Ellexia and I were texting today and she told me she was out of cookies. I baked a big batch of chocolate chip cookies and took them in. Can’t have an empty cookie jar for my kiddos!
When I went down to let the chickens out this morning I discovered I had forgotten to close the windows to the coop last night. Good thing it was a warm evening although with the wind it didn’t feel as warm as it was. The heat lamp was on so I’m sure they were OK but I feel bad they had to deal with the wind blowing in their coop all night.
Worked on making more masks today – what else do I do? Have 300 made now and need to get them boxed up so I can get them off to David and Cassie. They know lots of non profits that can use them. Still have another 200 in the works and then I am done making masks. I need to get some things done around the house and I get distracted by mask making and don’t get to the other things that need done.
I’m warming up leftovers for dinner tonight so dinner will be easy to fix. My tummy did OK with the chicken pot pie although it caused some cramping for a bit. I had some leftovers of the pot pie for lunch and the cramping came back. My gut feels a bit swollen this afternoon. Trusting that is just a reaction to the cheese that was in the pot pie and not a sign of more C Diff. I’ll eat chicken noodle soup for dinner tonight and see what happens.
No plans for tomorrow or Monday. My quarantine ends tomorrow. I broke it a day early by taking cookies to Ellexia. I doubt that I go anywhere tomorrow or Monday. Tuesday we go to Wichita and I need to go to Costco and get a long list of things.
Jim is getting ready to put the first coat of varnish on the first desk he is making. That will be exciting to see what the desk looks like with varnish on it. He said he will sand it lightly after the first coat and then put a second coat on it. The top of the desk will require three coats. It is fun to watch a pile of boards become a desk.
The house is dusty this afternoon. The prairie is so dry the dust rolls in. I closed up the house and turned the AC on as it is over 90 on the prairie today. Thankfully it is to cool down tonight and stay cooler for the next couple days. We even have a chance of rain for tomorrow. I invite the rain to pull-up a chair and stay awhile. We could use a couple inches of gentle rain.
Trying to remember to spend some time each day thinking about those things inside that I want to release during this inward journey I am on. I have gotten away from my spiritual discipline and need to go back to it. I have been distracted lately and haven’t spent enough time focusing on myself and what I need to work on. Doing the same thing and expecting different results is the definition of insanity. It only takes a few minutes of focused attention each day for me to start to change my habits and beliefs. I have been revisiting spending that time lately which tells me something big is getting ready to be revealed and I am hiding from it. The longer I hide the bigger it becomes in my head. Time to face the music and get this done!
Grateful for AC on this last hot day of the year, grateful to see Ellexia today, and grateful for the inward journey I am on.
