A lot of friends and family reached out to me to say happy birthday, which made me feel loved. I summarized the first half of my day to my AXB friends so I&#8217;ll post that here for efficiency:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;This birthday has been special already. My spirituality often takes  the form of dreams and or thoughts that hit me like bone-deep  impressions. This morning as I was transitioning from being asleep to  being awake, the thought &#8220;life is a gift&#8221; rolled through me in a very  visceral way. I hadn&#8217;t realized it was my birthday yet, and I&#8217;ve been  grateful to start my 38th year with that experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It&#8217;s  not a typical birthday, but it&#8217;s a great one. Lily is out of town to  help a friend move to Baltimore. Her friend helped process Afghanistan  refugees at military bases for the last 6 months and now that most of  the refugees have left the base and gone to local refugee organizations,  she&#8217;s moving to Baltimore to help process people at one of those local  orgs. Lily was sad to miss my birthday and I miss her, but I&#8217;m so happy  she can support her friend in that way, and also get a much needed break  from the kids.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Also, funny enough Jan 28 is  Qualtrics annual day of service. All the employees get the day off to  help the community. As such, I spent time connecting one of my friends  from Chicago (Nick Barnes) with a non-profit legal agency to help him  with a crazy situation. He was on disability and didn&#8217;t realize he was  working too many hours, and social security finally realized it and is  now asking him to pay them back $22,000, but he&#8217;s still steeped in  medical bills and barely surviving paycheck to paycheck. Anyway, I think  this non-profit is going to take his case and assign him a probono  lawyer, so that was a big success.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I was  also going to ski today, but Ammon has been sick all week and so I&#8217;m  watching him at home while the others are at school. I took him to the  Doctor and it seems like its a nasty virus.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"956\" height=\"1024\" src=\"http:\/\/abeandlily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Screen-Shot-2022-01-29-at-11.27.20-AM.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-24220\" srcset=\"https:\/\/abeandlily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Screen-Shot-2022-01-29-at-11.27.20-AM.png 956w, https:\/\/abeandlily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Screen-Shot-2022-01-29-at-11.27.20-AM-280x300.png 280w, https:\/\/abeandlily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Screen-Shot-2022-01-29-at-11.27.20-AM-768x823.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 956px) 100vw, 956px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"705\" src=\"http:\/\/abeandlily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Screen-Shot-2022-01-29-at-11.27.28-AM-1024x705.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-24221\" srcset=\"https:\/\/abeandlily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Screen-Shot-2022-01-29-at-11.27.28-AM-1024x705.png 1024w, https:\/\/abeandlily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Screen-Shot-2022-01-29-at-11.27.28-AM-300x207.png 300w, https:\/\/abeandlily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Screen-Shot-2022-01-29-at-11.27.28-AM-768x529.png 768w, https:\/\/abeandlily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Screen-Shot-2022-01-29-at-11.27.28-AM-1536x1058.png 1536w, https:\/\/abeandlily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Screen-Shot-2022-01-29-at-11.27.28-AM.png 1748w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"845\" height=\"1024\" src=\"http:\/\/abeandlily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Screen-Shot-2022-01-29-at-11.27.40-AM-845x1024.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-24222\" srcset=\"https:\/\/abeandlily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Screen-Shot-2022-01-29-at-11.27.40-AM-845x1024.png 845w, https:\/\/abeandlily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Screen-Shot-2022-01-29-at-11.27.40-AM-248x300.png 248w, https:\/\/abeandlily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Screen-Shot-2022-01-29-at-11.27.40-AM-768x931.png 768w, https:\/\/abeandlily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Screen-Shot-2022-01-29-at-11.27.40-AM.png 992w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 845px) 100vw, 845px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The doctor did say Ammon&#8217;s condition could be food poisoning, but he thought is was more likely to be a virus, and thought it&#8217;s contagious window was probably winding down, but he could possibly still be contagious.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I mostly caught up on work and life at my computer until I picked up Clarissa, Mary and Lydia from school. Then we went home briefly so Lydia could practice harp. Then everyone loaded in the car and I took Lydia to voice, picked up Basil, picked Lydia up and fueled up. Here are videos that K-9 Wasatch sent us for Basil&#8217;s week at the daycare:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"a1f6adbf 83c0 40f2 85bf 7a53ed3b1769 20220125 140342\" width=\"660\" height=\"371\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/9EZ4ZLnoTC8?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"d7d0f41d 6bb0 4d35 a65b 1a44416cf3b0 20220126 141306\" width=\"660\" height=\"371\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/vMt01xc6xaY?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"58d25239 13b5 4aee 880a 6108eb8d0b5c IMG 7535\" width=\"660\" height=\"371\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/OhedXgGuYqc?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"300a2ad7 55aa 4299 9b25 97141d1a1f2c IMG 7537\" width=\"660\" height=\"371\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/LCAC8mC3d9I?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"93ac21f6 5f2a 4591 9bc7 4f0b77801577 IMG 7539\" width=\"660\" height=\"371\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/BMbLr35k-1I?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"1df24cfd c4d6 4396 900b 4c9af79b6045 IMG 7539\" width=\"660\" height=\"371\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Gvg81pbhoQE?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Then I tidied the house to prepare for my dad and Suzanne coming over. They arrived right at 6 with an amazing looking ice-cream cake. They also treated use to Aubergine for dinner. After a delicious dinner, they listened to Lydia and Mary play their instruments. Then they brought a game I used to play with when I was a kid, barrel of monkeys. We&#8217;d forgotten how to play, but once we looked it up and got rolling, everyone had such a blast. My dad got a chain of 15 monkeys which blew us all away!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"IMG 6953\" width=\"660\" height=\"371\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/gNHSAHrX1q8?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer;

Suzanne was so sweet with how much she helped clean. All the kids loved seeing Baps and bapa. Then my dad and Suzanne went to visit Georgia and take her some cake. They had a long and wonderful visit and Georgie told me she loved visiting with them so much. All in all, I had a great day. Lily sent me the sweetest text with things she loves about me, and I got to talk to her which was really great. I also had a lot of friends and family reach out to wish me happy birthday, as I mentioned before and the time with my dad and Suzanne was so fun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"769\" height=\"1024\" src=\"http:\/\/abeandlily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Screen-Shot-2022-01-29-at-11.29.12-AM-769x1024.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-24209\" srcset=\"https:\/\/abeandlily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Screen-Shot-2022-01-29-at-11.29.12-AM-769x1024.png 769w, https:\/\/abeandlily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Screen-Shot-2022-01-29-at-11.29.12-AM-225x300.png 225w, https:\/\/abeandlily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Screen-Shot-2022-01-29-at-11.29.12-AM-768x1023.png 768w, https:\/\/abeandlily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Screen-Shot-2022-01-29-at-11.29.12-AM.png 1000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 769px) 100vw, 769px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"772\" src=\"http:\/\/abeandlily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Screen-Shot-2022-01-29-at-11.29.25-AM-1024x772.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-24210\" srcset=\"https:\/\/abeandlily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Screen-Shot-2022-01-29-at-11.29.25-AM-1024x772.png 1024w, https:\/\/abeandlily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Screen-Shot-2022-01-29-at-11.29.25-AM-300x226.png 300w, https:\/\/abeandlily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Screen-Shot-2022-01-29-at-11.29.25-AM-768x579.png 768w, https:\/\/abeandlily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Screen-Shot-2022-01-29-at-11.29.25-AM-1536x1158.png 1536w, https:\/\/abeandlily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Screen-Shot-2022-01-29-at-11.29.25-AM.png 1732w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"http:\/\/abeandlily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Screen-Shot-2022-01-29-at-11.29.37-AM-768x1024.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-24211\" srcset=\"https:\/\/abeandlily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Screen-Shot-2022-01-29-at-11.29.37-AM-768x1024.png 768w, https:\/\/abeandlily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Screen-Shot-2022-01-29-at-11.29.37-AM-225x300.png 225w, https:\/\/abeandlily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Screen-Shot-2022-01-29-at-11.29.37-AM.png 978w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The only bad thing about my birthday was my behavior with Lydia. Still feeling exhausted from the week, I went to bed at 10:30. Lydia dropped in on me at midnight and woke me up. I told her to figure it out and go back to sleep. Then I felt anger that I was awake when I felt I needed sleep so badly. I went all the way upstairs to chew out Lydia and tell her there is no scary doll, and she can&#8217;t keep doing this to me. She broke down crying and said it wasn&#8217;t the thoughts about a scary doll that she&#8217;s been having, it was just that she couldn&#8217;t sleep and she wanted to sleep in my bed. My heart melted and I felt awful for chewing her out when she just has trouble falling asleep sometimes. I let her sleep in my bed, and Ammon joined us at some-point during the night. I continued apologizing this morning as I felt so bad. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But otherwise, it was a great great day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Today, Lily spent time with her Cousin Louie and Ginny and their two adorable kids.
