Had a nice drive through the fog to Council Grove late morning. I met a friend for lunch and a nice long visit. It is a wonderful thing to be able to share my journey with someone that gets it. As always, we had a great visit and I enjoyed our time together.
Drove home and went to Emporia to pick some things up for our family Christmas that will be held Saturday. I also got some binders so I could finish up a project that had been sitting on my desk for a bit. Got that project taken care of this afternoon. I love when I can finish up projects that have been sitting for a bit.
The fog has continued all day today. I had to use my wipers to and from Council Grove but not sure we have gotten very much moisture. I was hoping for a good, long rain but we didn’t get that. I will take what ever moisture we get though. Grateful the temperatures were well above freezing and the roads did not get slick.
The store in Emporia was out of a couple things I needed. I’m still not used to shortages. I guess I could have stopped at a different store but wanted to get home. I will need to go back to Emporia later this week and will check again for the things they were out of today. If they don’t have them by then, I will need to go to a different store to find them.
I haven’t gotten any more cleaning done today. I may still get downstairs this evening and do another floor or two. It is so nice to walk downstairs and see open space and empty rooms. I don’t have anything on my calendar this week so have plenty of time to get everything cleaned before Saturday.
I had ordered a lock set for my back door about two months ago. The locksmith finally called today and told me they had gotten it in and will be out Friday to install it. Kinda late for what I wanted it for but grateful it will be taken care of soon. This will enable me to be able to secure the house when I am gone. Living out here by myself I need to become more aware of personal safety and to take reasonable precautions.
I’m tired this afternoon. I may go to bed early again. I was in bed by 8:00 last night. I finally got a good night’s sleep last night. Seems like when I do get sleep, it makes me feel more tired the next day. Wonder if I can sleep for two nights in a row? That would be a miracle if that happened.
I fixed my Apple Watch. I was having trouble pairing it to my new iPhone. I turned my iPhone off and then back on and tried pairing my watch and it worked. My watch is four or five years old and will need replaced this year as they will no longer do updates for it sometime later this year. Gotta love how technology changes so fast that your devices get outdated before they wear out.
Grateful for time with a dear friend, grateful I got my watch paired, and grateful for the moisture the prairie is receiving.
