Where did June go? I can’t believe it is the last day of June already. I am so out of time these days that the calendar doesn’t hold much meaning to me and I get surprised when I tune in to it for a bit.
I went to Emporia early afternoon and Tagen helped me fill my car with another load of Michelle’s things. We haven’t unloaded it yet and will do that when Michelle gets off work tonight. While I was in town I stopped and picked up a prescription that was ready to go home.
Tagen and his girlfriend are swimming this afternoon at the Cottonwood Falls pool. They invited me to go with them but it is too hot to be outside. It is over 100 again today with the heat index reaching well above 100.
I did some laundry today. Tagen had to wait for a pair of shorts to get dried so he could shower and get ready for the day. I ordered him two more pair so I don’t have to do laundry every other day.
I am grilling us some steaks for dinner tonight. Still working on cleaning out the freezer so I have room for the beef that will be coming in August. Tough duty to eat up steaks but I think we can manage that tonight. It will make for an easy dinner to fix and serve.
Tomorrow Kathy and I are going to Lawrence to our nephew’s wedding. Jason and Nicole and their families are meeting us there. Not sure if Michelle and Tagen are coming or not. It will be good to get out of the house and go somewhere. I look forward to seeing some extended family members I haven’t seen for a while.
Haven’t made any plans for the fourth holiday. I enjoy watching fireworks from a distance but not a big fan of watching them in a crowd of people. Since I am retired I don’t get an extra day off anymore as everyday is like a day off.
I did a bit of housecleaning today but always seem to have more to do. I also need to get out and do some mowing. It is to cool off tomorrow so may try to get it done then. We have a good chance for some rain tomorrow so we will see what happens with that plan. I much prefer we get rain over being able to mow but am not betting money that we will get rain.
Next week is another quiet week for me. I don’t have anything on my calendar. I have a few friends I need to make contact with so may try to do that next week. It would be good for me to have lunch with a friend or two and have some adult conversation. Things have been a bit unsettled around here and getting out for a bit would be good for me.
Ellexia and I only have three weeks before our cruise. I need to start thinking about what I want to take with me and making sure I have what I need. It will be time to fly to LA before I know it.
I have been a bit surprised that I have been able to hold myself at or above the neutral level of consciousness for these last two weeks. I have dipped below a couple of times but have managed to pull myself up each time rather quickly. When my normal routine gets broken I normally dip below and stay there for a while. A sign of progress that it didn’t happen this time, maybe?
Grateful another load of things has been brought to the house, grateful for Tagen’s help loading this morning,and grateful for steaks in the freezer that need eaten.
