I had trouble falling asleep last night. Finally around 3:30 I took some NyQuil and slept hard until 9:00. The only problem is I felt hung over all day. I even took a nap this afternoon to shake it off. I feel better now.
Not a very productive day for me. I did get the front fenced in part of the yard hand pushed. Emptied trash and washed guest towels was the only other thing I can claim to have gotten done today. Just one of those days I guess.
The clouds are starting to roll in. I put the cover back on the fire pit as it is smelling a bit like rain outside. We have a 30% to 40% chance throughout the night for rain. The cracks are growing in the yard so I would welcome every bit of rain we get.
Two of my five guests check out tomorrow. I will get their room and bathroom cleaned up after they leave. The guests downstairs are leaving Sunday sometime. I told them I wasn’t in a hurry for them to leave and they were welcome to hang around a bit. Not sure what their plans are. I will want to get their rooms cleaned before I leave Monday. It usually doesn’t take long to clean the rooms especially since I detailed them before they came.
My upstairs guests went to Ad Astra for lunch and then went hiking at the Tallgrass Prairie Preserve this afternoon. They posted some pictures on Facebook and look like they are enjoying themselves. I always like to see my guests get out and enjoy the beauty of the land.
We all sat out last night and enjoyed the sunset again. Have a feeling we won’t see much of a sunset tonight as the clouds are getting thicker by the minute. May get to hear thunder roll across the hills though. That is one of my favorite sounds out here on the prairie.
Had a rough morning emotionally. Things and thoughts kept coming up that sent me to a dark place. I was able to allow the thoughts and feelings without falling in the muck pond. I had a good cry and felt better although very tired so I allowed myself to take a nap. Not sure if it was the NyQuil or what. I’m much better grounded and centered this evening.
Grateful for the chance of rain on the prairie, grateful I was able to move my dark feeling through my body – mowing helped, and grateful I am in a better space this evening. All is well on the prairie! Right here, Right now, All is Well!
