I was surprised to hear it rain last night. I had checked the forecast in the morning and nothing was predicted and hadn’t checked it again. There was a light coating of ice on the ground this morning and it was foggy most of the morning. The clouds have rolled on out and the sun has burned off all the ice this afternoon. It was fairly nice out when I went out to do chores.
Got 11 eggs from my girls today. They are earning their keep again. It sure is more fun to gather eggs when I get a full bucket.
It has been another lazy day for me. I have been working on the puzzle I am putting together and not getting much else done. Good thing I don’t have much on my to-do list. I am getting out of the house this evening to go to Ad Astra for dinner with some friends. I haven’t been out of the house for several days so it will do me good to get out and be around people. I think I have recovered enough that I can be around people again. Sometimes I have to put myself into time out for the safety of those around me.
I slept like a rock last night. I must have gotten at least six hours of sleep without waking up. Wow! So that is what most people do at night. I felt well rested this morning when I got up. I am tired this afternoon but I normally am when I get extra sleep. My body seems to say give me even more sleep – I must be greedy!
Ordered the grandkids Christmas presents last night. They are to arrive by Friday this week. I will only have one day of grace as I need them by Saturday afternoon. I cut that one too close! May need to make a quick trip to town Saturday morning if they don’t show up on time.
Still haven’t gotten any Christmas cards fixed and in the mail. I keep forgetting to work on them. No big deal I guess if I don’t get them out.
Need to go to Emporia tomorrow to get some groceries. I was going to go today and decided the stores may be less crowded tomorrow morning. Don’t need too many things so I should be able to get in and out quickly. Need the tires on my car rotated sometime soon – they are overdue. Maybe I can get both accomplished tomorrow.
It has been a challenge to get back on my eating schedule since my two vacations. I have eaten the same thing at home for several months and all of a sudden it is getting hard to eat. Need to give some thought as to how to change it up a bit. Sure is easier to fix meals when I know ahead of time what I am going to eat. Grocery shopping was also much easier. May give it another week or so and see if I can get back into my normal routine. I got used to eating at different times each day and I ate a bigger variety of food while traveling. I haven’t gained any weight but I liked my routine from before. I’ll see how this plays out. I will be glad when the Christmas treats disappear on Saturday. I haven’t been tempted to eat them but if they are around much longer I might be.
It has been a good day today. I haven’t even cried today – I did the last two days. I watched the full moon rise last night. It wasn’t visible for very long as it rose into a cloud bank. Glad I got to see it for a few minutes before it disappeared for the night. I looked for meteors but it was cloudy again so I didn’t get to see them this time.
Grateful for lots of eggs from my girls, grateful for lazy days, and grateful for lots of sleep last night. I almost felt “normal” for a change!
