Another quiet day on the prairie. Thankfully the sun came out for a bit this afternoon. The wind was even quiet today to make it a perfect winter day.
The yarn I needed to finish the blanket I am making came it today. That was much faster than I expected. I have been knitting a bit this afternoon. It is good to be back working on the blanket. I am only one or two days away from having it done. I will ship it to the birthday person when I get it done. It will arrive a few days late so trusting they will understand.
I ordered yarn for my next knitting project too. It will be fun to cast on another project when I get this one done. I do better when I have a big knitting project to work on.
I took four or five calls last night on the hot line. It wasn’t a very rewarding night for me. I had an interesting mix of callers and didn’t feel I was able to connect well to a couple of them. Some nights are like that. I may get on tonight and see if I can have better success.
Jim went to town today to run a few errands. He picked up a few groceries for me. It’s so nice to have someone run those errands for me. I didn’t feel like leaving the house today.
My Endocrinoligist recommended I take a Calcium and Vitamin D supplement. My medication list they manage was changed to reflect that and showed the medication was sent to a pharmacy to be filled. They sent it to the wrong pharmacy. When I asked about it, the nurse didn’t understand and sent a prescription I didn’t need to the right pharmacy. When I contacted her again she said they hadn’t sent a script for the new medication but couldn’t tell me why it showed they did. She told me to get it over the counter. I hate things like this. I’ll have to go to the pharmacy and pick up the new script for my Thyroid medication. They want me to alternate doses with a stronger one and a weaker one. Whatever…
We have no plans for the weekend. I will go to town sometime to get the weaker Thyroid medication but other than that will stay home.
Our church friends from Stillwater are all getting their vaccines this week. I wonder when KS will get their act together and start offering them? I haven’t seen any information about clinics coming up. I did fill out a form for Chase County but they said they had no idea when they might offer them.
How are you all managing people on your Facebook page that have completely opposite political views than yourself? I have unfollowed many of them without saying anything. I am starting to feel like I need to speak up and not just go away quietly. Am I adding to the negative energy by saying something or by staying quiet? I just can’t wrap my head around the fact that many are still finding excuses for what Trump did and are seeing him as a victim. I’m not sure what to say to them or how to treat them. Staying quiet feels icky but so does speaking out.
It certainly feels we are all being called to find our truth. How do I carry that truth out to my community and be a voice for good? On one hand it feels like the politics is just a mirror and not reality. I need to stay aware of the times when I get locked into my position and can’t see around it. Maybe that is why the issue on Facebook is trying to teach me.
If all feels so complicated and confusing at times. I push myself forward one step and then fall back two. Nothing about this seems easy and simple. Maybe I just need to set it down for a bit and pick it up another day.
Grateful for the sunshine today – my soul needed that, grateful the yarn arrived, and grateful to be on a learning curve about myself.
