I am feeling better today. Ran a 101 temperature for a bit last night. Luckily the effects of the vaccine are over with today and I am back up and running.
My jaw is still sore. It has been hard to fully close my mouth today to eat and chew. Not sure what is going on. If it doesn’t get better by Monday I will go in and have it looked at. The pain is less today unless I try to close my mouth.
Found a dead chicken when I went down today. Not surprised – with this cold weather I have been surprised I haven’t lost one before this. The girls gave me 16 eggs today. Guess they don’t have anything better to do than lay eggs. I bet they will be glad to get outside tomorrow if it warms up a bit.
It was -19 again this morning on the prairie. It has warmed up to 0 so far today. Tomorrow we are to get in the 20’s. Heat wave!!! I am so ready for warmer temperatures.
UPS delivered a package yesterday but I haven’t found it yet. It might be in the mailbox. I haven’t driven down to check. I checked all the doors, in the garage and in the barn. Hoping it will turn up. Luckily what is in the package isn’t weather sensitive.
Did some housecleaning this morning. The house had gotten a bit cluttered and I got things picked up and put away. Did some vacuuming and other cleaning. I always feel better when my house is straightened up.
Grateful the sun is shining this afternoon. Makes it feel warmer than it is. Sophia came in for an afternoon nap but Roxy is laying outside in the sun. They like this cold weather although they seem to be enjoying coming in the house for morning and afternoon naps.
I have a pot roast with potatoes and carrots cooking in the crock pot today. It sure makes the house smell good. Not sure I can chew it to eat some but will see what happens.
No plans for tomorrow except for watching the Chiefs game in the evening. Monday I have to go to Emporia for a meeting at 2:00 and have a list of errands to take care of while I am in town. Hoping this week the weather will be good enough for me to get some overdue things taken care of.
The next couple of weekends I have three Celebration of Life Ceremonies to attend. All were people that were younger than I am. I wish I had a magic wand and could give each of the families some peace and comfort. Grieving is hard work and is a process each has to find their own way through.
I need to make some peanut butter balls to take to Tagen as part of his birthday present. I’ll probably do that tomorrow and then take them to town Monday when I go.
Trusting with the warmer weather coming this way, I will find some motivation to get some things done. I haven’t done much lately as I have been stuck at home for the most part. Hoping the KU program will get going and get me started with the exercise program. This has been a long process to get this far and still not sure when I get to actually start the program.
I am starting to get a bit of spring fever. Enough with the snow and cold. Two more months before Spring Equinox! I am ready for it now!
Grateful the effects of the vaccine appear to have worn off, grateful for the warm up that is coming, and grateful for the sunshine today.
