over doing it

It seems we never grow too old or too wise to not over do it once in a while.   It has been very hot here and did a lot of housework and errands to prepare for Matte's birthday yesterday.  We had some of our favorite neighbors over for barbequed chicken, pulled pork, corn on the cob and several desserts - key lime pie and a chocolate cake with peanut butter icing.  One friend brought a delicious kale salad to go with it and everyone had a very nice time.  Unfortunately, I let Oliver indulge in too much pork and chicken and he had to go out at midnight and again at 4 a.m. to be sick.  Now we are exhausted and need to take today off to recover.  I have several commissions to work on in addition to my own ideas but it will all have to wait for another day.  I mainly feel bad for allowing poor Oliver to get sick.
