Another lazy day in Stillwater. Not sure what I did today – if anything! Somehow it is after 7:00 though and the day is almost over. Funny how that happens.
I only have three more masks to sew and I will be out of material to work with. Got the flannel all cut into pieces today. Still waiting on the sheets to come in before I can start the next batch. Have a little ribbon left but not much.
Spent time on the phone tracking down the dogs meds. With my son-in-laws help I think I have figured out what is wrong. My temporary change of address has expired. When the meds were shipped UPS and then transferred to USPS I still have my forwarding address on file. They got shipped to Denver and then to Dallas to go through the forwarding process. Now that the order has expired they enter the loop again.
I told the Vet today that I wished she would ship me so I could go on an adventure like the meds are on. My house sitter is going to go to the vet’s office Monday and pick up a set of meds. If and when the missing shipment shows up I will use them for their next dose.
I have to go to the post office is Stillwater Monday and see if I can sort the mail out. May just let it stay in Strong City and not mess with extending the forwarding if the post office in Stillwater will deliver the packages that I have ordered to Stillwater and not forward them. I will also call the post office in Strong City after I talked to the Stillwater office and sort things out. What a mess.
Thanks Tim for your help! This seems like a foreign language to me and you helped me understand the process and what to do next.
Jim worked on putting siding up on the garage today. He only has two more pieces of siding to put up and then he can start making the window frames and putting the side pieces up. I will have some painting to do when he gets those pieces cut. It is easier to paint them before they get put up and then touch them up afterwards.
I have had a sore throat today as well as a slight temperature. No cough or chest pressure. Thinking it is sinus related – trusting by tomorrow I will feel better. I’m not extra tired or muscle aching so thinking I am OK.
Jason called this afternoon and we had about an hour conversation. Always good to hear from my kids.
I woke up this morning and realized I am way over due for a haircut. It hits me like that and I know it is past time to get one. It will try my patience as I wait to get it cut. Jim offered to cut on it some more but not sure I am that desperate yet. Give me another week or two and I might take him up on his offer.
It got up to over 90 in Stillwater today. Way too hot for my preference. We will go for a walk in a bit but it needs to cool down just a bit before I want to go out. Jim likes the hot weather and enjoyed working up a sweat this afternoon.
Fixed brats for dinner. They were looking perfect so went into the kitchen to get a plate. When I came out some grease had caught fire and burned the brats. They were eatable but burned. Oops! Jim was generous and ate his anyways.
Felt a bit restless today. I need a project to work on! My mask project is on hold again until I get some material in. I need to go on a long drive and see some open space. Hoping we can make it up to Strong City to take a load of cameras on Tuesday. I am homesick!
Grateful for the call from Jason today, grateful I figured out why the dog meds went to Denver, CO, and grateful for Tim’s help and expertise.
