I seem to be stringing together days where I get nothing much done. I have a puzzle going but other than making a batch of fudge and taking care of the animals I can’t say I have accomplished anything today. My body seems to want to rest and be quiet so that is what I am doing.
I didn’t see any meteors last night. The clouds were restless and moving through the sky most of the night. The almost full moon was bright when it wasn’t under the cover of the clouds. I will check again tonight and see if there are any if the clouds clear out.
Jason called me this morning to let me know his step-mother passed away. He was with his biological father when it happened. I’m glad Jason was there but I sure hate for him to have to experience this. Hard time of the year to lose someone. She was a kind and funny lady and will be missed by many. Rest In Peace Rita!
It hurts my heart to know one of my kids is hurting. After I talked to Jason I had a good, messy cry. Had one yesterday too. Must be the full moon and Solstice working their magic on me. While I was in the midst of my cry my Match guy called. He got to see another side of me. He was very kind and handled me well. Sometimes a girl just has to cry to get rid of the emotion trapped inside.
I had a headache most of the day after my cry – one of several reasons I don’t like to cry. It is finally going away. I am tired now and sure hoping I will get a good night’s sleep. I didn’t sleep very well last night.
Got a booking for two people who are coming New Year’s Eve. Wonder if they are going to stay here to welcome the New Year’s or if they have a party near by to go to. They come in the day the other two leave. I haven’t had a guest for a bit so it will be interesting to have guests again.
The two packages I had mailed arrived to their destination today – only one day later than promised. As busy as the Post Office is this time of year I’ll take that.
Have the ingredients to make another batch of chocolate dipped peanut butter balls but haven’t found the motivation to do so yet. I did make one batch of fudge today that looks like it turned out OK. Still need to make at least two more batches of fudge before next Saturday. It is one of the kids favorite Christmas treats and I like to send extra home with them. I always make some for my two younger brothers too.
Need to get my Christmas presents for the grandkids ordered. We are having Christmas a week from today. I can always run to KC next week if I don’t find what I want on-line. I don’t like to go into stores when they aren’t busy – let alone during this time of year. It felt like I had lots of time to get them ordered but all of a sudden I am only a week away. Time to get moving!
Sitting in my peaceful valley today. It had a few rocks and boulders to navigate around today but came through and found my peaceful place again. I feel my soul being slowly recharged. It had gotten fairly empty with all my travels lately. I always forget how much I need alone time to get fully recharged.
Grateful for the peace and quiet on the prairie and in my house, grateful and proud of my son for being present for his father, and grateful for being able to release my emotions and allowing them to be what they are.
