It has been a quiet day on the prairie. Another day where I didn’t do anything. I did mange to get two loads of laundry washed, dried and put away. Kathy fixed dinner so I didn’t have to do that. I must say it is a treat to have someone cook every other day. I think I can get used to that quickly. It will be my turn to cook tomorrow night so will have to think of something to fix.
It has been another cloudy, cold day on the prairie. We only reached the low to mid 40’s today. I am looking forward to the sun coming back from vacation. It has been gone a long time. I’m starting to feel the effects of no sunshine. I couldn’t live in places that go months without the sun shining.
No plans for tomorrow. I thought about going in to Cottonwood Falls today to go to the craft fair but I am still struggling being around people. I can handle a few at a time but a busy, loud building with lots of people felt overwhelming to me and I didn’t go in. I have finally gotten my central nervous system calmed down and I don’t want to set it off unless something really important comes up and I need to be around lots of people. The craft fair didn’t meet that standard.
The chicks are all still alive and growing. The littlest ones now have noticeable wings. Some of them are still on the small side though but a few of them are about as big as the 10 older chicks. I have to fill up their feed container three times a day. I dump wood shavings out of their water containers almost hourly.
I’m sorry that daylight savings time starts tonight. I don’t like the change in time. I’m grateful most of the clocks in the house will reset themselves. I only have a couple that I manually have to change. Maybe I can sleep in a bit later tomorrow morning since it will be dark later. I woke up at 6:15 this morning and couldn’t go back to sleep. Makes a long day when I get up that early.
We didn’t get much moisture today. We had a very light rain fall a couple times but I don’t think we got a measurable amount. We need rain badly. Wish all these clouds would bring some to the prairie. No use having clouds if they don’t produce rain.
I have gotten back on my eating plan. Kathy eats the same plan so that makes it easier for me to stick to plan. I am on day 3 of clean eating. I can feel my body detoxing from the foods I had been eating that are not on my plan. It will take me another week or so to get the icky stuff out of my body and then I will feel good again. I really do feel better when I stay on plan. Never quite sure why I get off track but it seems to happen before I realize it. Here is to trusting that I can stay on track this time.
I feel more settled and grounded right now than I have for the last year. It is good to discover who I am again and like what I am finding. I can’t believe I allowed myself to get so pulled off my center. Grateful I am finding my way back home to myself. I still can get pulled off track quicker than I would like but am starting to notice and appreciate the progress I have been making.
Grateful for the healing that is happening within, grateful to be able to eat someone else’s cooking, and grateful to be back on my eating plan.
