Went to Emporia a little after noon. I met Jason, Melissa, Michelle and Tagen for lunch at Bruff’s. I was craving some time with my kiddos and sent them a text to invite them to join me for lunch and to my surprise they were all available. We had a delightful time visiting for an hour or so. That satisfied an itch I had to see my kids.
Stopped at Walmart afterwards to pick up my grocery order. They were out of Corn Chex, Rice Chex, cottage cheese and butter. Sometimes I scratch my head wondering how they run out of things like this.
I went to Good’s and they had all four items Walmart had been out of, so got those and came home. Traffic was heavy in town and on the highway. I think I get to stay home now for the next couple of days.
It took me a bit to get everything unloaded and put away. I got a bigger grocery order than I normally get today as I want to make a batch of Chex Mix again and got some things to make two kinds of soup for Christmas Day. The kids might come out to watch the football game and eat soup with me Christmas Day.
I am doing laundry today and need to go down and take care of the chickens when I get done blogging. It is lightly misting but it is 56 out so doesn’t feel too cold. By Christmas the high is only going to be 38 so a cold front will be moving in. The high is to be in the mid 30’s all week next week. Yuck! I kinda like the mid 50’s better.
We have a 70% chance of precipitation on Christmas Day and it may come as ice or snow or rain. Crossing my fingers for all the travelers that day that we get rain and nothing freezing.
When I get the chickens done I want to get one more room detailed clean today. Not sure which one I will do next as I have many to choose from. If I keep working at it and clean a room everyday or so, before I know it, the whole house will be clean. I look forward to that.
I tried to reset my Sirius radio in my car today but didn’t have any luck. I’ll have to try again another day. Hopefully I can get it reset without having to call them. Not sure why it didn’t reset today. I was in town so maybe I need to be home with better internet. I managed to fix my Sonos system’s connection to Sirius earlier this week with no issue.
Typed up some of the pages I need to have done for the Last Wishes Workshop I am hosting January 13. I still have a couple more pages to write up and copy. It will be good to have those done and ready. I need to sent out an email invitation to invite those that are not on Facebook. I forget not all the world does Facebook. The problem with Facebook is you don’t always see everyone’s posts. They seem to select what you get to see and unless you go looking it is easy to miss someone’s posts.
After seeing the kids today, the knot in my stomach quieted down a bit. It is still there but has moved to the background of my consciousness. Sure trusting that after the 29th, it will disappear completely. I’ve felt a bit disconnected from others the last couple of days. I know it is body memories of last year when I felt so very alone and sad. And this too shall pass…..
Grateful the kiddos could join me for lunch today, grateful to find the out of stock items at another store, and grateful it is almost a New Year.
