A much better day today. I am feeling almost normal today – at last! So very grateful for healing of my body.

Jim helped me give the girls fresh linens today. The monthly summer clean out of the coop is fairly easy as the straw is still dry and light. I love to watch the girls get busy and rearrange the straw when we are done. Hoping clean straw will help cut down the number of flies that are inside the coop.

The kids are going to come for dinner tomorrow night instead of tonight. Jason and his family will be able to come then so it worked out good for all. This morning I thought we were going to have hamburgers for dinner tonight and now we aren’t so guess we will have leftovers. No worries – I have several to choose from.

I took a nap today again. I can tell my body is working hard to recover and it needs extra rest right now. I slept fairly good last night but was up at 6:30 and couldn’t go back to sleep.

I haven’t done much today. The house needs some cleaning done to it if the mood strikes but so far it hasn’t. If I keep feeling good I may be able to get some painting done in the mornings next week. That would be nice!

I need to get back on my eating plan. I can tell I have been eating way too much food that has flour in it. It causes me to be hungry all the time and all my body thinks it wants to eat is more food that has flour in it. Now that my tummy has settled down I can get back on my regular eating plan and get back off flour. I will have to detox for a couple of days while my body withdraws from the flour cravings.

It was another beautiful day on the prairie with the temperature in the mid 80’s. It felt warmer than that to me though. I’m grateful for the sunshine and more seasonal temperatures. Hoping the upper 90’s aren’t seen for a bit longer.

I finally figured out why I don’t like fireworks. Someone posted something on Facebook that called them warfare and that rang a bell deep inside me. I am so against war and fireworks represent warfare. Not sure why I hadn’t made that connection before. I’m a bit slow at times. Makes me wonder why I don’t like Christmas and what connection I am missing with that.

Grateful for the healing my body is doing, grateful it worked out for the kids to come tomorrow night, and grateful the girls have fresh linens.
