I was surprised when I looked at my iPad to see what day of the week it was and it said Saturday. Not sure what day I thought it was but it doesn’t feel like a Saturday.
Last night at 10:00 Jim drove me to the top of a hill so we could watch the moon come up. Thursday night was the full moon but I missed it. The moon last night was almost full and beautiful! Afterwards we drove around Boomer Lake and watched the light of the moon reflect on the water. My soul needed that last night!
I got up this morning and went out and painted for a bit. I have low B/P again today – it was 97/55 when I came in from painting because I was a bit light headed. I stayed off the ladder out of an abundance of caution. After Jim got up he helped me finish up the painting of the garage. It sure looks nice. Next up is fixing the roof and adding a garage door. Getting closer to having it completed.
This afternoon Jim has been moving the wood that he has stored under the back porch to a pile in the yard. He has some workers coming Monday to level the SE corner of the house and they will need access under the porch. He has wanted to get the wood out from under the porch for a long time and is finally having to do so.
We loaded up a bunch of old, rusted cans of paint and put them in his Element so he can take them to be recycled at the hazardous waste place. Slowly but surely some projects he has wanted to do for a long time are getting done.
I pulled weeds in the new flower bed for a bit. Had to stop and come in and get dinner in the oven. We are having scalloped potatoes with ham. One of Jim’s favorite meals. I enjoy them too although I prefer not to eat white potatoes.
I got the lost meds today in the mail. I also got my stimulus check via a paper check. Two things I can now cross off my pending list. I ordered a check to be sent to the Vet to pay for the meds. I deposited my stimulus check using the on-line deposit feature with my bank. I love how easy that is to use.
It was in the mid 70’s here today. It has been a beautiful day to be outside working. There has been a light breeze and lots of bright blue skies. It got down to the low 40’s last night but warmed up nicely today. It is to get down to 38 tonight but get up to the low 60’s tomorrow. We have lots of rain in the forecast for next week.
It’s been a good day although I have been a tad light headed off and on. I would paint for a bit then come in and rest and then go back out. I stuck with it and got the job done. I even got the other paint color out and fixed my oops and covered the nail heads on the sheets that were painted and then put up. I like seeing the results of a good day’s work.
No ribbon came in today so I don’t have a project for tomorrow to work on. Maybe Jim will find me something to do outside. I do need to clean house again. I need to start making a list of the things I want to take back to KS with me in three weeks. We might go take another load one day next week. It is good to get out and see the open prairie and heavens knows we have lots of stuff to move. I can’t really tell that we moved a load out of the spare bedroom. It is pretty full of stuff.
Still haven’t felt comfortable getting out and going shopping yet. Don’t anticipate I will do so for some time yet. I just don’t trust restaurants yet – even for carry out. Not sure what it will take to get me out again. I don’t really see case counts dropping much in either Oklahoma or Kansas – in fact both continue to rise daily. I don’t think this is even near over with yet. It may be an interesting summer and fall.
Grateful the garage painting project is done, grateful the pet meds showed up, and grateful I received my stimulus check.
