Another lazy day for me. Having trouble finding motivation to get much done. I did take two packages to the post office this morning and mailed them. Added another panel to the baby blanket I am knitting. Mowed some of the tall grass on the rocky ledge in my yard. It is hard mowing as the grass is tough and tall. I have to make two passes to get it all cut. Came in and took a shower as I was dirty and dusty. Hard to get all the dirt out of my ears and other body cracks and crevices.
I did cross something off my 70 things I want to do before I turn 70 list. I usually make a huge mess when I fill my mower with gas and spill it all over the mower and usually get some on my shoes. On my list was to be able to fill my mower with gas and not spill a drop. I did that today! It is the little things in life that give me a big thrill!
Need to go find some food. Not in the mood to cook and I realized last night I have not been eating much this week. All I have wanted to do is sleep and rest. I have been kinda cranky all week. It seems to come and go but mainly comes. A bit of sadness behind it too. Not sure if it is the summer solstice energy or just still worn out from the weekend. What ever it is it can go away soon. I have been doing my best to allow it to be what it is and not sit in resistance to it but I am getting tired of it today.
Tomorrow afternoon is an event at Pioneer Bluffs I probably should go help with. If the cranky stuff goes away I will go. Not sure they want me to come if I am still cranky.
I love the cooler temperatures today. I may turn my A/C off and give it a break. It is to stay cool for several days. Much prefer sleeping with the windows open.
A friend was gong to come have an energy session this afternoon but had trouble getting a rental car and cancelled. Probably worked out for the best for both of us. Not sure I would have been able to do her much good today in the mood I am in.
Ordered a book about the Kumano Kodo. I’m anxious to learn more about it and find out just how physically challenging it is. Course I didn’t always find the predicted hard days on my Camino so hard and I found some days they said would be easy to be hard. The mental aspect of a walk like this is the biggest deciding factor I learned.
Cranky today. This too shall pass. All is well and much cooler on the prairie today.
Going to Pioneer Bluffs sounds like just the thing to get yourself feeling better… I hope you do feel better! It was over a year ago when I spent a weekend at Starry Night during the Symphony in the Flint Hills weekend. That was one of my favorite weekends! I told a new friend of mine, Julie Coleman, about Starry Night and how wonderful you are. She wants to go to one of your events… me too… will have to watch for one! Lovely day today, air is so cool!
