Rainy day on the prairie. We seem to get weather about 24 – 48 hours after my cousin Pam gets it in Santa Fe. She got snow a day or two ago but we got rain. Almost an inch so far and it is still raining. Yay!
It has been a lazy, rainy day for me. I stayed up too late last night watching a show. I slept in but woke up still feeling tired. After a couple hours awake, I gave in and went back to bed and slept for two more hours. Still feeling a bit tired but maybe if I get up and move around in a bit I will get some energy going.
Kathy went to town today and stopped and picked up my prescription for me. So grateful as that saved a trip to town for me. I hate going to town for only one thing and couldn’t think of anything else I needed.
Mark Davis from Davis Drain called me yesterday to let me know the plumbers and ditch diggers had gotten the sewer line fixed at my rental house in Cottonwood Falls. Mark went above and beyond and managed this project for me. I so appreciate him. The ditch digger hit the water line while digging the sewer line out and they had to repair that. Grateful for their service and the way they worked me in to get this job done. I’m sure my renter appreciates being able to flush again. Hopefully they fixed this problem and this fix will last a long time.
Got started on the tea towel embroidery work last night. I have two done and 19 to go. The pattern is cute and it is fun working them up. I hadn’t done any embroidery work for several years. I remember why I like it now.
Still need to go own to do the chickens this afternoon. The rain has let up for a bit so need to get down there before it starts raining again. I have two dozen eggs sold for Monday that I don’t have in the house yet. Lay girls! Lay!
No plans for the weekend other than cleaning house if the mood strikes. It is nice to stay in and avoid all the last minute Christmas shoppers and chaos that is out there this time of year. I will need to go to town Monday or Tuesday to pick up a few groceries and see my Chiropractor. Hopefully I can time the visit to the grocery store so the store isn’t too busy and I can get in and out quickly. Not in the people mood right now.
I think I am going to make some white chicken chili tomorrow. I am hungry for it and it will make enough to feed me for several days. I have some chicken tenders that need used up and that will fit the bill.
My old insurance agent called me today and offered to shop for new house insurance for me. She is a day late and a dollar short. I told her I had already found a different policy. I didn’t tell her I was going to pull the rental houses and car from her. I want to get the windows paid for before I tell her that.
Feeling a bit out of sorts and low energy today. Not sure why I am extra tired today but going to allow it to be what it is and this too shall pass. It felt luxurious to go back to bed around noon time and take a long winter’s nap. Somedays are like this for me. Best to honor it and rest.
I had to check my calendar twice to see if our family Christmas was one week or two weeks ago from tomorrow. It was only one week. It feels like it has been a month or more. I don’t have a good relationship with time these days. It is hard for me to know how long ago something happened. Weird how that happens. Guess when you are retired the calendar and time doesn’t hold much meaning. I do check my calendar daily just to make sure if I have committed to being someplace today. I rarely a remember what day of the week it is unless I have something scheduled. Sign of getting old? Maybe just out of touch?
Grateful for a day of rest, grateful for the rain falling on the prairie, and grateful for a quiet weekend ahead.
