I went into Ad Astra for dinner last night and to listen to Annie Wilson and her group sing. It was a delightful evening. There were several people at the restaurant that I knew. I ended up sitting by Annie’s husband John and eating dinner with him. I’m glad I got out on a very cold night. The restaurant was nice and warm and the friends made it cozy.
Today I met a dear friend and we drove to Council Grove to have lunch at Hay’s House. The drive was beautiful, the company delightful and the food was good. It was good to get out of the house and drive through the hills. I’m so blessed to have the friends I do and enjoy spending time with them.
I took a nap when I got home. I slept in bits and pieces last night and guess I was still tired. I had been sitting in my chair and kept falling asleep so decided to lay down. I slept really good for a bit. Got a phone call from someone looking for beds for the Symphony on the Prairie weekend in June. I am booked for that weekend.
It has basically been another non-productive day. Can’t say I got anything done other than lunch with my friend. That made it a good day – just not a productive one. Not sure why I can’t get motivated to do anything. Good thing I don’t have anything that needs to be done.
Tomorrow I have to be in Emporia by 9:00 to do another tax shift. Need to remember to stop by the pharmacy and pick up the last tube of the anti-inflammatory medication for my bunions. The prescription was for three tubes which the pharmacy has had trouble getting in stock. The one I will pick up tomorrow is the last of the three to come in.
I do need to do a bit of house cleaning tomorrow or Wednesday. I am leaving Thursday to go see my Match guy in OK and have a house sitter coming to stay in the house while I am gone. I haven’t cleaned downstairs for a bit and need to touch it up some. Amazing how much dust blows in, even in the winter time.
It was cold doing chicken chores again today. At least the sun was shining which makes it feel warmer than it was. The wind was brutal again. I cheated and drove my car down to get the mail. I do not like the cold wind blowing on my face. I haven’t let warm since I came back in from doing chores. Only got three eggs today – barely worth making the trip down to the coop. Guess I will give the girls some slack though as it is too cold to lay an egg.
Haven’t heard from my accountant about my taxes. Usually by know I have had a request for more information. Trusting he is working on my taxes and will have them done soon. I doubt that I get a refund but would like to know if I have to pay.
Hard to believe that Spring Equinox is just around the corner. The light has been returning and soon we will have a day of equal light and darkness. A day of perfect balance. Spring Equinox is a good time to look at the balance in your life and give gratitude for the ways that you notice balance and set intentions for the places where a better balance would serve you. Maintaining balance in life is a huge challenge for me sometimes. I tend to swing and staying grounded, centered and in balance is hard for me.
Grateful for the beautiful sunset tonight, grateful for a dear friend that went to lunch with me today, and grateful Spring will be here soon.
