I almost forgot to blog today. I came home from happy hour and got started doing something and time got away from me.

I went to Emporia mid afternoon and picked up my grocery order. I had stopped at Bruff’s for lunch but I was there for 10 minutes and never saw a wait staff person so I left. I went to Wendy’s instead and got a chili. Not quite what I wanted but it worked.

Went through the car wash and got my car wash. It had gotten really dirty from the rain last week. Stopped at Good Savers to get some ice. I also checked to see if they have my favorite yogurt as Walmart was out of it. They didn’t so now I will have to go back to Emporia later this week to get some. Not sure why Walmart seems to be out of it every three or four weeks.

After I got home I put things away and did the chicken chores. Then Kathy and I went to a friend’s house for happy hour. It was fun talking to our friends for a bit. I love when we can get together and visit.

I spent some time today reviewing my Doula Care Consultant notes. I haven’t work on this stuff for a bit and needed to review some of it. It came back easier then I expected it to. I’m excited to be back using the material and putting it to good use.

I don’t have any plans for tomorrow. I will spend some more time on the Doula material to make sure I haven’t forgotten anything. I need to do a bit of housecleaning and take care of stuff like that. I need to give the chickens a bit more straw. They have crushed down what we put in there when we cleaned the coop a while ago. They need a couple inches of straw to help keep them warm when it gets cold again.

I have no plans for Halloween. We won’t have any trick or treaters so don’t need to prepare for that. I thought about doing the truck or treat thing in town but it will be way to peopley for me. Craig and I got married on Halloween so it is a weird day for me now.

I’m still enjoying all my empty space. It did feel good to get out this afternoon and visit with some friends. It was good for me to get out again. It feels like it has been a long time.

The moon has been incredibly beautiful the last couple of nights. It was full Saturday night and has been putting on quite a show since. I don’t need to turn a light on when I get up at night as the moon is so bright.

Kathy sent me a document via Google documents today. When I tried to open it, it said I needed permission to open it and that they would send me an email when it was granted. Hummm…. Who grants me permission? I expected that they would send Kathy an email to respond but she said she didn’t get one. She figured out a different way to send it to me so all is good. It is a head scratcher though. Still don’t understand Google.

Grateful for the beauty of the moon on the prairie tonight, grateful for being able to share time with my friends, and grateful for empty space in my life right now.
