Got up at 6:00 this morning to fix breakfast for our guests. We had scrambled eggs, bacon, and toast. They ate and left before 7:45 this morning. They had a safe trip to Estes Park and are in their home away from home tonight. They will be there for five weeks.
Went to Emporia at 8:00 this morning and picked up Ellexia and took her to her dental appointment. I went to Dillon’s and got some groceries and she was done when I went back to the dentist office. I was almost to her house taking her home when she decided she wanted to spend the day at my house. We stopped at her house and she got a sweat shirt and we headed back to my house.
I fixed her blueberry pancakes and scrambled eggs when we got here. She helped me gather eggs three times today.
We went in after she ate breakfast and painted at the rental house for about two hours. Ellexia did a nice job painting and made the job get done quickly. We got all the replacement shingles painted. I have a bit of ladder work on the back of the house to do tomorrow and then all but the front peak of the gray color will be painted.
Ellexia was so good today. She and Jim had fun together. Ellexia and I laid down to rest – I fell asleep but she got up and visited with Jim while I took a nap.
We took her back into town around 5:30.
The Endocrinologist office called today to let me know my new thyroid medication had been approved. The appeal I wrote worked. We stopped and picked that up when we took Ellexia to town. I have to pay $49.13 a month but that is better than $140 a month.
I have had a touch of diarrhea again this afternoon. I don’t think it is C-Diff as I don’t have a fever or cramps and it isn’t extreme diarrhea like I had before. I had chicken noodle soup for dinner as a precaution hoping that it will help settle my tummy and this stuff will be gone tomorrow. I am feeling a bit drained after having diarrhea for two days in a row.
We missed the rain that was all around us last night and this morning. It sprinkled on our way home from Emporia this morning but even that stopped before we got home. More rain is in the forecast for Friday and Saturday this week but again I will believe when I see it. I did enjoy the cooler temperatures today. We only reached the high 70’s today. What a welcome change from the 90’s and 100’s we have been having. It is to be in the mid 80’s tomorrow and then a return to the 90’s after that.
I hope to go in and paint some more in the morning. I want to finish up the gray color and then start on the trim painting. Some of the windows still need scraped but some are ready to be painted. We will see how much work I can get done tomorrow. Part of it will depend on how I am feeling- I am a bit drained tonight but hoping by tomorrow I will be back to normal.
Tomorrow and Wednesday are free days for me. Nothing on my calendar. I am ready for some empty space again. I hope to get some painting done but other than that I am free. I have some phone calls to make to try to get some things knocked off my to-do list but I have to me in the right mood to make those. Maybe that mood will strike and I can get some things taken care of.
Grateful for the day with Ellexia today, grateful for the company that spent the night, and grateful my appeal was successful and I can try the new medication.
