Another very hot day on the prairie today. My car said it was 103 two hours ago when I came back from Emporia. Bet it is even hotter out there now.
I did a Wal-Mart run to get some groceries and the last two items on my list of things I wanted to get to take to Japan. Decided not to eat in town as I don’t know how a restaurant can serve safe food when they are under a water boil advisory. It was almost too hot to get out of the car and go inside someplace anyways.
I was going to stop and get some Colorado peaches and forgot to do so. May go back in later and see if they are still there.
I went to bed before the sun did last night and slept really good for two whole hours. Woke up and wasn’t able to go back to sleep until it was time for the sun to come up. Slept a couple of hours which I am grateful for but am still tired today. It might be time to get some medication to help me sleep. This is getting crazy again.
I have some cleaning I need to do today if I can find the energy to do so. Kathy helped me drag hose so I can sprinkle my chicken pen as the chickens are showing signs of heat stress. We were only out for ten minutes but it wore me out.
Sure trusting Japan won’t be this hot or I won’t be doing much walking. I don’t do well in this type of heat.
My propane company mailed me my pre-order contract for the propane I will need this winter. Hard to think about paying for propane to heat up the house today. Wonder how the weather will be this coming winter. The last two winters have been fairly mild. Will we have three mild winters in a row?
Next week is turning into a busy week. I have at least one thing to do and several days two or more things to do on four different days of next week already. That is rare for me. It will help make the week go fast before I leave for Japan on the 1st of August.
Need to make a final check of what I want to take to Japan so I can get anything I may have forgotten. Will need to restock all of the critters feed supply so they have enough to last two weeks. Grateful Kathy will be here to care for my critters.
The final ten day countdown is on. Not sure it has hit me I am leaving for Japan in ten days. Japan seems so exotic and foreign to me. Trusting we will make some wonderful memories.
All is well on the hot prairie today!
