I didn’t accomplish anything today other than taking a nap this afternoon. It was another lazy day around here. Jim got some work done on the closet in the spare bedroom. He needs to do some more work to it before I can finish painting it. He painted the walls and I will paint the woodwork trim when he has it ready.
I did do some knitting this morning. I tied on the last of four skeins on the blanket I am making. Trying my best to get all my yarn used up. I need to finish a stack of blankets by tying in the ends and get them to the church as a donation. Not sure how many I made this winter but need to get them moved out of the house. I’m not sure the church is taking donations right now though.
We did take a walk after dinner. We didn’t get one last night so needed to get out and walk tonight. It does feel good to get out and move my body. Not sure why I resist doing so.
I fixed hamburgers on the grill tonight along with a green salad and tator tots. Easy meal and quick to clean up. Not sure what we are going to have tomorrow. I’m trying to get the freezer cleaned out. Only two more weeks before I go back to the prairie.
Got the sewing mess cleaned up yesterday. It is nice to have some empty space in the window box by the dining room table. I missed working on them today though. They gave me something to do each day. Still not going to order any more material though. It was an expensive time waster.
I am ready for the sun to come back from the long vacation it has been on. I have missed it! These rainy, cooler days are depressing after a bit. I will be complaining about the heat though when the sun comes back and will be wishing for some rain after a few days. Guess I am hard to please.
Feeling a bit like I am in the muck pond tonight. Tears are just behind the surface and I’m not sure why they are even there. I think I have picked up on the universal energy and am carrying stuff that isn’t mine. I need to take some time and be intentional about releasing it.
I just don’t understand the debate about wearing face masks. To me they represent a physical sign that I care about your safety. I’m doing all I know how to do to keep myself safe and not become a carrier without knowing it. Wearing a mask seems like an extra level of precaution in case I have picked it up without knowing it. Why would someone choose not to do that? I just don’t understand.
I had hopes that this pandemic would be a unifying event in the world. I see evidence of people pulling together and unifying at times but as a whole I don’t think people’s opinions about the bigger picture have changed. The great divide is still there. That makes me very sad.
Grateful for afternoon naps on cloudy days, grateful for hamburger and all the different ways to fix it, and grateful for the glimmers of hope and love I see at times in the world.
