Had trouble sleeping last night. Kept having weird dreams and I would make myself wake up so I could change the dream channel. Can’t remember any of them today though.

I went to Council Grove late morning to help out a friend. Did a bit of laundry for her, walked the dogs and made up two beds. It was nice sitting and visiting with her. When her husband came back home he fixed a lunch for us and we enjoyed having a meal together.

When I left her house I went to the grocery store in Council Grove. I love walking around new to me grocery stores. I picked up a few things I didn’t know I needed and then drove home. The roads were nice and clear today and I could go the speed limit.

Am doing some laundry at home today. I’m waiting for the last load to dry and then I will need to get both loads folded and put away. That will probably be all that I get done today.

Kathy isn’t feeling well today. Sure hope she isn’t coming down with the crud that seems to be going around. Hoping by tomorrow she will be feeling much better. One or the other of us is going back to Council Grove Monday to spend the day so the dogs can be taken care of. If Kathy is sick I will go.

It warmed up a bit today. We have a chance to get some more moisture tonight but it looks like it may go north of us. I want what we have on the ground to melt and go away before we get more on top of it but Mother Nature doesn’t ask me permission for her to do what she does.

No plans for tomorrow except to watch the Chiefs game. I got stuff to make chicken and noodles and may do that tomorrow. We shall see if the mood hits. I haven’t been doing a good job of fixing myself good food to eat and need to change that.

I have a pile of papers on the dining room table that need some attention. It is records that I need to organize and record for my tax prep work. It will drive me crazy to have them out on the table for much longer so will need to give them some of my time and attention and get them off the table.

I wish I spoke house insurance language. I keep getting adjustments and changes to the policies and they have lost me on what they are doing. They sure like to overwhelm one with lots of paper. Not sure how to make sense out of all of it and not sure I trust them to not take the time to understand it all. I have to be in the right mood to sort all that stuff out.

Sure is a lot of chaos and distractions happening in the world right now. I keep reminding myself to stay grounded and in love and out of fear. I keep feeling like the distractions and chaos are going to keep increasing and it will be easy to be pulled into fear. I can’t change anything happening in the bigger picture of the world. But I can step up and care for those within my reach. I keep feeling the urge to increase the size of my reach somehow but not sure what that is going to look like yet. The more grounded I stay the better I will be to help others in my path.

Grateful for a day spent with a friend, grateful for washing machines and dryers, and grateful for a quiet day at home tomorrow.
