Cookie Cats and Bird Feeders
Hung out with Ben today and he helped me get a bird feeder I liked. Then I introduced him to Steven Universe (on its 10th anniversary!) and we ate Cookie Cats.

Saki with Sarah
Went to the restaurant Saki with Sarah and her husband David. We were cracking up a little because I was very rude and said the only thing I wanted to photograph was the sushi because it is the most beautiful thing in the picture, and Sarah was like THANKS FOR CALLING ME HIDEOUS.

Teabag Cookies
I made shortbread cookies dipped in chocolate to look like teabags!

Tides of Time Friends and Family Concert
I had a performance and Meggie came to support me. She took a photo with me and wrote “I’m best friends with the lead singer,” and captioned it “She’s kind of a big deal.”

Dedication Day
Our mom’s dedication was today. We went out on a boat and watched her reef ball be added to the reef project. We saw dolphins! And we also decorated a tribute reef with flowers and said our final goodbyes to our mom. And we got boba after.
Dolphins!
