I woke up just before 8am this morning and decided instead of a workout I would cut the grass today. Little did I know that it would take me ALL DAY!
Before I got out of bed I came across this and sent it to Trev.

After about an hour of cutting the grass my watch died. I was using my AirPods to listen to music off of my watch so I think that that was draining the battery because I usually get a whole day out of my watch battery. The backyard looks nice.
And it was a crap tonne of steps! In the following 3 hours I only took another 700 steps. Haha! Its now 9:30pm and I’m at 19735. I don’t think that’s right because I made dinner during that time as well. We had Buddha bowls again at the request of the girls.
This afternoon we ran some errands while it was starting to rain - we went to the dump, we went to get after bite for Sophie, we went and had lunch at McDonalds (drive thru), we stopped and picked up dog treats from the Itty Bitty Baker (Makayla Cochran) who is selling a dozen for $3 so we bought some to support her, we dropped my phone off to Lisa Brooks because Natasha broke hers yesterday and my old one is for sale - I told her I was going to drop the price today to $350 because I hadn’t had any bites and Natasha was happy about that. We were supposed to go to the Bridge Social to pick up some coffee curbside but time got away from us so we’ll stop by tomorrow.
Oh and Paige ran away. She packed a bag and walked down the driveway - she had a mess of a day today, nothing was going her way and it culminated with Jay saying there wasn’t enough room on our bed for her when we were resting and Sophie was in the bed. I took the car down and talked to her - now that they’re getting older (and anxiety is so linked to depression) I don’t want to go the “fine, run away” route that we used to use when she was 6 and went to the end of the driveway - but I also don’t want her doing this just for attention because its a pain in the ass. So I went down and talked to her, said that I was sorry that she was feeling this way and I’d like to talk about it but that also we would talk about the appropriateness of her decision to choose this course of action. A pick up truck stopped behind my truck on the side of the road to make sure we were ok (we were still on our property but away from the driveway), I told him we were fine, thanks for checking - and then he did a 3 point turn on the road to turn back to town (he had obviously driven by the first time and turned around to check on us which was really nice)..I explained to her that it was dangerous for him to do that, to turn around in the street, and he did it to check on her - she just thought it was embarrassing so came back up the hill but didn’t come in the house. She did join us for dinner but it was at he other end of the table. Sophie was being supportive of Paige but at some point we had to tell her to just leave her alone because, again, I don’t want this to be her ‘go to’ solution. We’ll chat about it tomorrow when she’s come and explain it wasn’t appropriate and not acceptable to choose to handle her feelings that way.
Today’s numbers - Uxbridge went up by 2 more, its the residents at Reachview which is really sad:
