Happy birthday to my youngest Nicole. I am so grateful she chose me to be her mother. She has grown into a beautiful, independent, wise woman. I cherish my time with her.
I had a quiet day at home today. Kathy had invited three of our friends over for happy hour this afternoon. It had been a hot minute since I had seen them and it was so good to sit with them and enjoy a deep conversation. I am so blessed to have these ladies in my life.
It was a beautiful day today. The sun came out and stayed out all day. The birds chirped and chirped all day long. I’m impressed we are not having 90 plus degree days yet. Spring has lasted a long time this year.
Trash day was today. After they came and emptied my container I filled it back up again. I got rid of all of the rest of the stuff that needs to go away. It is nice to have my front porch back again free of clutter. I was able to leave enough room in the trash container for what ever trash we have this week. Grateful that part of the project is completed.
I need to go to Emporia tomorrow to get groceries. I had the cat with me Thursday when I went to town and couldn’t stop then. I will need some things before next week. Emporia is crazy busy with the bikers in town but hoping if I just go to Walmart tomorrow and not downtown I can get what I need and get out of there.
The Rodeo parade is tomorrow afternoon at 2:00. Kathy and I may walk downtown and find a spot in the shade and sit and watch the parade. I struggle to make definite decisions 24 hours in advance though. We shall see what tomorrow brings and decide last minute if we are going.
Other than a quick trip for groceries I don’t have any other plans this weekend. Monday we go to KC again and Wednesday I have a doctor’s appointment. The rest of next week is looking free and clear.
Have been having trouble with restless legs lately. It seems to happen in spurts. I will go several weeks/months without having it and then it comes back and I get them most every evening. Drives me a little batty when they flare up. I do have an over the counter medication I take that helps some. What helps the most is a hot bath with Epsom salts. I may take an early bath tonight if my legs don’t quiet down soon.
The in-between feeling is strong in me tonight. I am doing my best to allow it to be what it is and not resist it. Feels like a lot of things are pending and not much I can do about any of them right now. I keep reminding myself this is life and there is really not much that is solid beneath me. I will make a master list of the things that are pending so I don’t forget where things are with them. Sometimes that helps me settle into allowing.
Grateful for my dear friends and their love and support, grateful for the sunny day, and grateful the porch is clean again.
