Not one of my better days today. I finally got sleep last night and when that happens I tend to be even more sleepy during the day. That certainly was true today. My blood pressure was 97/63 with a pulse of 48 when I checked it late morning. I didn’t have any energy and felt a bit light-headed so went back to bed.

I did go into Cottonwood to drop off my box of recyclables and then I stopped in at the new quilting shop. I love looking at bolts of material. I had a bit of sticker shock as I hadn’t priced material in years. Sure stirred up some memories of days long gone by looking at the material. Mom made all my clothes for years and I used to make a lot of my own clothes too. They are going to have lessons on quilting. I may get interested in learning how once this thyroid thing is settled down.

The owner of the quilt shop is going to teach others how to make a quilt she calls Starry Night. Seems like destiny that I learn how to make that one.

I was going to go get apples today but just didn’t feel like it. Maybe Kathy will go with me tomorrow and we can pick a box full.

I have lots of extra eggs right now if anyone needs some.

While I was laying down a brief thunderstorm rolled through. It was some of the loudest thunder I have ever heard. It rolled and rolled over the hills. I didn’t see any lightning and I only got a few sprinkles. Have another chance for some rain this evening. I sure could use a couple of inches to fill in the cracks in the yard.

I have some hamburger thawed I need to use up. I may wait until tomorrow to use it and make Bierrocks. It is too late today to get them started.

Kathy and I had a wonderful time at our friend’s house last night. We sat outside on her deck to watch the sunset and then stayed long enough to watch the stars come out. It was nice to sit and visit with other friends under the beauty of the Kansas sky. It was a beautiful night to sit outside.

I haven’t got anything done again today. I sure seem to be stringing lots of days together of doing nothing. Someday soon I hope to be feeling much better and have the energy to get out and move my body. It doesn’t like all this sitting.

I’m working on cleaning out my freezer. I keep finding old packages of frozen veggies and fruit that are all stuck together and freezer burned. The chickens don’t seem to mind them and when it is warm like today they enjoy a frozen treat. I need to clean out the refrigerator and find some treats for the dogs.

Quiet day on the prairie today. Feeling a bit better this afternoon. Grateful it won’t be long before this little episode is behind me. All is well on the prairie!
