17 eggs this morning from the girls. A new record. I haven’t been back down this afternoon to see if they added to it. The eggs are starting to over take my refrigerator. I need to clean it out and make more room for eggs.
I took another long afternoon nap today. Seems I sleep my best between 2:00 and 4:00 in the afternoon. While I was sleeping Jim took a long walk. It is in the mid 40’s today and a good day to go for a long walk. He walks – I sleep. What a pair we make.
I had gotten about three inches done on the hat I am making and realized it is too big so had to rip it out. I haven’t started it over yet. I hate when I do that. I knew better.
Haven’t accomplished anything again today. I seem to be on a roll of do-nothing days. Good thing there is nothing that has to be done. I’m lucky to get dinner on the table at night these days. Tonight I am warming up some ham and will need to think of something to add to it. Tomorrow I am making pot roast.
We are going to Emporia tomorrow to get chicken feed, oats, sunflower seeds, and dog food. We will stop at the grocery store although my list is rather short. I need bananas.
There is a beautiful sunset tonight – it is the plain Jane type but the kind I like the best. Not a cloud in the sky and it will send a color band around the entire horizon. The stars were incredible last night before the fog moved in. The moon reflecting on the snow was beautiful too.
Jim just came up with 2 more eggs for the day – 19 total. Wow! Better get to cleaning out the refrigerator quick.
The long, dark days of winter are upon me. I am spending more time going internal instead of joining the world. The pandemic has helped make this possible this year. I really wonder how long it will take me to readjust to jointing the outside world when this is all over. I do my best when I spend lots of time alone.
I haven’t lost much weight lately. I have hit a plateau and seem to be staying there a long time. My pants are starting to get baggy though so I am losing inches, just not pounds right now. The scale doesn’t really mean much to me any more but it is a measure that I continue to use. It will be interesting to see where I bottom out at this time. Maybe I have hit my new bottom and this is where I will stay. That is OK if that happens. We will see what my body wants to do. I rarely get hungry these days so am eating enough to not let that happen. I feel like I am at a healthy weight now and like where I am at.
Grateful for 19 eggs today, grateful for these long, dark winter days and long afternoon naps, and grateful for the beauty that surrounds me today.
