Today has been a rest and recovery day. I haven’t had to run to the bathroom which is good news. I’ve been really tired today though and haven’t had much energy. Good thing there was nothing that had to be done.
I did my egg delivery late morning. The eggs don’t seem to be piling up so quickly on me right now. Tim took two dozen home yesterday and I used three dozen over the weekend so I could make deviled eggs and potato salad. I’m glad they are moving on out.
We went to the rental house this afternoon to see the painting work that the handyman is doing. What a difference it is making to the house. I’m getting excited to see it all done. The house really looks nice. Once we get the painting done we can turn the mowing over to the renter. We will have to mow it one more time and then that job will be done. When I go to town tomorrow I will need to pick up one more gallon of trim paint and then I think we will be done buying paint.
I fixed Jim stuffed peppers for dinner. I wanted to make some rice for me to eat and had some hamburger thawed and two peppers that needed used up. He said it was good – I had never made it before. I had chicken noodle soup with rice added. I decided to go easy on my tummy today and see if it would help it settle down. It seems to have worked but we will see how tomorrow goes.
I took a nap this afternoon. I seem to need lots of extra rest right now. I was sitting in my chair reading and fell asleep. It is only 7:00 now and I could go to bed for the night already. I still may although I’m afraid if I did I would wake up at 3:00 and not be able to sleep any more. One of the side effects of the second medication the doctor gave me last week is fatigue.
I kept smelling something icky in the kitchen. I finally figured out it was one of the pans of wheat berries that I sprout for the chickens. Not sure why this pan went bad – this is the first time that this has happened. Glad I figured out what the smell was so I could get rid of it.
I need to go to Emporia in the morning to pick up a prescription, go to the bank and get more paint. I don’t have many groceries on my list but will pick up the few I need.
Jim is buying a saw of some sort from a lady in Emporia and we will need to go pick that up tomorrow sometime. He teaches his last class tomorrow late afternoon. He sure enjoys teaching and spends lots of time getting ready for the classes. I think his next class will be in October sometime.
Feeling a bit discouraged again today. I am so tired of not feeling well and feeling so drained. I may call the doctor tomorrow and make an appointment. I have the feeling we are missing something. I need to talk to the doctor about what to eat. It is hard to find things that don’t make my tummy cramp when I eat.
Grateful for the painting that got done on the rental house today, grateful the experiment making stuffed peppers turned out good, and grateful I can rest whenever my body needs it.
