I wonder how long it will take before the days of the weeks feel like they are correct? For the life of me I can’t seem to keep them straight these days.

Jim and I went in to Emporia this afternoon and dropped off two dozen eggs at Jason’s house and then two more at Michelle’s house. One of the cartons we dropped off at Jason’s house had a fairy egg in it. They are fun to see and open as they are yolkless.

We stopped at the Vet’s office and picked up the flea and tic medication for the dogs and cats and came home. I didn’t have anything on my grocery list so we didn’t have to stop and get any groceries.

Dropped off two more dozen eggs at a friend’s house on the way home. It was good to see them for a hot minute. I told her we have joined the loony tunes bunch. Somedays it is easy to go with the flow and some days I am in strong resistance and sick of social distancing and staying away from friends and family. Today was a hard day for me – I so wanted to hug my granddaughter and my friend.

Came home and we both took a nap. Jim had worked last night to install a new software program and ran into problems. He gave up late night and had trouble sleeping knowing he was going to have to deal with it when he got up. Luckily when he got back to it this morning the error message had disappeared and the program worked. He downloaded all his photos to it and can now start playing with it. New things like that are hard for him.

The girls gave me a dozen eggs this morning. I haven’t been back down this afternoon to see if there were any late layers. The eggs are much cleaner since we cleaned out their coop.

We are to get a bit of a winter storm starting tonight and into tomorrow. I have a haircut scheduled for 10:30 in the morning. We will see if I am able to make it in. We need the moisture but I really dislike ice and slick roads.

I am heating up leftovers for Jim for dinner tonight. With all the eggs out of the refrigerator I now have room in there again and found some leftovers that need used up. I will grill myself a hamburger again. Tomorrow I will need to fix something fresh. If it is going to be cold and wet tomorrow I may fix chili or a soup of some kind in the crock pot.

I have three repeats done on the blanket I am making. I would like to do five more but may not have enough yarn. We will see how far I can go. Darn, I may have to place another yarn order. I need a minimum amount so I don’t have to pay shipping so will have to order my next project too. I really didn’t plan that but won’t cry if that happens.

I haven’t gotten much done today besides knitting. It feels like this is a pause time of some sort for me right now. Not sure what that even means yet but am honoring the feeling. I’m not pushing myself to do anything and slowing down a bit. There doesn’t seem to be any rush in getting anything done. We aren’t going anywhere and no one is coming over. There is a long winter ahead of me and no use rushing through it. Time to slow down and be.

Grateful the eggs have found homes, grateful for long afternoon naps, and grateful for knitting that keeps my hands busy and stills my mind.
