Cold, windy day on the prairie. The wind has blown between 20 – 30 MPH since last night. It was a bit of a restless night listening to the wind blow all night long.
Pain woke me up during the night. I should have taken a pain pill but decided not to. Finally took one early afternoon. I don’t like the side effects of feeling drugged and sluggish. Took a long nap this afternoon and still feel tired and foggy.
Made chili for dinner tonight. It was OK but not exceptional by any means. Chili is not something I have learned to make well.
Haven’t gotten much of anything done today. Knitted a bit on a baby blanket I am making and worked on a puzzle. Not motivated to do anything on this cold, winter Ike day on the prairie.
Tomorrow it is to warm up a bit and not be quite so windy. At least the sun is to shine most of the day tomorrow. The moon is beautiful tonight – tomorrow is a full moon. Thinking part of my pain today is due to the full moon as well as the wind.
I’m grateful I didn’t have to step foot outside today. I have alternated between being too hot and too cold all day long. Can’t seem to find a comfortable temperature and maintain that today.
Glad this day is almost over. Not one of my better days but know tomorrow will be better.
Jim continues to take good care of me. He is so patient and understanding with me even when I am having a bad day. He took a quiet day today too. He wrote some letters, did some reading and made some phone calls. It is good to have a quiet day once in a while.
Grateful for pain pills even though I don’t like the side effects, grateful this day is almost over and grateful the wind has calmed down a bit.
