This has felt like a Sunday to me after the festivities yesterday. Guess I get to have two Sunday’s this weekend. Trust I can get it straight in my head and not be messed up all week.
This has been a quiet, stay-at-home day. I did manage to make a tuna and noodle casserole for lunch. Had trouble getting it warm enough in the oven. Not sure if I usually bake it at a higher temp or if my oven is starting to act out. I thought 30 minutes at 350 would sufficed but it did not. I did add a bag of frozen peas so maybe that made it take longer than I thought it should.
Watched To Kill a Mockingbird this afternoon. During times like we are in right now, I am not sure much has changed since the movie was made and represented the late 20’s and early 30’s. Racism is just as alive now as it was then. Hurts my heart.
Got a request from one of the Detainees to see if Love in Action would do something for the World Cup finals on July 19. I sent a request to the person in charge. We shall see what they say. I am not a sports fan so wouldn’t have thought about doing anything. With so many Detainees from all parts of the world, it probably is a big deal to some of them.
We got lots of rain this morning. I hadn’t seen it rain that hard for a long time. It was hard to see the house right across the street for a bit as it was raining so hard. Bet we got over two inches in the short time it rained. We have big puddles in the yard again. It was nice to have it be a bit cooler today though.
Haven’t felt the best today. I had a bit of blood in my urine this morning. I have drank a lot of liquids today and it seems to be going away. I had some lower back pain and an uncomfortable fullness in my abdomen for a bit but that seems to have gone away too. I will keep an eye out and see what needs to be done. If all is OK tomorrow, I will check to see if my doctor will do a UA Monday. It doesn’t feel like a UTI and I don’t want a kidney infection to get away from me if that is what it is. If it comes back tomorrow, I may go to urgent care and see what they say. I don’t like to take oral antibiotics due to the risk of C-Diff. I do not want another episode of that to start.
Monday I need to double check and make sure it is OK to bring cupcakes to the Detainees on Friday for the birthday party Saturday. I had talked to the Captain a couple of weeks ago but we never did firm up the plans. I don’t want to assume something that I shouldn’t.
Monday I also need to try to figure out how to get a copy of the CT scan and MRI that were done on me to the doctor I am seeing the 14th. Not sure how I do that but will call and find out. Unfortunately the two different tests came from two different facilities so I will have to figure out two different things. I am betting both have different ways of proceeding.
I also need to call or go to Walmart and find out about getting a dozen gluten free cupcakes and a dozen for diabetics. I don’t know if I need to special order those or not. I have a prescription that is ready to be picked up so I will go in to get it and ask about the cupcakes. The place where I ordered the 13 dozen cupcakes and the sheet cake couldn’t take care of the special needs cupcakes.
No plans for tomorrow. I will have to remind myself that it is Sunday and not head to town thinking it is Monday.
Next week is rather empty. I will go to town Monday and take care of a few errands. I will probably go back Wednesday and take Jason out for lunch as it is his birthday. Friday I will go in and pick up the cake and cupcakes for Saturday. Saturday is the birthday party. I trust enough people will show up that it was worth doing. Would love to meet some of the donors so I can thank them in person. It still amazes me that strangers trust me and send me money for this project.
Hope there aren’t too many booms and pops tonight. There have been a few today. Mother Nature had her own booms and pops this morning with the lightening and thunder. Tomorrow night should be the last night of them for this year.
Nice to have a quiet day at home. The cooler weather was welcomed. I was able to sleep in a bit this morning as it was cloudy out and I didn’t realize how late it was. Time is doing its weird thing again and doesn’t make sense. I would struggle if I had to go back to work and have time deadlines during the day.
Enjoying the expanse of empty space today. I get my best ideas and intuition hits when I give myself lots of empty space to allow those thoughts and hits to surface. Solutions to problems that felt unsolvable come into my awareness when I am quiet enough to hear them.
Grateful for a dry house to ride out the rain in today, grateful for home made tuna and noodle casserole today, and grateful I get a second Sunday this week since today felt like a Sunday too.
