I was able to place a homeless female Veteran into permanent supportive housing. That was a long time coming for her.

I was able to find laughter with co-workers after a long hot hard week.

I visited my father in his nursing home and he said some things that showed me that he still remembers some important things about our family. He's such a mystery right now but sometimes is so grounded.

My joy yesterday, her and I had a really great day! We both have been there for each other some serious stuff, so yesterday was a great stress reliever.

A visit to a Mexican grocery store. The other day she surprised me when she told me she made homemade tortillas. I'm like, you did??!! So we are planning a dinner now!
Then we went shopping to fill bags for the food pantry collection on Sunday.
Stopped for lunch. Hmmm, Mexican food. Is there a theme here? Lol We shared a wet burrito. With afternoon Sangria.

We thought we were going to go home and take a nap, but we keep on rolling. Off to bowl. What a blast!! 5 games with cocktails.

Wait, still not over..we stopped for sushi.

The entire day was pure JOY, for me and her!

My joy today...celebrating my Mom with a lengua taco.

I picked up my Mom from the funeral home. I hope thats the last time I have to go there. It's extremely difficult. ....And there was a viewing going on. (boo hoo)
Anyway, our fav taco place was across the street.

I remember I brought her home a lengua (beef tongue) taco. She was so happy. Our conversion went to how she would make herself tongue when I was little and still living at home. I thought is was sooo gross! I said, maybe I should try it again, now that my tastes have grown up. Ok, I was willing, lol. It actually wasn't bad. I don't think I would go out of my way to order one. Well, until today.

For you Mom, I raise a taco in your honor!
That's my joy today. I miss her so💝

Two things brought me big joy today.

One, I got a package of crafty goodies from friends that was delightful and so fun.

Two, I had an especially wonderful phone interview and have a good feeling about this one. I hope so. *fingers crossed*
