My shoulders are sore and tight.  I have been working on and off all day on the Pioneer Bluffs Newsletter.  Only have about 150 more to stuff and then I need to glue about 600 of them and this project will be done.  Not sure if I will finish them tonight or wait until morning.  Always glad when it is done.

This has been one of those days where I go to start something, see something else that needs done and then forget what I was originally going to do.  I have little piles of uncompleted tasks all over the house.  Not sue why I am so scatter brained today.  I headed out to feed the chickens several times today and never did make it down there.

It rained most of the day but it was a light sprinkle and only got 1/4 inch in the gauge.  I opened the windows and turned off the A/C this morning.  It has been nice having fresh air in the house today.  Only going to be in the mid 80’s next week so may leave the A/C off.  60’s at night so will make for some good sleeping weather.  The sun is to return to the prairie Sunday and hang around all week next week.  It has been on vacation all week and I am starting to miss it.

Tomorrow I need to be at Pioneer Bluffs by 12:30 to help with an event they are having tomorrow.  Come see me if you are free – I’ll be there all afternoon.

Sunday a friend is coming for a healing session around noon and in the afternoon I have been invited to a birthday party by the river.  They are having a live band and it will be a beautiful afternoon to sit outside and enjoy good conversation and good live music.

Sometime this weekend I need to do some housecleaning.  I have managed to ignore it and I don’t think I can for much longer.  Not sure if my guests will be around the house tomorrow or if they will find something fun to do.  I try to get the housework done when they aren’t here but sometimes I just need to get it done.

Haven’t heard from the guy in CO so am starting to think he isn’t going to respond.  The other guy from KS sent another email today.  He is going on a business trip tomorrow and when he gets back he wants to set a time for us to actually meet in person.  We’ll see where this one goes – or not.  I’m a little gun-shy at this point.  Learning to enjoy the process and not to anticipate what may or may not happen.

I ordered some stainless steel straws that fit in my Yeti cups.  So far I am liking them. I had ordered some glass straws earlier but they were too fat to fit in the lid.  I had finally run out of the McDonald straws I had hoarded when we sold the stores.  They lasted over five years!  Time for me to act more responsible towards Mother Nature and quit using plastic straws.

Felt good to be in service today.  I’ll need to soak a little longer than normal in my Epsom salt bath tonight to work the tightness out of my shoulders.  I didn’t take a nap today so maybe tonight will be the night that I get some good sleep at last.  It has been a bit since I have gotten a good night’s sleep.

Grateful the Newsletter project is almost done, grateful for cooler temperatures and being able to have the house windows open, and grateful this day is almost over and that I haven’t had a major oops as scatter brained as I have been.
