Kathy got off on her adventure a little before 7:00 this morning. Trusting she will travel safe and easy.
It feels like it should be afternoon already and it is only 9:30. Not sure why this day is dragging slowly. I have gotten several things done already and am running out of little projects to do today. Did some more work in the pantry. Cleaned out my tool bag and reorganized some other things. I really dislike not being able to quickly put my hands on what I am looking for. Reducing how much stuff I have helps but keeping what I need organized is vital to my mental health!
I have a small power screw driver but can’t find the charging cord. I have two more places to look and if I can’t find it I will throw it away. No use having it if I can’t use it. It is so small it doesn’t do a lot of good anyways. I have a bigger one down in the barn. It is heavy though and my arms get tired when I use it.
Got my federal income tax return back already today. It only took one week. Good job feds! I treated myself and ordered a Fitbit. As I start to get more active I want to track my progress. I also want to track my sleeping patterns to see if I can discover something helpful.
Got the results of my thyroid levels back yesterday. They had dropped from 1.6 to 1.111. I think I read that when you start the Bright Line Eating plan it can cause your levels to drop temporarily and then after two or three months they bounce back up. The doctor doesn’t want to change my dose of medication so I sent her the pharmacies fax form so I can get a 90 day supply at a time instead of monthly. I can refill after two months so if I decide to take a long trip I have enough pills.
Have a meeting to go to this afternoon. May go to music tonight in Cottonwood Falls if I am not too tired. I really need to make myself get out more.
Need to go do a critter check before I leave for the meeting. They all seem to be enjoying this beautiful spring-like day on the prairie. My girls are laying at least a dozen eggs a day. They are enjoying all the veggie scraps I now generate. I don’t have to give them lettuce everyday as they get enough greens without it.
Did a bit of work in my storage room and discovered I only have three more totes of shawl and blanket yarn left! I still have three other totes of other yarn to work up. That will be more of a challenge to work up as most of it takes smaller needles and the projects take much longer. It is nice to have more space in that room though with three totes gone so far. Makes me feel hopeful that someday I will get it all worked up.
I was thinking it was time to deep clean every room again. Last time I did that was last September and I ran into problems as that is when I had my thyroid storm and ended up in the hospital for two nights. What a shit storm that started. I have had 33 doctor appointments or procedures since then. Thankfully things are slowing down. Hard to believe that all started six months ago. Grateful for the way things turned out as they looked pretty dark at times during it. The cancer is gone and I am on my way to much better health. I must have needed to be knocked down hard for me to get my lesson. Sometimes I am a bit slow to understand what the universe is trying to tell me.
Grateful for this beautiful spring-like day on the prairie, grateful for the ease and peace in my life right now, and grateful for all the friends I have in life now.
