Not sure what I did today other than take a two hour nap. I am knitting on a baby blanket and spent time doing that today. Fixed rice and chicken for dinner. Did a bit of house cleaning this morning. Where does the time go somedays?
No plans for tomorrow either. We are having a very quiet weekend at home. We haven’t had the TV on today. It is nice to take a bit of a media break sometimes. Jim has been following the wildfire near Estes Park. He knows those mountains and knows exactly what they are saying when they say where the fire is. So far, his beloved Y Camp of the Rockies is still intact although the fire got rather close today and the fire is still a threat. They are to get snow tonight which will help provide some moisture.
The chickens went outside for a few minutes at a time today. I went down this morning and gave them fresh water and opened their door. They wouldn’t stay out long but would run in and out all day today.
I had to take a Imodium today to slow things down a bit. I had gone three times before 9:00 this morning and was getting a bit dehydrated. The pill worked and I haven’t gone any more today. The PA had told me I could take one a day. I have had mild cramping this evening since I had dinner. I am so tired of this stuff. I want it to be gone and done with. It is providing me many lessons on patience – somedays I do better than others in respecting the lesson.
I convinced Jim to throw away a 20 year old pair of jeans today. They had ripped out in the butt and were beyond repair. He had mended them several times before. I ordered him two new pairs – we will see if he likes them. He doesn’t like to part with things even when they have long since served their purpose.
It reached 40 this afternoon. The wind wasn’t as strong today so it didn’t feel so cold to me today. We are forecast to get our first wintery mix Monday and Tuesday but then it is to warm back up to the 60’s by the weekend. Gotta love KS weather.
Down to single digits before election day. Jim and I will be devastated if Trump is re-elected and if the Democrats don’t gain control of the Senate. I trust Americans have had enough of the Trump family and are ready for change.
Grateful for long afternoon naps, grateful for Imodium that slows things down for me, and grateful for quiet days on the prairie.
