This has been a quiet day at home. I did go to Strong City for lunch but other than that have stayed home all day.
I did four loads of laundry and cleaned the bathroom. I even managed to get the laundry folded and put away and clean sheets put back on the bed. Got a bit of housework done and have more to do when I decide to do it. But I think there is always housework that can be done.
I have been writing a weekly update for the Love in Action project but don’t have much to report this week so not sure what to write. I did get anther check in the mail for the project. A couple more things got ordered off of Amazon. I didn’t spend any money and didn’t receive any requests of things they need. I think they should have enough stamps for another couple of weeks although the lady running the program likes to stamp the cards ahead of time and we might need more stamps to accommodate that.
My annual physical is next week. I am starting to make a list of things to mention to my doctor. He usually doesn’t do much with anything I mention so not sure it is worth bringing things up. I go see the lady plumber a week from Monday and am hoping that appointment will yield better results. Modern medicine feels broken to me. Take another pill and gloss over the actual problem seems to be the rule of the day. No wonder people keep getting sicker.
No plans until Wednesday when I have my physical. I didn’t do a good job scheduling it as I have to fast and my appointment isn’t until 1:30. I will have to treat myself to lunch afterwards. Thursday I am picking up the beef and then Kathy and I are headed to KC for her appointment at the Memory Care Clinic. We will first go to Nicole’s house to drop off her portion of the beef and then we are all going to lunch and then to Kathy’s appointment.
I need something’s from Costco but not sure we will have time to stop on Thursday. I may run to Wichita and pick up what I need one day next week so I don’t have to cram a stop in to our busy day on Thursday.
Kathy and I have both been commenting about how long the days seem to be lately. Not sure what is up with that but the days seem long yet the month is flying by. I have a distorted relationship with time these days and have trouble making sense of time most of the time. It feels so artificial and somehow old fashioned. Not even sure what I mean by that but that is the word that came to me.
One of these days I am going to find some motivation to do something other than stay home. Haven’t thought of anything exciting enough to entice me out of the house lately. I have had a couple of mentally busy months and am feeling the need to reduce the stimulation to my brain and stay home to rest. I’m sure I will break out of this sooner or later but have no motivation to do now.
Grateful for quiet days at home, grateful for the privilege of being able to tune out the world for a bit, and grateful for air conditioning that keeps this house comfortable on these long, hot days of summer.
