was home when I got there and we got ready to go to McCall for a cleaning opportunity.
On the way to McCall, I stopped at the post office and the last of the supplies I needed to do face painting at the Farmers Market tomorrow had arrived. Yay! We listened to Nancy Drew on the drive to McCall. At my cleaning opportunity, Angel did her schoolwork and I got the house sparkling clean. When I finished, we stopped at Natural Grocers and then I met a lady in Albertsons parking lot to get a couple of brand new mattress pads from her that she was selling on Facebook marketplace.
When we got home from McCall. I realized that the mattress pads were not mattress pads. They were mattress covers to put on mattresses in storage. Oh well 🤷♀️. I laid down for a few minutes. Then I got up and made 4 gallons of fresh squeezed lemonade sweetened with honey to sell at the farmers market. My nephew Christopher came over and we made a bunch of origami animals to also sell at the farmers market. It was starting to get late so Christopher went home.
Angel and I walked around the block with Little Bit, then I walked to the recycling center with all my recyclable garbage and put it in the bins. When I got back, Angel and I went to bed. I wrote out my blog notes and put on a sleep meditation. I went to sleep at around 11 PM.

Dear Diary,
I awoke at 3:30 AM. I wrote my blog and posted it. I was about to go back to sleep when Angel woke up and was hungry. I made her breakfast and then I went to sleep for an hour. At 7:30 AM, I got up, made myself tea and a smoothie and started getting ready for the farmers market.
Since the farmers market was being held only one block away, I walked there carrying the face painting and lemonade stand supplies. Angel helped and it took several trips to get everything. We set up in the park under the trees where I figured it would be cooler. It was only going to be in the low 80’s but for some reason that feels really hot. How I lived in Texas for 10 years and handled the heat just fine and now back in Idaho I’m hot when it’s only 80🤷♀️? Either way, I’ve decided to be content with the weather no matter what it’s doing.
The farmers market started at 9 AM and face painting started out slow. Angel played with kids and there was a lot of them. They all played in the park together while their parents ran their farmers market booths or went shopping. I enjoyed watching them play and soon most of the kids got their face painted. Angel and another girl really connected. I was glad to see that because she has had trouble making a friend that she could really bond with.
Before I knew it, four hours went by and the farmers market was over. Angel and her friend helped carry all our stuff back to our apartment. Her friend came over to play and the girls played in Angels room while I walked next door to help my neighbor clean some things.
My neighbor wasn’t home, so instead, I went to the laundry mat to wash all our laundry. I started it washing, then I cleaned the Assembly of God church a couple of blocks away. When I finished cleaning, I put the clothes in the dryer and checked on the girls. They were happily playing and Angel asked if her friend could stay the night. I messaged her friends mom and she said “sure”. The girls walked to her friends house to get pj’s while I got our dry clothes from the laundry mat. I folded the clothes and put them away, then I walked to the bank and cleaned it.
The girls got back and I fed them dinner. Then they went back to playing in Angels room. I rode my bicycle to my friends house where my camper is parked to show my camper to a lady who might want to buy it. She seemed really interested and said she would let me now.
The lady left and I visited with my friend a few minutes before riding back home. Little Bit ran beside my bicycle as I rode. I’ve been training him to run right next to me on the right side of the bicycle and he did great at staying exactly where I want him to be without having a leash on. He is fully recovered from his surgery and doesn’t seem to have any trouble with his lungs. He runs and runs all the time as if he was never hurt in the first place. I’m grateful he is doing so well.
When I got home, I played a game of Uno with Angels friend. Then I took a shower and told the girls I was going to bed early. I got ready for bed and was going to watch a movie but then changed my mind. Instead I did some stretching and meditation. I put on a sleep meditation and drifted to sleep at around 9:30 PM.
Thank you for reading my blog and being a part of my life. I appreciate you.
Love, Victoria
