Another quiet, stay-at-home day. I was going to go get groceries but couldn’t leave the house. We have had a cold front come through with high winds. So far we have avoided the snow other than a few flakes this afternoon. Not a good day to get out and about. The insulated overalls I gave Kathy came in handy today. She said they kept her nice and warm when she was walking the dogs this morning.
I made spaghetti and meatballs for dinner tonight. Wow! I have made home made meals daily for almost a week. I do feel better when I eat good for me food instead of junk food all day.
I didn’t do much else today. I am almost finished watching West Wing and am still binge watching it. I wonder how much it is based on reality and mirrors real life. I can only dream of a time when those in office can do the right thing as opposed to being concerned about being reelected and raising money.
It is interesting to see how electronic devices have changed over the years. On West Wing the computers are still massive and most of the phones are flip phones or the phones that had an antenna poking out of them. They also are using VHS tapes. Funny how those things date a show.
I do need groceries so may attempt to go to Emporia tomorrow. I am going to KC with Ellexia Tuesday so could stop and pick things up on the way home but I know I will be tired and won’t want to stop.
It is weird having a very short pending list and a very short to-do list. Other than working on my tax prep book most everything else is in the hands of someone else. They need to make a move before I can move next. I’m grateful most things got taken care of before the New Year begins. It is nice to go into the New Year with a mostly empty list. Feels like I have a clean slate to begin the year.
My memories on Facebook reminded me that three years ago I was finishing up my divorce. I have come a long ways from the emotional state I was in then. I have learned so much about myself, about boundaries, and how important it is to speak my truth. Sometimes the best lessons in life come from the hardest times.
Grateful for home made meals, grateful we didn’t get snow today, and grateful it is to warm back up again by Tuesday.
