It felt good to sleep in my own bed last night. I woke up around 2:00 and wasn’t able to go back to sleep until about 3:30. Then I woke up at 7:00 and couldn’t go back to sleep. Not sure why that happened.
Got up and put on old clothes and went out and finished up the mowing. Feels good to have that job done for a week or so. I got over half of it done yesterday so only had about an hour or so to do this morning.
Came in from mowing and took a shower and had breakfast. Did a load of laundry and made up a guest bed. Did my animal chores and then sat in my corner chair and took some deep breaths. It was good to spend the whole day at home.
Kathy got home late afternoon from her adventure back east. It is good to have her back home. Things are slowly returning to normal around here.
Michelle and Tagen are spending the night. Tagen has a doctor’s appointment in the morning at 8:30 and I am going to take him to that. He got a concussion in football camp and he needs a doctor’s note to clear him to return to driving and work. After we get done with the doctor’s appointment we are going to pick up Ellexia and go out for breakfast.
Depending on what the doctor says, Tagen may or may not come home with me. If he gets cleared he will want to get his car and do some things he hasn’t been able to do this last week.
I fixed green chicken in the crock pot for dinner. I emptied the crock pot and put it in the kitchen sink so I could wash it. I set the lid to the crock pot in the sink behind the crock pot and the lid shattered. Not sure why it did that. I sent a note to Hamilton Beach to see if they will replace the lid. If not, I will order one off of Amazon. I have never had one do that before. I’m grateful it shattered in the sink and contained the broken pieces of glass. It would have created a safety hazard if it had broken on the counter.
After I get home from taking Tagen to the doctor I don’t have anything I have to do tomorrow. It will be good to have another quiet day at home. Wednesday afternoon I need to pick up a grocery order at Walmart and then in the evening we are having our Summer Solstice ceremony.
I do need to start cleaning the house so it is ready for the three guests that are coming Friday afternoon and staying until Monday morning. I might get that started tomorrow afternoon if the mood strikes.
Summer temperatures have hit the prairie. It was 90 today and is going to be close or over 90 all week. That will dry everything out quickly. We do have a good chance for rain this weekend but I don’t trust the forecast that far out. I would welcome any rain we can get, even if it comes on the weekend.
I tried taking a nap this afternoon but couldn’t go to sleep. I’m thinking I will go to bed early tonight and hopefully sleep all night. I will have to get up early tomorrow as we need to be on our way to Emporia by 7:50.
Still in a good head space. It felt good to get the lawn mowed and to stay home all day. It is good to have Kathy home and I will enjoy Michelle and Tagen here tonight. We shall see what tomorrow brings.
Grateful Kathy had a safe trip home, grateful to have had a stay at home day, and grateful no one was hurt when the crock pot lid broke.
