I made chocolate covered peanut butter balls for the grandkids today. Tagen requested them. I usually only make them at Christmas time but I couldn’t say no when he asked me to make them. Jim ran into Emporia this afternoon to get what I needed to make them. I made them this afternoon and we took them to the kiddos a bit ago. Tagen has gotten so tall! I have missed so much of their lives the last six months. I live so close yet it feels so far away when we can’t spend time together.

Other than making the peanut butter balls I haven’t done much today. The day seems to get away from me and I don’t have any idea where the time goes. Before I know it it is time to fix dinner and end the day. Getting good at this doing nothing stuff.

There is a program on at 10:00 tonight that I want to watch. I didn’t take a nap today so hoping I can stay awake and watch it. It is about the photographer that took pictures during Obama’s time in office. It should be interesting to watch.

We don’t have any plans for the weekend. We will stay home and stay safe. I do need to get some cleaning done but that is ongoing and never ending. It is to be in the mid 70’s tomorrow so will get out and paint for a bit. There are wind warnings up but hopefully where I am painting is protected enough that the wind won’t blow the paint in my face.

Monday I go to Topeka to the Gastrointestinal Doctor. I don’t think we have any errands we need to run while we are in town. I just don’t go shopping much these days.

Wednesday is Jim’s birthday. We will probably grill steaks for dinner and have a very small celebration.

We got our ballots in the mail today so will get those filled out this weekend and drop them off Monday. It will be good to have that task done. I am so ready for this election to be over.

I sent a letter to my coach on the hot line today. I haven’t heard back from her. I have taken myself off the schedule for the next 30 days and I will determine if I go back when that time is up.

Feeling a bit lost today. Clearing something off my list always gives me extra time but that can feel weird to me for a bit. Things will settle down soon. I think part of what I am feeling is the not knowing about the C Diff. It will help me settle down when I know what can be done about it.

Grateful to see the grandkids for a hot minute today, grateful Jim went to town for me to get what I needed to make their treats, and grateful for the empty space that’s in my life right now.
