Today has been another quiet day on the prairie. We did manage to give the girls some fresh linens this afternoon. It is always good when we get the coop cleaned out. The coop was dry so it was easy to remove the old stuff.
I made Ellexia some strawberry jam butter cookies. The other day she wanted me to make a pie that tasted like strawberry jelly. I never did figure out what she was asking for as I have never made a strawberry pie before. The jelly cookies were the only thing I could think of that was close. talk the cookies in to her this evening. She liked them but that wasn’t what she was talking about.
I finished the puzzle I have been working on for the last couple of days. Glad it is done as now I might get something more productive done around here. Jim is leaving for Stillwater tomorrow early afternoon so I have no more excuses to not get my house cleaned this week. I’ll be glad when that gets done too. I also have some painting outside I want to get done this week.
I took a NyQuil last night and had a drug hang over today. I had a bit of low blood pressure after I came in from helping Jim clean out the chicken coop. It got down to 85/45. I laid down for a bit and then when I got up I drank a bunch of fluid. It finally came back up a bit. Not sure if my thyroid levels are messed up or if it was a side effect of the NyQuil.
I am due to have my thyroid levels checked this week so will either go in tomorrow or Wednesday and get that done. Thursday I go to Topeka for a doctor’s appointment.
I grilled hamburgers for dinner tonight. That is still one of my favorite meals. Simple and easy and oh so good.
With Jim gone this week I won’t fix much for dinner. I might grill myself a piece of salmon and have a veggie and call it good. I have some chicken I can heat up for another dinner.
It will be another quiet week with Jim gone. It is amazing how different my life is now that he is part of it. I lived out here a lone for several years and didn’t think much about it. It feels very empty now when he isn’t here.
Grateful the girls have fresh linens today, grateful the puzzle is done, and grateful for hamburger.
