Not much sleep again last night. I finally fell asleep around 6:00 this morning. Makes for a long night when I have nights like that.

Went into Emporia for groceries late morning. I forgot to put on my list shoes for the gym so forgot to get those. I did get a small propane grill so we can start grilling our dinner outside and not have to turn the oven on. Kathy volunteered to put it together for us.

I didn’t make it to the gym last night but I did ride my stationary bike for 36 minutes. My plan is to go to the gym this afternoon and do a circuit of the machines. I want to start riding my stationary bike at home daily again. It does help give me more endurance when I am out and about living my life. Not sure I will build back up to the three hours a day I was doing before the Camino.

It is another summer like day. The wind has returned blowing hot air around. It is to reach at least 85 today outside. Thunderstorms are forecast for Wednesday and Thursday. That will help cool things back down a bit.

The coconut milk ice cream is OK. I had a small bite after dinner last night. It is just sweet enough to satisfy. I can’t eat much of it at a time though as it is way too rich. You do have to like coconut to like it. Next time I think I will add some half and half to cut it a bit.

I need to put on my shopping list an outfit to wear to the concert I am going to in Santa Fe. All I have in my wardrobe is jeans and walking pants. I rarely dress up to go anywhere these days. Not my thing any more. The one skirt I do have is too big for me now.

Still looking for a service mission project to go on. Have a couple that sound interesting but nothing that has grabbed me and said this is the one. I would love to find a local volunteer project to do too. I’ll keep looking as I’m sure the right thing will find me sooner or later.

Empty space today. Bright blue skies. It is a beautiful day on the prairie.
