Another good day – no bathroom emergency runs today. It is starting to feel like the C-Diff is back under control. Trusting it will stay that way now. I see the specialist a week from today. I will be anxious to hear what she recommends as a permanent solution to all of this.
The handyman came late morning and fixed a water leak in the laundry room. It is good to be able to cross something off the pending list. I so appreciate him and the efficient way he works.
I met a friend for lunch today. We had a great visit. I need to remember to book lunch with friends more often. It is nice to get some girl time in occasionally.
Came home from lunch really tired so took a long nap this afternoon. I sure wish I could sleep at night like I can in the afternoons. I almost felt rested for the first time in a long time when I got up this afternoon.
Jim is out planting grass seed in the area where the digger guys worked. It is so hot I’m not sure the grass were germinate but we are going to give it a try.
Working on getting the house cleaned up. Attempting to do one or two rooms a day. I will leave the main part of the house until last. I have a week to go to work my way through the whole house. Finding lots of dirt as it has been a bit since I have felt like cleaning.
Summer has arrived on the prairie. We are in a hot spell that looks like it will be hanging around for some time. Grateful we are escaping to the mountains the end of next week. Extreme heat is not my friend.
Still struggling a bit to find foods that don’t cramp my stomach. I need to get off crackers but they are one of the foods that feel safe to eat. Flour products cause me to stay hungry all the time and crave more food. Just can’t handle much meat right now or many veggies. Still eating bland foods for the most part. Maybe in another day or two I will be able to expand my choices.
The door company that replaced my screen any fixed a door at the rental house finally sent me a bill today after I sent them a text to let me know I hadn’t received it. I got that paid and was able to cross that off my pending list. It is nice to cross things off and have a day when I don’t add something else to the list.
Need to put a feed run on my to do list for next week. I don’t want the house sitter to have to go to town to buy feed. I have a list started of things I want to get to take to CO so will get those things when I go to town to buy feed.
Found out some friends of Jim will be in Estes Park Y Camp the same time we are going to be there. It will be fun to have dinner with them one night and get to know them a bit. I have met them briefly before and know I will enjoy spending time with them. Last year two of Jim’s brothers were out there when we were but this year they will have left before we get there.
I’m a bit worried about how much hiking I will be able to do. I have been down for the last month and haven’t gotten much exercise and am horribly out of shape. Add the higher elevation and I may be sucking wind while I am there. Guess I will do what I can and not do what I can’t.
No plans for the weekend except cleaning house and staying cool. I need to clean out our freezers so they will be ready for the beef that is coming when we get home from CO. Not sure how I managed to fill both freezers and not sure what I have in them. Half of the new beef will be going to other places but I will need room to store it until they can pick it up.
Grateful the water leak is fixed, grateful for long afternoon naps, and grateful to be feeling good again.
