Another rainy day in Stillwater today. I have been dragging all day long. My get up and go got up and left me behind.
I finished all the face masks I had cut out. I have made 268 masks and am retiring for a bit. Last call if someone needs some masks let me know and I’ll mail some to you. I will find someone to give the rest of them to next week and won’t have any more to give away. If we continue to have to wear masks for the next couple of months I’ll probably make some more later.
It was nice to clean up the sewing machine mess and put it away for a bit. I was so tired of seeing the mess in the dining room.
The workers finished their job today. Jim had them do a bit more work than they had planned to do so he won’t have to go under the house and finish the job. It is nice to know that project is completely crossed off the long to-do list of things that need done on this house.
Jim has worked on cleaning out the closet in the spare bedroom today. When he gets it cleaned out and repaired I will paint it. He also has a door for it that I will need to paint. I also need to paint the boards he put up in the dining room. I didn’t have the energy to paint today.
We haven’t decided if we are going to Strong City to take a load tomorrow or wait until Monday. We have had to get up early all week and a day to sleep in sounds good. Guess we will decide in the morning.
I had another shift on the Crisis Text Hot Line last night. I only took two callers. The first one was easy and the second one was another case where they disengaged before we could get to problem solving. Those are hard cases for me as there is no resolution for either of us. I never know if I have said something wrong or if something happened on their end and they needed to go.
I have volunteered for 9 hours so far and have taken 9 calls. One more call and I will level up and off the newbie list. We have so many volunteers right now that we do a lot of waiting to get someone to chat with. That is a good thing though as texters don’t have to wait to chat with someone like they used to.
We had tacos for dinner tonight. I had laid out some hamburger last night and didn’t know what to do with it. Jim is always up for having tacos and they are easy. I had a taco salad. Now to decide what to fix for tomorrow night.
I texted with the grandkids today. Always fun to text with them. I sure am looking forward to being able to have them over for the night again. It has been over six months since they were able to do that.
We need to go take our walk. It is so icky out I have been dragging my feet getting out and walking today. Jim fell asleep on the couch just now so maybe I’ll get out of taking a walk today. I’m ready to go take my bath and go to bed but it is only 7:30. I’m just not very energetic today.
Grateful the face mask project phase 1 is complete, grateful the foundation project on the house is complete, and grateful for lazy, rainy days.
