Another day almost done and another day in which I have no idea where the time went to. I haven’t done anything of any importance today. Really not sure where the day has gone.
I delivered eggs to a customer in Cottonwood Falls around noon. My other regular weekly customer didn’t need any this week. A friend came over and got two dozen this afternoon. I still have three dozen in my refrigerator. They come in faster than I am able to sell them.
Jim is out taking a hike. It is too windy and cold for me to go. I am a wuss. I do not like walking in cold, windy weather.
I laid down for a bit this afternoon but didn’t sleep much. It felt good to lay down though and rest. I didn’t sleep very well last night. I was up between 3:00 and 6:00 and then got one more hour of sleep after that. One of the biggest mysteries in my life is understanding why I sleep sometimes but most often do not sleep well.
One of my memories on Facebook said that six years ago Tagen was spending the day with me. We were going to go outside to do something and he took a while to come out. When I asked him what he had been doing when he finally came outside he said he had to stop and take a scratch. That made me smile. I’m glad I have a record of some of the cute things my grandkids have said over the years.
We are having leftover Ham and Corn Chowder for dinner tonight. That will be easy. Now to decide what to fix for tomorrow night.
When we were coming home from Florence yesterday the light that indicates the parking brake is on came on in Jim’s car. The parking brake wasn’t on so he wants to get that checked out before he drives the car to Stillwater this week. He will try to get that taken care of tomorrow.
I finally lost a few pounds today. I had been stuck on the same weight for over six weeks. I had decided that was going to be where my body was going to stay at. I don’t have a goal in mind this time. I am eating what I think is the right amount for me and I’ll see where what my body decides is the ideal weight for me with this amount of food. It is nice to be getting back down again though. My jeans are much more comfortable now. I am still 12 pounds higher than the lowest I got before. It’s been over a year since I was at this weight. Glad I have been able to drop some of the weight I had gained.
I need to go to the bank and to get a few groceries sometime this week. Jim needs to go to the post office to get two international stamps. He also needs to get his car looked at so he might run the errands for us this week. Since I got out yesterday I am good at staying home the rest of the week.
I have my car loaded with recycling stuff that needs to get dumped in the trailer in Cottonwood Falls. They usually have the trailer empty by afternoon tomorrow so it is easier to dump stuff in. If I remember I will drive over and dump it tomorrow sometime. It is amazing how much recycling material we dump every other week or so.
I’m in the mood to make cinnamon rolls again so may make those tomorrow and share with the kids. I don’t eat them but I love to smell them. Jim enjoys them.
My mind has been quiet today. I will be able to breathe more easily after Wednesday and the new president is installed. I keep waiting to hear about trouble in the state capitals or in DC. I truly trust that things will quiet down nationally and the government will start functioning more efficiently again. In my opinion it is still very broken but it is what it is. Not much I can do about any of it.
Grateful for a quiet day at home, grateful for my egg customers, and grateful for leftovers that give me a night off from cooking.
