It has been a laid back day on the prairie today. I didn’t get much done again today. Got the bedroom upstairs put back together and the linens from one of the rooms downstairs brought up. I have one last load of laundry to do today and those linens will be ready to go back on the bed. Tomorrow I’ll start on the other bedroom downstairs.
I worked on making more face masks again today. I have all the ones I had pinned together sewed up. I have more pieces cut that need pressed and then I can start the assembly process again. I needed to take a break from them for the rest of today.
Set out two chicken breasts to thaw this morning. Found a recipe on line that was easy and really good. You simmer the chicken for 10 minutes, then wrap each breast with two pieces of bacon. Put them in a pan and pour BBQ sauce over them and sprinkle with shredded cheese. Bake for 25 minutes at 375. Made a quick and delicious meal. We decided I needed to print that recipe so I will remember to make it again. Now to decide what to fix tomorrow night.
I took a nap this afternoon again. My shoulder was hurting again last night and I didn’t sleep well. Slept for over 1 1/2 hours this afternoon. Hope I sleep tonight.
I went to town after dinner to get gas for my mower. I was going to mow for an hour. I had not turned it all the way off when I mowed earlier this week and the mower was dead. I’ll have to have Jim help me start it tomorrow. Not in the mood to mess with it tonight. I spilled gas on my shorts while I was filling the mower’s gas tank so had to come in and take a shower. Kinda represents how my day has gone today.
I’ve been cranky all day today. The full moon was last night and it was a hard one for me. I am also adjusting to a new routine of being in the big house and haven’t found my rhythm here yet. There seems to be a lot for me to get done here but nothing seems to be what I want to be doing. Since we are going back to Stillwater next Friday it seems hard for me to get things done for some reason. Oh well, If things were urgent that I get them done I would do so. Most of what needs done can wait like painting the back deck, painting walls and the never ending job of deep cleaning each room.
We watched the wedding of Jim’s niece on Facebook live this afternoon. It was the shortest wedding I have ever seen but one full of love. I’m so grateful for Facebook live at times like that so family and friends can join in the celebration.
We worked a bit organizing stuff downstairs. The first load of Jim’s stuff was
dumped in the hallway downstairs and I didn’t want it to stay there. I moved my stuff from a big closet downstairs into the furnace room and organized it better. Jim worked on sorting his stuff in the dark room and made room for the stuff that was in the hallway. We both found some things that need taken down to the barn to be stored. Jim ended up not putting anything in the closet so it is still free for the next load of stuff we bring when we come back from Stillwater on the 19th.
My lower back is sore tonight. Not sure if I lifted something wrong or twisted it while I was downstairs today or if I slept wrong last night. Hopefully it will be better by tomorrow. I’m tired of my body yelling at me.
It was another hot day on the prairie with the temperatures in the mid 90’s again. I stayed in most of the day to avoid the heat. I think I got a bit dehydrated yesterday being out for over an hour in the heat of the day. I have been working on drinking lots extra today to help me feel a bit better. I think I am finally catching up as I do feel a bit better tonight.
Grateful the stuff out of the hallway got put away today, grateful my stuff got better organized, and grateful this day is almost over and a new day will be here soon.
