Today I am grateful for:

Feeling like I've been sleeping a little better lately.

I got some cleaning done before my riding lesson.

I thought I was going to be late for my lesson, but then I remembered it was 6 pm not 5:30.

A good lesson, though I'm a little tired of having the same issues keep resurfacing (resistance to pressure, resistance, resistance). It was overall positive, but I would like to move towards accomplishing new things, not rehashing the old. At least he loaded in the trailer well.

We picked brand new yellow beans when I got home, and raspberries. We had the beans for supper.

We watched "The Intern" which was good, but I can't help but feel like...if this movie is about female empowerment, then why did she have to be saved by an old white guy?

Tuesday:

We took the truck to our local mechanic, and I shared a card trick with them. It was oddly gratifying, because they were really impressed with the trick (which isn't even a trick, it works out with math).

We built up a platform out of clay for the big rainwater storage tank next to the house.

A good ride on River. I need to ask R about his trot departures.

We picked more raspberries. Right now we are at peak production, and are picking every night.

We re-watched "The Gentlemen" which is a good movie.

Monday:

We went to the lake down the road and canoed for a while in the evening. It was all hazy with smoke from the forest fires in B.C., but it was still nice to get out on the water. There are some little islands in the lake, and one of them is literally covered with pelicans.
