Got up late this morning after not sleeping well last night. Took my shower and headed into town for my fasting blood draw. Stopped to get some groceries and then came home.
The baby chicks survived their first night in the big house. They seem happier having more room to play in. They didn’t sleep on the roosting bars – they probably don’t have the leg strength yet to support themselves all night. They like to jump up on them and sit for a while and then hop down and run around.
They seem to have found the feeder and watering containers as both had lots missing this morning. I turned the heat lamp off before I went to town and when I got home opened some windows for them. The closed up coop gets mighty hot on days like this.
Started embroidery work on another set of tea towels. Heavens knows why as I have lots of sets already done. Just trying to clean out some totes and found some blank tea towels. Have three of the set of seven done so far.
Completed 10 more masks today. I only have about 15 more to sew and then I have to start cutting sheets into pieces for the next bunch of masks. That part is the part that seems to take the longest and nothing to show for the time spent.
Have a friend coming to spend two nights starting tomorrow evening. I’ll need to get downstairs later today or sometime tomorrow and make sure the basement is in good order. I’m sure the floors need dusted as well as the furniture. It will be nice to have him here again. He is one of my house sitters occasionally along with his wife and family. I enjoy visiting with him when he comes.
Did some laundry but haven’t done much else today. Am feeling much better but can tell I am still not 100% – getting closer everyday though.
Tim and the kiddos got released from quarantine today. They are free to rejoin the world. Michelle hasn’t gotten moved to recovered status yet but is getting closer everyday. She is still weak from not moving much the last two weeks but is regaining her strength bit by bit.
We are having leftovers again tonight. The refrigerator is full of leftovers and it seems silly to make new stuff when we need to eat the old stuff up. Jim is good about eating leftovers. Maybe tomorrow night I will fix something fresh.
A heat wave has descended upon the prairie. There are big cracks in the yard as it has dried out again. Possibility of rain over the weekend but I will believe it when I see it. The heat drains me very quickly when I am outside working.
Other than my Crisis Text Hot Line Shifts this week I have nothing else on my calendar this week. I will relish my empty space time. Still not sure when Jim is going to Stillwater. He wanted to make sure I was fully recovered before he left again. He has found some projects to do here and has been staying busy working on them. He has lots of things on his to do list.
Grateful Tim and the kiddos are released from quarantine, grateful Michelle is feeling much better, and grateful the chicks like the big house.
