Another lazy day in the mountains. We both slept in a bit later than normal this morning. It has been cool and cloudy all day with sprinkles every once in a great while. Good day to stay inside and rest.
I took a NyQuil last night and have a hangover this afternoon. I slept a lot last night and have dosed off and on today.
Jim walked down to his brother’s cabin so I have some peace and quiet this afternoon. I fixed the scalloped potatoes for our dinner tonight and they are in the oven cooking. The ham is in the crock pot and smells divine. Jim helped me cut it to fit in the crock pot before he left for his brother’s cabin. We fixed a cucumber, tomato and onion salad and that will be dinner. Joe’s family is bringing some bread they got at the Farmer’s Market and some veggies. It will be a simple and easy dinner to serve.
I took five calls on the Hot Line last night. Two were intense, one disengaged quickly and the other two were normal calls. It is interesting to me that they seem to come to me in groups of the same crisis. I had three with the same type of crisis last night that I hadn’t handled before. Two of the calls felt very rewarding to me.
We have no plans for tomorrow. Hoping we can get a hike in around the Y Camp. I have been lazy and haven’t walked much the last couple of days. Sunday we have a pass into RMNP at noon but the forecast is for rain again so we might not get to do what we would like to do. We shall see what happens.
Then we will just have Monday and Tuesday next week to get our last hikes in and we will leave for KS on Wednesday morning. Time has flown by while we were here. It will be good to get back on the prairie though.
Grateful for a lazy day in the cabin, grateful for a last dinner with Jim’s brothers and families before they leave tomorrow early morning, and grateful for the Crisis Text Hot Line and the rewards it brings to me.
