Finally got more sleep last night. I was way overdue for a good night’s sleep. As is normal for me, when I get more sleep I am more tired the next day. Grateful some good sleep found me.
I tested negative again this morning so feel comfortable that round three of Covid is done. Feeling almost back to normal today. Still have a bit of a lingering cough but it isn’t bad. I am coughing stuff up and sometimes that takes effort, My rib cage is sore from that. I hate when stuff gets stuck and won’t come up. Several times I have felt like I am drowning in snot.
It is a beautiful but windy day on the prairie today. It is in the mid 70’s today – in February! This weather is a bit crazy. The spring flowers will be budding out soon, Hope they don’t get froze off when the cold weather appears again.
Jason is picking up a grocery order for me. I gave Walmart his phone number but they didn’t text him to let them know the order was ready. I got an email notification. When Jason picked up the order, they had it under his name and my phone number. Dang, why are things so hard sometimes. Grateful they got it fixed and Jason was able to pick some things up.
Went through my Covid tests and had to throw a bunch away as they were way over the expiration date. We looked them up to make sure they were way over. I have one more test left. I’ll have to get some more when I go to town this week. Kathy is still testing positive and will need a couple more tests this week. I used to be able to get them for free but I don’t think that is available any more. I have gotten my limit from the free ones that come in the mail.
Went through the drawer that I store my pan lids in. Found five lids that I don’t need and will get rid of. Not sure how that happened and where some of them might have come from. Slowly but surely I am starting on the great downsizing project. I will not have room for anything extra so anything I rarely use will go out one way or other. I will either donate, sell or give it away. Come see me if you want to go shopping!
I went through my skillet pile and found a couple of skillets to get rid of. There have been days when I used two or more skillets at a time but it doesn’t happen often enough to keep extras. Out the extras will go.
I think I am going to reduce the amount of plates and silverware I have to what I think I will need. I will hold on to the extras and see how we make out and if we can get by with less. There are three in the house right now and when we move there will only be two. If I can get by with three people, I know I will have plenty for only two.
It will be a quiet week this week. My exercise got taken off my plate so that freed up some time for me. I will go to town twice on Wednesday to do taxes but other than that have nothing on my calendar this week. I will have to run a few errands Monday but they won’t take long.
My egg supply is overwhelming me right now. Kathy didn’t work last week and she is my egg distributor. If anyone needs eggs, let me know. Sure wish I knew of some place I could donate some to. I hate to see them go to waste.
When I do chicken chores today I will stop at the barn and gather up two more big trash bags of trash. I am taking two big bags down every week when I set my trash at the curb. I am having no problem finding enough to fill two bags a week at this point. Still lots to get rid of down there.
Hard to believe it will be March next week. February went by very quickly for me. I hope March goes just as fast. The move will be here before I know it at this rate. Still feels a long ways off but I know that is an illusion of time. I will keep doing something everyday to get ready for it and hoping by the time it gets here, it will go smoothly and easily and I will be ready.
Grateful my groceries are restocked thanks to Jason, grateful for a second negative test, and grateful for lots of empty space this week.
