Recovery day for me today. I even took a nap!
We lost power this morning for over three hours. Sure glad it happened today and not yesterday when I was trying to bake a turkey and make dinner. We had the fireplace on in the living room and stayed nice and warm until the furnace came back on when the power returned.
Tagen spent the night. He didn’t get breakfast before the power went out but found snacks to eat. Ellexia came out around 11:00. Michelle and Tim are at the Chief’s football game. The kids had macaroni and cheese for lunch.
They each got new books so we have been reading aloud this afternoon. Tagen is downstairs watching the football game. Ellexia is on her iPad. It has been a quiet afternoon on the prairie.
I am going to fix them dinner tonight and then take them into town to go to their house. I’m not sure when Michelle and Tim will get home. This way the kids can get their showers and get to bed if their parents are running late.
Ellexia and I went shopping on-line this afternoon and ordered her birthday present. She wanted some more clothes. She did a good job picking some things out. They are to arrive on December 11 which just happens to be her birthday. I had them shipped directly to her so she will get them. I won’t be home until December 17.
Tomorrow I have physical therapy in the early afternoon. I have a list of errands to run either before or after therapy. The Pella Window guy is coming back late morning to replace a seal on the window he had replaced. I hope he is done before I have to leave to go to town. If not, I will leave him here alone.
I am hoping the Pioneer Bluffs Newsletter will be done tomorrow afternoon so I can get started on it. Not sure I will be able to get the whole thing done before I leave Wednesday morning for my doctor’s appointment but hope to get a good start on it for them.
Cleaned the living room, dining room and kitchen floors this morning. Found lots of dirt. I can’t remember when I had last moved the furniture and gave the floors a good cleaning. Need to do a bit more cleaning this afternoon. I also need to strip the bed Tagen used and wash the sheets. Always something that needs done around here.
My feet have both been cranky today. I have tried to spend more time with my feet propped up today than I have been on them. The wind is still blowing and the temperature is starting to drop. I’m sure my feet would feel better if the sun would come out and the wind would calmed down. The wind has worn me down.
Grateful the grandkids are here for the day, grateful I got some cleaning done, and grateful for reading time today!
