I went to Emporia to order the meat for the family reunion I am hosting in two weeks. I then went to the Meat Locker in Olpe and gave them the cutting orders for the steer they are butchering for me. Glad to get those two things out of the way and done.
I took Ellexia to a friend’s house since I was going to town. She will be home later this evening I think. Tagen went with his other grandmother to the lake this afternoon so it has just been Kathy and I in the house this afternoon. Oh the blissful sounds of silence!
Tried to get the new Roku device hooked up to the TV downstairs but our internet was not cooperating. The internet kept going off and on and I wasn’t successful hooking up the new device. I’ll try again later.
Finally got the reminder letter written and envelopes addressed for the family reunion that I am hosting in two weeks. Good to get that task taken care of too. I am really looking forward to this gathering. We could have 50 plus people show up. I love hosting big crowds.
I did chicken chores for Tagen today. He didn’t get them done before he left and I’m not sure what time he will be home this evening. I brought up 19 eggs today. I have five dozen eggs available if anyone needs/wants some. $3 a dozen.
It has been another hot day on the prairie. At least we didn’t reach over 100 today but it did hit the mid 90’s. When it gets that hot, it feels like it is 100 or more.
Hoping we get a couple more loads for Michelle from her old house this weekend but we shall see what happens. I’m grateful Tagen has his pickup running now so we can use it and start bringing some of the bigger stuff home. If we do a couple loads a week it will make the final clean out much easier.
No plans for the weekend other than going to a friend’s birthday celebration dinner tomorrow night. It will be fun to gather with my friends for an evening out. I forget to get out and go places and will enjoy it.
I’m not so cranky today although I haven’t been around too many people today. The guy that helped me at the meat locker was friendly and efficient as was the guy at Bobby D’s. Even traffic was light and people seemed to remember how to drive today. Not sure I am ready to face many people today but the few I had to were fine. Some days I just can’t people!
Since the kiddos won’t be here for dinner, I didn’t have to fix dinner tonight. I will find something easy to fix to eat later and call it good. I got off easy cooking this week. Ellexia won’t be here next week so that will decrease the amount of food I will be fixing throughout the week.
Next week I have my annual physical on Monday and then Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday I am babysitting my seven year old grandson. That will keep me busy and out of trouble. Thankfully Tagen will be here most of that time to help me out. Cody and Tagen are good buddies.
Sitting in a good head space today although I have been ruminating more than I like too. Never quite sure what causes that to happen. It seems to come in waves. I am working to train myself to just notice it, allow it and move on. When I can do that, it seems to pass quicker.
Grateful the reunion reminder letter is ready to be mailed, grateful the beef order has been placed, and grateful for a free afternoon.
