It has been a quiet day at home. My friend came and had three massage clients. Unfortunately I fell asleep while she was doing her last client and missed out on my chance to get a massage. I’m not sure why I am sleeping so much these days but will take the sleep. I’m sad I missed the massage though.

Jim went to the rental house late afternoon and did the final mow. He came home tired, hot and dirty. I’m glad we don’t have to mow again. He reported the handyman is almost finished with the painting of the house. Yay! What a relief to have that done. I will go look at it tomorrow. As we have time and energy there is more yard work that needs done at the rental house. All of it can wait though until it is cooler. After the handyman burns the big burn pile again I need to use the big rolling magnet and look for nails. I still need to get a small part of the foundation fixed but that isn’t urgent either.

My stomach cramping is better but I made four trips to the bathroom today. I took the last of the medication that I think is causing my sleepiness. I will be curious to see if the sleeping so much part of this goes away in the next couple of days. It has been three weeks since this all started. I can tell I am getting better but still not back to any sense of normal yet.

I fixed Jim stuffed chicken breast tonight. He was so hot and tired he didn’t eat much dinner. I had a few bites of plain chicken. I wasn’t too hungry either.

I did go out late morning and finished mowing the yard. I had mowed most of it last night. It is good to have that job done again. If we don’t get rain tomorrow as forecast I won’t have to mow for a bit. It is amazing how dry we are getting again.

No plans for the rest of the weekend. My jury duty responsibilities got cancelled for Monday so that frees up next week. I want to go to KC one day next week and do a Costco run and have lunch with Nicole. I need to call Monday and schedule a hair cut sometime next week. Trusting I will be feeling well enough to get those two things done.

I almost am feeling good enough to start thinking of coming up with a project to work on. I have a few minutes today where I had the energy to have done something but couldn’t come up with anything that needed done. It will be a switch for me now that the rental house project is wrapping up. That project consumed my time and energy these last six months. It is nice to have empty space again but I do like having a project to work on.

Grateful to see my friend today, grateful the yards are both mowed, and grateful for a moment of feeling much better today.
