But it was such a lovely, bright sunshiny day and Huck sunned herself outside--something she hasn't done since Scout, so I was so happy to see her get some of her old pastimes back.
Nu was too peopled out from yesterday to go out, so we stayed home. We had plenty of leftovers from yesterday too and that worked out perfectly as it meant I didn't have to cook on my Boss Day. We played with the pups and watched shows and I got really close to finishing up The Whispers--a book I picked up from Sarah's June reading list--it's practically unputdownable. I'm saving the last handful of chapters for the tub tomorrow.
Ten years ago, I think such a quiet holiday would have given me anxiety about not doing the right thing or FOMO or something--but I do what I want these days. (Also feeling way less celebratory with stupid/corrupt SCOTUS decisions in the last week.)

How do your dogs do with fireworks? Our dog...does not do well.
We were all split up for the 4th. Me and North in Oregon with my extended family, Beth in WV with hers, and Noah in LA. We had fun but it was strange. We've never been apart on the 4th before.
Oh no, I'm sorry it will be another month for Big A. UGHHHHH.
Yay for sunshine and quiet days!
Engie--I'm sorry Hannah has a tough time with fireworks. Max and Huck (and Scout) do ok... mostly because we're so far back from the main road that we can barely hear anything.
StephLove--I know I've had days like that when I think about how scattered my little fam is, and it makes me... sad? nostalgic? The fourth has never been a big deal around here except when the kids were tiny and were in the parades and so on, so it didn't feel too difficult for me.
Nicole--Yes on the ugh and on the aaaaaaah too :)
Cute puppies.
