I finally got sleep last night. I was awake a couple times during the night but each time was able to go back to sleep rather quickly. I am tired today but that is normal for me after getting good sleep.
I detail cleaned our bathroom today. I washed the rugs and hand mopped the floor. Found lots of dirt as I hadn’t detail cleaned it for a bit. I even washed the light fixture and woodwork. One room down, five to go. I started the laundry room and may get it done yet tonight – we shall see.
I haven’t worked on any of the boxes we brought back from MA today. I needed to take a break and be fresh when I tackle them again. I still have a bunch to bring in from my car. It will happen – just not sure when. Haven’t touched any of the paperwork either. I needed a break from it all.
I’m grateful it cooled down today. We opened the windows and have let the fresh air blow in. Whatever the smell was is gone. It is to stay in the upper 70’s to lower 80’s for a couple of days so will leave the house open until it warms up again.
No plans for the weekend. I have a haircut Monday late morning so will go to Emporia for that. I will need some groceries by then too. If I remember I need to stop and have a blood draw. I haven’t checked my thyroid levels for a bit. It will be good to have another two full days of stay-at-home time. I feel more of me got home today but am not sure I am at 100% yet. I’m sure by the end of the weekend I will be all home. Cleaning the house is grounding work for me and that helped today.
I called and made a doctor’s appointment today. I discovered last night I have a prolapse that will need some attention. Unfortunately I bet it will need surgery as I am guessing it is a Grade 3 or 4. Wish a doctor would have checked and caught it earlier so I could have tried other measures to support it. My appointment isn’t until the first week of June. When I called, the clerk checked with a nurse to see if they needed to work me in as an emergency and the nurse said it could wait a couple of weeks. Grateful for that information. It is uncomfortable but good to know not urgent.
Enjoying this beautiful spring day. I could live somewhere that has weather like this most days. I may try to get out and take a walk in a bit. I need to move my body and get it home.
Allowing myself grace and time to refill and recharge. Am so grateful I have an empty calendar for the next couple weeks so I can ease into things again. Not sure I could hold myself above neutral if I had to be around lots of people right now.
While I was gone I didn’t read much news or pay much attention to the state of affairs in the world. I read the news for about five minutes today and had to turn it off. I will never understand what our politicians have against poor people. The cruelty of some of the actions they are attempting to take is disheartening, to say the least.
Grateful the bathroom is clean, grateful for this perfect spring day, and grateful for the sounds of silence around me.
