Woke up feeling better than I have for a long time. It only lasted about 30 minutes but I will take it as a sign of progress. I got a bit of house cleaning done and had the energy to do it.
Got the last of the flannel sheets cut into pieces today. Jim helped me with some of the cutting. Now I am waiting on the sheets to arrive as well as the elastic. When those come in I can get them cut to size and start the final assembly process for the next bunch of masks. I ordered two more sheets this morning as I realized I didn’t have enough coming in for all the flannel pieces I have. I use two pieces of sheet to one piece of flannel. I am thinking I will be done when I get this last batch made up. I have at least 300 more to make up and that will put me well over making 1,000 masks.
Did a few loads of laundry today. I enjoy doing laundry and it never feels like work to do it. Jim had some that needed done so he can get packed for his trip to Stillwater tomorrow. We have had to do our laundry separately as part of the precautions they recommended we take. Hopefully I will get released from all of that tomorrow.
Made a double batch of chocolate no bake cookies to take in to the grandkids. I need Jim to pick me up some groceries this afternoon so I will have what I need in case I don’t get released from quarantine tomorrow. When he goes to town to get the groceries I’ll have him take the cookies to the grandkids.
It is another windy day on the prairie. It is in the mid 90’s and very windy. I am looking forward to the cold front that is to come in tomorrow. I am not a big fan of hot, windy days. We need rain to fill the cracks in the yard. It is in the forecast for the next several days so hoping the rain will pull up a chair and stay a while and give the prairie a good drink.
I need to put some rocks in my pockets and walk down to the chickens and give them some fresh water. I went down earlier and opened their windows and turned off the heat lamp. They get hot on days like this and I like to make sure they have lots of cool water to drink.
Working on a list of things I can do while Jim is in Stillwater. I will have to see how my energy level holds up but am cautiously optimistic that I can get some things done. Most of what I have on the list is from my wish to do list and not my have to do list. It will be nice to get some things crossed off the list.
Other than riding in the car to go to Emporia the other day I haven’t been off the property since a week ago yesterday. I don’t have any plans to go anywhere this week either. I may have forgotten how to be social with other people. I wonder how long I can go without having contact with other people.
Grateful for feeling really good this morning even though it didn’t last long, grateful the hot temperatures will be declining soon, and grateful for this quiet time on the prairie.
