Lazy, rainy day on the prairie today. Woke up in the middle of the night to a hail storm. Haven’t noticed any damage yet but it is still misty and foggy out so haven’t done a walk about yet. Got 1/2 inch of rain. Still may get some more rain today and tomorrow early morning.
I had trouble getting back to sleep after the storm woke me up. Texted with Nicole for a bit as she is seven hours ahead of me. Finally got two more short sleeps in for a total of 8 hours of sleep spread out over 13 hours. I didn’t get much deep sleep during the night last night so I’m pretty tired today. May need to take a nap. Rainy days are good napping days. The more sleep I get the more sleep I want.
Finally the scale showed I dropped another pound today. It had been over a week since I had lost weight. Down a total of 12 pounds so far. Loosing about 2 pounds a week. I expect that to slow down to 1 pound a week soon. With my thyroid missing I will take that decrease as it is hard for me to lose weight. My metabolism works very slowly these days.
I had an app that charts my weight. It tells me I have lost 26% of the weight I want to lose. It helps to see it on a graph and see the downward trend overall.
Had someone come pick up two dozen eggs today. We had the best conversation. She is one of those people who I was able to go deep with quickly. I had only met her one other time but feel like I made a new friend. Love when that happens!
I am amazed how many like-minded people I keep meeting that live in Chase County. Something is calling us to this sacred place. Sure helps to have the support of others in times like this with all the nation’s issues. Maybe we are to hold each other and increase the amount of space and love we are able to send out to the world. Some days that doesn’t feel like enough but other days I know in my bones that is what my purpose is right now.
Nothing I need to do today. Knitting and cleaning are on my agenda for the afternoon. Tomorrow I am going to Pioneer Bluffs to help serve a lunch. I will need to make a grocery store run sometime over the next two or three days. It is hard to keep fresh produce in the house as I eat so much of it and I can only buy it so far in advance. I am starting to use more frozen vegetables as they give me more time to use them up.
Grateful for the moisture we received on the prairie overnight, grateful for making a new friend, and grateful for this quiet, foggy day full of moisture.
