It has been a quiet day at home. I did manage to make a crock pot meal today. I have not been eating good food lately and it is time to change that. I fixed green chicken and had some potatoes and broccoli with it. I forgot how good home cooked food tastes.
Did a bit of paperwork today. I think I am caught up on all of it. Got the insurance check that will pay for the repair of Kathy’s car. Not sure when I will get around to getting it scheduled.
Still struggling to get my blood pressure down. It has been around 160/85 most of the day. Not as high as it was in the doctor’s office but still too high. I will have to call my doctor Monday and see what he recommends.
Kathy and I were commenting today about how long December seems to be lasting. We were done with Christmas on the 13th and that feels like it was weeks ago and we still have 11 days of December left.
Winter Solstice is tomorrow. It is the best part of this holiday for me. It reminds me that light is always there even when it feels far, far away. Solstice invites us to slow down, rest, and trust that the light is returning. I have become a seeker of light and attempt to be a light to others. Sometimes our walk is made easier when there is a light on the path.
No plans for tomorrow except possibly watching the Chiefs game at noon. I worked a bit on the back room today and will continue to do more tomorrow. I need to go get some small containers. I may see if Dollar General has them so I don’t have to go to Emporia. Have a feeling the stores in Emporia will be crowded with lots of last minute stressed out shoppers.
Grateful for a quiet day at home, grateful for a home cooked meal, and grateful for the return of the light.
