Went to Clinton Lake where Nicole and Geoff had their wedding reception. What a perfect spot to have an outdoor reception. The weather turned out perfect – not too hot, not too cold. No rain for the main event. The food was great. It could not have gone any better.
I am feeling much better today. The running to the bathroom has stopped and the cramps are much less. I ate some food at the reception that I probably shouldn’t have eaten and I have had more cramping since but it was worth it.
I am still more tired than I normally am but thinking that will pass soon. I got up this morning and was up for three hours then went back to bed for another hour or so. I’m glad I got a nap in then as I would have struggled to make it through the party otherwise.
We had to stop in Topeka on the way to the reception and get a tire repaired. The low tire pressure light had come on before we left Emporia. The app on my phone that tells me how my car is doing was malfunctioning and we were 15 miles from Topeka before I could tell how low the tire really was. We went to one tire store and it was going to be a 1 1/2 hour wait before they could fix the tire. I called another and got the same wait time. We found a third place and they could fix it right away. It took them about 20 minutes to fix the tire. We had picked up a nail in the tire. If you are going to have to deal with a flat tire that is the way to do it.
No plans for tomorrow. Jim wants to finish shingling the chicken shade porch. I don’t have anything that has to be done. It will be a good rest and recovery day.
I don’t have much on the calendar for all of next week. Jim may go to Stillwater on Wednesday and stay until Saturday. I hope to be feeling back to normal and get in and get more painting done on the rental house. We will see how the week unfolds.
It was a good day – I got to see all three of my kids and my grandchildren. That is always a good day when that happens.
Grateful for Nicole and Geoff, grateful for the beautiful weather for the party, and grateful we were able to get the tire fixed without mishap.
