Science Fair & Erased

It has been a good day, but the main thing on my mind right now is that I'm sad cause something happened on my phone around 2pm today as I was out running errands. I was entering in that Abi did a DI run for me, and that I was returning wedding stuff, and I was confused cause it didn't show that Owen had trumpet today. And it didn't have hardly anything on all the other days of the week in the whole month. Upon further research for the next hour, I discovered my whole calendar for the past 2 years was GONE. Mary and Alive's birthdays were not entered in anymore. Everything for the past year was gone, and things that ended and had been deleted this past year were back, like my weekly coaching calls with Laura Dixon. Those ended like in March 2025. Anyway, I'm super bummed and sad and mad. I'm sad because I had lots of notes on there of things that I wanted to keep track of so I could record them here, such as where we went on each of our Friday night date nights. It's all erased. So now I guess I'll have to go back and look up bank transactions, which is going to be a pain. Or I'll just not write them down. I'm still catching up on the blog - I'm caught up through May 2025, but June through today have posts missing here and there. When I'm catching up, it's already hard, cause sometimes I can't remember what happened just from the photos, so I'll go look up messages over text, whatsapp, and messenger to try and help me get my facts straight. And I USED to use calendar, but now that's not gonna happen. And so iphone/apple calendar, I just want to say I'm mad at you and we're breaking up. I'm not going to use you anymore for important things. I'll be using whatsapp to text myself. Goodbye. 

Ok, so today was the usual school morning, and I drove Owen over for safety patrol and he took his science fair tri-fold because today was the science fair. Then Abi left with the car at 9 for seminary (it's her only class for the rest of the year on Tuesdays and Thursdays) and she was coming home after that class, but I still didn't have it to drive over, so I was debating if I had to go. I already knew what his project was about. But I did go, and I'm glad I did. I pushed K in a stroller and we found Owen and he was ready to tell me all about his experiment. 

I couldn't hear him at all cause it was noisy there in the cafeteria, but I nodded my head and pretended I could hear. A nice grandpa came and listened intently after us. I shall try to be a grandpa like that. I decided to go look at other kids' projects and try to ask them questions to pay it forward and show my gratitude to that nice grandpa for taking an interest in my son. 

K and I walked home, we were gone for a little over an hour. After I got home, I had to work on Lily's sourdough. She slept in and thus didn't get it done before school, so I told her I'd do it and she texted me detailed instructions on how to prep the rolls from her dough (60 grams for each). It was sticky. I worked on that for 30 min, then Abi was back and we loaded up the car with donations for the DI. Abi took it down, which was great. That's been the big hurdle in clearing stuff out of this cluttered house. I can get it in a pile, but then I don't move it out. But now it's done, and new goal is for me to clean every Wednesday like I did yesterday, then on Thursdays when Abi is home, she'll do the donation run. Yay, this will be good. While she was gone I worked on the second bowl of sourdough. After Lily got home, she was pleased with my work, and we gifted rolls to two elderly neighbor families, the Hubers and the Ogles, and then Lily gave a third bread (not rolls, from a bowl I was instructed not to touch) to our next door neighbor. Lily is a good baker. So after getting the sourdough ready, I left to run my errands of returning wedding stuff - ribbon to Walmart, flowers to Michaels, then I went to turn in the violation paper I got last week from a cop in Midvale, after going by Winco - I got pulled over cause my brake lights were not working, so I didn't have to pay anything to Midvale City, but I did take it in to Burt Bros last Thurs to get the lights fixed, which was $114 bucks I think. After that I went by savers to return some clothes, but I didn't have my receipt, left it home, I'll try to find that later, then back to home to take Owen to trumpet. Got him ice cream at Macey's on our way home from there. Abi had made dinner, I cleaned a little more in the basement, registered Sophi for high school, and now I'm blogging so yay, good day except for the things that will never be recorded on earth because K did something to my phone or maybe it short circuited cause my storage is full again, ugh. Such problems. Well, things are actually good here at home, which is more than I can say for our country - it is all insane! Ok well good night.
