I did my egg delivery today. I included two cinnamon rolls from the rolls I baked last night when I sacked up the eggs to deliver. I was in the mood to bake something and Jim said he would eat cinnamon rolls. He can’t eat two pans full though. I posted on Facebook that my house smelled divine while the rolls were cooking and a friend asked if I delivered. I took her some along with a dozen eggs. I left them at the wrong house. She went on an Easter egg hunt and found them. We both had a laugh about it. Luckily the house I left them at was her mother’s house so a stranger didn’t get involved.
I haven’t gotten anything else done today other than chores. The girls gave us 18 eggs today. I’m surprised they have stayed outside most of the day in the rain. It has rained off and on most of the day. Luckily it is over 36 out so it has come as rain and not ice or snow. My gauge shows we got 3/4 of an inch of rain so far. I’m grateful for every drop.
Jim went to town this afternoon to get something from town. I should have waited and we could have made one trip to town today instead of two but all is well. He probably needed to get out for a hot minute too.
We are having leftovers for dinner so I don’t need to do much to get dinner ready tonight. I may go take a nap when I finish writing. I slept better last night as my arm didn’t keep waking me up. It is feeling much better today and only occasionally yells at me. I’m sure by tomorrow it will be all well. My tummy has been a bit upset today. I think I remember it did this a few days after I took my cholesterol shots last time. Trusting it isn’t a sign that the C-Diff is returning. We will see what it decides to do.
I did get a bit of knitting done today. My arm was so sore the last couple of days that I couldn’t knit for long before it yelled loudly at me. It did much better today while I was knitting. My eyes were getting sleepy and this knitting project is one that I have to stay focused on and it is hard to work on when I am tired. I need to get an easier project on the needles too so I can work on it when I am tired.
Tomorrow we get to take the trash to the curb. It is the highlight of the week out here on the prairie. Ha! We don’t need any groceries so far this week so not sure when we might go to town next. Guess we will stay tucked in at home this week and enjoy the peace and quiet of the hills.
The Symphony office called and asked for some help doing a newsletter. They are going to bring the pieces that need stuffed to me to work on sometime next week. I told them I was practicing distancing and couldn’t come to them. That will give me a project for next week. They have a huge mailing list and it usually takes them a week or more to get it all together to mail. Not sure how many I will do. Grateful my arm will be better by then.
If I take a nap I will get on the hot line tonight if they need help. Usually they are busy enough to need another set of hands any night after 11:00. I can’t stay up that late unless I take a nap.
If anyone is looking for the new prairie quarters the Tallgrass Prairie Preserve has them. I was able to get a roll of them last week. They told Jim they were wanting to get rid of them. They are open most days from 9:00 -4:00. Let me know if you need me to runner and get some for you. I did that for my Aunt Marylyn as she was looking for some.
The weather today kinda matches my mood – a bit blah today. A day to stay inside and do some internal work on myself. It is the type of day that invites me to slow down and go within.
Grateful for the rain we received on the prairie today, grateful my friend found her gift of eggs after having to go on an Easter egg hunt, and grateful my arm is feeling much better.
