Another quiet day on the prairie. I did go to town to pick up some prescriptions for Jim and for myself. I dropped off a pan of Rice Krispie Treats at both Jason and Michelle’s house. I saw Jason and Ellexia for a hot minute.
Other than that I ‘m not sure what I have done today. I haven’t knitted yet today. I finished the 7th repeat yesterday and am getting ready to start the 8th repeat. I will get the blanket done and in the mail on Monday. The birthday girl celebrated today so it will be late. Better late than never – right?
The girls gave me 18 eggs this morning. I had three of them for breakfast. One was a double yolk egg – I have a girl that lays a double yolk egg most days. The girls have enjoyed being outside today and especially enjoyed the brief times the sun broke through the clouds. Oh wait -that was me that enjoyed seeing the sun!
For some reason today has felt like Friday to me instead of Saturday, It is so hard to know what day of the week it is when you do the same thing everyday. January is almost 1/3 done. Spring is getting closer everyday. I can’t wait! We are having a very mild winter this year. We sure could use some moisture.
Monday I deliver eggs to Cottonwood Falls. They are $3 a dozen or 2 dozen for $5. Let me know if you want me to drop some off for you.
I’m sitting here yawning so may need to take a short nap before I fix dinner. I did manage to go the whole day yesterday without a nap. Most days I take at least a short nap. It has become a habit now and my body reminds me to rest during the day.
Not sure what I am fixing for dinner. I have some hamburger thawing so will have to use it up somehow. We had hamburgers last night so don’t think I can get away with that again tonight.
Just woke up from a nap and then fixing and eating dinner. I couldn’t keep my eyes open earlier. I may stay up late tonight since I took a nap so late. More knitting time!
Still trying to make sense of this week and all that happened on a national level. I’m scared that we will see something worse over the next two weeks. There has to be a better way to find common ground than attacking buildings and people. I struggle to understand how this gap between the two sides became so big. I certainly am not smart enough to offer solutions on a local level, let alone on the national level. I keep examining my heart and attempting to see the ways I add to the division and work on fixing that. As much as I struggle to find those areas, I guess helps explain how hard it is to find solutions on the national level.
Grateful for lots of eggs in the refrigerator, grateful we are moving closer to Spring each day, and grateful for my healing prairie home.
