Lazy day for me today. I took a three hour nap this afternoon! Didn’t mean to sleep that long but had nothing else to do. We were going to take a four mile walk this afternoon but that didn’t happen. Jim was on the phone with his son and I decided to lay down for a bit while he was talking. Three hours later I got up!
I finished sewing the face masks I have ribbon for. Still have another 40 cut out and waiting for more ribbon to arrive. I have made 100 so far. Have 55 waiting for a home. If you need one let me know and I will mail you one.
The sewing machine got cranky today. Haven’t figured out what is wrong with it yet. Luckily I had finished the ones with ribbon and was sewing the long seam in the last few I had cut out and am waiting on ribbon for. Tomorrow morning I will try to fix the machine. I put the new bobbin case in it as well as the new pressure foot which arrived today. It was working better than it had been since I started using it. Now it won’t sew much at all. Maybe it just needed a break and tomorrow it will behave itself.
Fixed tacos for dinner. I had laid out some hamburger this morning but hadn’t decided what to do with it. Since I woke up at 7:00 I needed something to fix for dinner that was quick and easy. Tacos only take 10 minutes so tacos it was. I had a big taco salad.
We took a one-mile walk after dinner. It ws getting pretty dark by the time we walked but the weather was perfect. Got to see the sliver of the moon while we walked. There was a light breeze so it was a wonderful, relaxing walk.
Tomorrow morning I want to complete my next Crisis Hot Line assignment. I will witness an actual call that is 45 minutes long. I can’t remember if I have to take a test afterwards or not. Once I finish that the next thing is to actually do a practice full call and then take two more tests on policies and I will be done with my training. Hoping to finish Tuesday so I can sign up for my first shift later this week. Once I take a shift or two I will feel more comfortable with it all. I will get on the schedule and see what shifts are available. I can only do up to three two hour shifts a week so that won’t take much time.
I haven’t written a letter for several days so need to do that tomorrow morning too. I like to do them on Jim’s computer as I can’t print easily from my iPad. Jim likes to sleep in so I have several hours each morning where I can use his computer before he gets up. Maybe the urge will strike me tomorrow and I can get several letters written and mailed. I have to go mail a package tomorrow and could take some letters to be mailed with me then.
A week from tomorrow we have to drive to Topeka to go to the Endocrinologist. My appointment is at 10:30 so we will have to leave at 6:00 to get there on time. Looking forward to stopping at my house on the hill on the way home to pick up a few things.
Today was another easy day. Hard to be a hard day when you sleep all afternoon I guess! This peaceful valley of life is a nice place to play and live life in.
Grateful for long afternoon naps, grateful tacos make an easy dinner, and grateful for late evening walks under the light of the moon.
