Went to bed fairly early last night and slept for two hours. Woke up and couldn’t go back to sleep. Got up and checked the hot line. It was getting slammed with callers. Hopped on and handled seven calls in about two hours time. Two of them were the type that I will always wonder how things turn out. Some of the situations people have to deal with can break my heart. I so want to reach through the line and give them a hug and bring them home with me.
Jim and I went to town this afternoon. We needed chicken, dog and cat food from Bluestem. Then we went to Staples to mail two packages. We went to Walmart for groceries and then to the post office to mail one more package. I was exhausted by the time we got home. Glad that little adventure is done.
Worked on masks before we went to town and after we got home. I have 50 more masks completed and another 150 in the process. I am eagerly waiting to sew up the last one so I can put this little project to bed.
Jim is putting the first coat of varnish on the first desk he made. We are trying to figure out how to keep the cats off the top of the desk overnight. The cats love to lay on anything new in the garage.
It is in the upper 60’s today but very windy. At least the sun is shining and out of the wind it is nice. I went down to let the chickens out this morning and when I put the water container away in the barn saw the mower and remembered I had a little bit of mowing I needed to do. I ate a lot of cut grass while I was mowing as the wind blew it into my face. I am still rubbing bits and pieces out of my eyes and ears.
We had steak tenderloin for dinner last night. I ate half of one small piece. It tasted good but was afraid my tummy wouldn’t like it. I didn’t have any problems. My tummy handled steak better than it does dairy and cheese. I am going to fix rice, chicken and veggies for dinner tonight for me and Jim is having some leftover gravy train.
It is nice to be off antibiotics again. Sure trusting that I won’t get a third occurrence of C Diff. I am tired of that stuff and am done with it.
Got some embroidery thread while I was in town. I have two more sets of tea towels stamped and I want to get them done and out of the way. I’ll start working on them when I get the face masks done. Trying to get some projects completed so I can clean things up around here.
Nothing on the calendar for Wednesday. Tomorrow we are gong to Wichita for the afternoon. It will be good to get out on the road and take a little road trip. I have a long list of things to get at Costco. Jim is going to Stillwater on Friday and will stay until the following Wednesday. I decided to stay home again this time. I have a haircut next Monday.
Can’t believe it will be October in three days. Time seems to be going by quickly these days. I don’t do anything but somehow the days fly by. It will be time to start thinking about Christmas soon. Sure hard to know how to plan for it this year and if it will be safe to gather. Doubting that Jim’s sons will be able to come home this year. That will be hard for Jim if they don’t get to come but I guess it is what it is. Thinking about Thanksgiving too and wondering if it will be safe to have a group over. It is hard to plan beyond what is for dinner these days.
Grateful for the hot line and the help it provides to those in crisis, grateful my shopping trip is done, and grateful I didn’t have to take an antibiotic today.
