So today we had a stove delivered (no one reminded me) so in pajamas I was cleaning out the bottom drawer of the stove (no sleeping in again, lol) but I did go back to sleep and avoided a headache.

Today was a tea and fashion show (the latter is questionable actually) for a friend who was diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer 6 months ago. This was a fundraiser for her, so everything (food, decorations, plats and chocolate desserts for sale) was donated, and all the money collected went to her fund. She is a fellow home school mom, 7 kids (4 are adults, one is my son's age - 17, 2 are middle school) and she is 53. This was a shocker when we found out, she is a dear friend and she has a lot of love and support for her family. Anyway, this tea was nice... nothing food wise I could eat (who puts bacon in egg salad?) but I had some fruit and veggies and some mini desserts. The fashion show was not really a "show" but 6 adults who modeled clothing from a local store and they gave out coupons. Nothing overly terrific "show wise" but 40% off an item I'll take! 😊

Ticket sales for the event raised over $3000 plus the donations from the items for sale and extra donations will all be used for her medical treatment. Her husband is a pastor and he was let go from his church right before the diagnosis (not sure what happened there but it was a shock and I am sure something underhanded went down to let him go, this is the sweetest family!) ... so they have limited income now. The whole thing was so touching, I was in tears and trying not to cry when we arrived. They had note cards to fill out for her, it was just a lovely 2 hours.

There is a ladies tea I go to every year in May, that's a beautiful event and there is a speaker and usually singing, finger sandwiches and tea (the men serve the ladies, that's nice!) and there is a craft (last year we made our own floral arrangements) so I'm looking forward to that.

Today my son is better and worse. He slept okay, his throat burns still. He was dizzy last night, he is weak and tired out. He has no fever but he just feels crappy and he is sick of being sick. So he's no fun right now. Plus he has no appetite so he's a bundle of misery. LOL

I have 6 different "free birthday" meals and desserts coming to me and no one is healthy to go, so they better get well fast. I refuse to lose my free stuff. Hahah  Not that I need anything sugary or sweet but I don't wanna miss my free meals (some places offer nice birthday options). I used 2 already but the month is ending soon. Haha

I also got his end of grade level testing in the mail, NJ does not require proof but I do it anyway (next year will be a gap year but I will give him the Iowa E since it has writing included), but need to wait to start it since he can barely think or keep his head up since this crazy flu kicked his behind. I gave up on school work this week, easier than trying to think "maybe tomorrow?" 😳

Laundry is a way of life. Good for you for cleaning and catching up before you leave. Sounds busy and a good nap behind all that work you have to accmplish!!

3am departure time? Go you! Is that when you are more awake? I may be awake at 3am (EST) sometimes but it's before bed not a ride in the car! LOL

Hope you're enjoying your day!!! 💖
