It has been yet another quiet day on the prairie. I haven’t spoken to anyone all day today. It warmed up to the low 60’s today. Felt a bit like Spring on the prairie.
My sister Kathy wrote in her blog today her plans so now I can talk about it too. She is moving back to KS and is going to live with me. We are both excited about it. Kathy came to live with me in January, 2017 when I needed her help. We spent almost two years living together until she moved to KY and then she moved back to CT. It will be good to have her back home.
Kathy’s daughter and two of her children are driving to Kansas with Kathy the first week of March and then will fly back to CT. I’m excited to have Joy and her twins come to KS. It has been too long since they have been here. I’m glad Kathy isn’t making that long drive alone.
I had seriously considered selling this house and moving to something smaller but with Kathy coming I will be able to stay here. I have loved living in this house more than any other house I have ever lived in. It is way too big for only one person though. Bigger than two people need to but it eases my conscious a bit.
I got some cleaning downstairs done today. Didn’t get the whole basement cleaned but got a good start on it. Found lots of dust and dirt. I couldn’t remember the last time I had dusted the woodwork on the staircase. Guess it was way overdue as it was really dusty.
Tomorrow I go to Topeka late morning for my semi-annual throat ultrasound and a blood draw. I will stop and get lunch before I come home. I want to stop and get some more deck paint at Home Depot too. I will have to go back to Topeka to see the Nurse and get the results of the ultrasound and blood test a week from Thursday. February has turned into a self-care month for me.
I fell asleep in my chair this afternoon. I slept good last night so not sure why I was tired but I will take sleep whenever it finds me. I woke up feeling a bit out of it but finally woke up and felt better. I am watching a few more episodes of Madam Secretary. This show keeps getting better and better.
Sure hope we get the rain that is in the forecast for the night. We are really dry and need rain badly. All the ponds are really low. Burning season will be here before we know it and we need some moisture to lessen the risk.
Grateful Kathy is coming home, grateful some cleaning got done, and grateful for extra sleep today.
