This has been another pajama day for me. I slept in late this morning so time has been off for me all day. I took a nap late afternoon which added to my time warp. Not sure why I was so tired today but it was a crash and burn type of day.
We had some pea and marble sized hail this afternoon. Strong winds and rain came with it. We got off easy though as there was rougher stuff east and north of us. This the time of the year for thunderstorms and tornadoes.
One of the Pen Pals attempted to write her Pen pal today. I had to add each of the Pen Pals names under my driver’s license and photo so the Pen Pals could write them. Not sure if her email went through or not. It isn’t showing up yet so not sure what is going on. This system is not the easiest to navigate. I trust the Pen PALs will stay patient and work through all of this for me.
Adding the names was a bit of a challenge. Some of their names are in different orders than I expected. Never did find one of them. He could have been moved out already. I will check again tomorrow and see if I can figure out what is going on.
I guess I didn’t expect the Pen Pal program to be easy but not sure I expected it to be this hard either. It really makes me wonder how stressed out families deal with all of this. Makes me want to put together a guide of some sort for them but not sure how I would get it to them. Then again, we are to bear witness and not problem solve. Hard place to sit in.
Our neighbor fixed Kathy’s mower for her. She had overfilled the oil and the mower wouldn’t start. He sucked some of the oil out of it. I ordered a new air filter as oil got in the old one. Nice to have neighbors that help some old girls out. He was a mechanic for over 30 years so he knows engines and was happy to help us out.
Trusting I will find some motivation to do something tomorrow. I have a few little things that I need to do and get off my list. I also have some house work that needs done. Just didn’t have any motivation to do anything today.
Feeling so weird that I have nothing on my calendar for the next two weeks. Tonight that feels overwhelming and hard. Funny how that feeling changes day by day and hour by hour.
A very non productive day for me. Trusting tomorrow I can get a few things done. I do feel better about myself when I can get things taken care of.
Grateful for the rain we received today, grateful the stronger storms didn’t find us, and grateful for all the sleep I got today.
