A quiet day on the prairie today.  I slept a lot last night without taking a sleeping aid.  I think all the drama over the last week caught up with me and I crashed.  I sure would like to sleep like that every night.

I made chocolate chip cookies and took the dough to my grandkids.  Tagen had his wisdom teeth out Thursday and can only eat soft foods.  I thought he might be able to eat a chocolate chip cookie right out of the oven when it is nice and soft.  Since I was in town, I stopped and got some groceries.

I worked some more on changing passwords today.  I think I am almost to the end of it but am sure I will continue to find others.  I tried turning off the iCloud password manager and use the new one but didn’t have much luck.  I figured out today that I have to put the website address for each password in the password manager.  Some are in there and am not sure how they got there.  Sometimes technology and I are not good friends.

I signed up for Netflix as we both have a few movies we want to see.  Jim enjoys movies more than I but sometimes I get in the mood to watch some.  I happened to remember we have a small TV downstairs that we don’t use and had Jim bring it up.  I was pleased that I was able to get it up and running via the internet connection.  I watched one movie and Jim is watching one now.  I will enjoy watching movies while I knit this winter.  The TV is just the right size to fit on my end table by my chair.  If something special is going on we can watch TV in the living room now.  Not sure why I didn’t think of this before.

The prairie got some rain today.  Last I checked the rain gauge we are still under 1/2 inch but any rain is welcome.  Wished it would rain all night.

It was so nice to have a quiet day at home.  We both needed it.  It finally feels that all of me has gotten home.  It took a bit for that to happen.

We don’t have anything on the calendar until Tuesday when some college friends of Jim are stopping by for lunch.  It will be so nice to have a couple of quiet days at home.  Nothing that I have to do except continue to work on passwords as I think of others that need changed.  I want to get back to my Doulagiver material and finish up the last few parts of the classes.

I got back on my food plan today.  My body feels better tonight.  It is amazing how much better I feel when I stay on plan and don’t cheat.  Remembering that though is not always easy.  I have little self-control sometimes, especially when there are chips, Cheetos or something like that around.  I ate some sugar accidentally a couple times on the trip.  It has caused my cravings to kick in and I will have to detox for a bit to get over them.

Grateful for the rain that fell on the prairie today, grateful for finally getting all of me home, and grateful to be back to our quiet rhythm of life on the prairie.
