A quiet day at home. We did go to the rental house to bring home a ladder so I can change some light bulbs in the garage. The handyman is finishing up the painting today. Yay!
He sent me a text with pictures letting me know the guttering is not sloped correctly and was full of standing water. I will have to call the guttering guys Monday and have them come out and fix it.
I’m glad we went in as I was able to decide on the floor paint of the front porch and give it to my handyman so he could get that done. We are oh so close to calling it a wrap.
I’ve made four quick trips to the bathroom today. Feeling a bit better though. I got really tired early afternoon so laid down but wasn’t able to go to sleep. Maybe that is a sign of progress too.
Last night Jim and I sat out on the deck and watched the light show Mother Nature was putting on to the west and north of us. The power in the thunderstorms is wonderful to watch – especially when I am not in the path of the storm. We got some rain over night but I bet not even 1/4 of an inch. Areas around us got some nice rain but it broke up and went around us.
This has been another day of not doing much. I have been reading a lot lately and am quite content to sit in my corner chair and read. One of these days my energy will return and I will do something productive but until then I will rest and read.
Since my jury duty was canceled for Monday I have a free week ahead of me. I think I will plan a trip to KC one day so I can have lunch with Nicole and do a Costco run. I need to start thinking about getting a dress for Jason’s wedding but not sure I will be in the mood to shop next week. I still have over two months so no real rush. They are having a pretty casual wedding so I don’t have to find something fancy.
I will also call and get a hair cut scheduled for one day next week. I am overdue for one.
Jim went out and is mowing the lagoon area. We let it get away from us again this year and it is hard mowing as the weeds are very tall. There are lots of little trees that are growing up in the wrong place that need cut down too. So grateful Jim is willing to do that type of work around here.
I have been hungry today for the first time in a bit. Hard to know what to eat that won’t upset my tummy. I’m fixing Jim Tuna Noodle Casserole for dinner – I don’t think my tummy would approve of it for me so I will probably have chicken noodle soup again. I’m kinda getting tired of that though.
July has been relatively cool this year. We only reached 85 today and that is the temperature forecast for most of next week. I am grateful it hasn’t been 90 and over very often.
I’m not feeling quite so discouraged today. I am grateful my body is slowly healing and progress is being made towards recovery. It has been a long and hard three weeks for me. Trusting I will start recovering quickly now and will be able to put this behind me.
Grateful the rental house painting is done, grateful for the beauty of Mother Nature, and grateful my jury duty was canceled.
