A Down Day (and Still Felt Busy!)

Today was pretty much a “down time” day for us.

I started my morning with a virtual visit with my friend Mary Ann - always a good way to ease into the day.

Tomorrow will be a bit busier. Joe will be babysitting Oliver while Megan and I work the concession stand at Caleb’s swim meet. Jeremy works on Sundays, so Grandpa and Oliver get a whole morning together. Those two are curious about everything, and Joe is known for encouraging a little exploration, so I can only imagine the adventure they’ll have.

The concession stand isn’t a bad gig, either. Plus, I get some time with Megan, which makes it even better for me.

Even though we decided to skip any major chores today, I still prepped food for the next several days. Joe cooked up butternut squash and sweet potato, part of it for a sweet potato pie and part for a recipe Megan likes that involves sweet potatoes and mini marshmallows. I got in all of my physical activity, too. Aside from watching a documentary while on the NuStep, I listened to a few political podcasts throughout the day.

And speaking of energy, have I mentioned that our solar installation has officially been approved by the utility company? The survey team from Wolf River Electric is coming Wednesday morning to check everything out and determine where the panels will go (some on the southern and some on the western exposure roofs). I’m still not sure if there will be enough time to complete the install before the end of December. The Big Beautiful Bill wiped out the solar credits after December 31, 2025. Boo! Hiss! I truly cannot believe our government wants to push conventional energy sources over the renewable ones that could actually support our environment.

My goal for the next few hours before bedtime is simple: read a book or find a movie to watch. The plan is to just chill. Hoping you have a chill evening as well.
