Another quiet day at home. I did go to Emporia this morning and got some groceries and some things I need for our trip to CO. I have started a pile of things to take to CO. It will be a huge pile before we leave.
No bathroom emergency runs today but the cramping continues. Sure will be glad when Thursday gets here and I can get some answers as to why the cramping is so bad. Not sure the doctor will have an immediate fix for me but to know that something can and will be done to help will be reassuring.
Parts of the prairie have received some nice rain today but so far it has gone around us. It sure feels like it could rain but not sure we will get any. It would be nice to let Mother Nature water our new seeded area of grass but am betting we will have to use the sprinkler tonight.
I am going to deliver 12 dozen eggs tomorrow. That will cut my stash way back. I am going to take at least 6 dozen with me to CO. I notified my regular customers that I was going to be gone and several wanted me to bring them some extras to get them through until we return. I will have to ask my house sitter to deliver 6 dozen a week to one of my customers. I didn’t have enough to give her enough to get her through while we are gone.
I was hoping to clear up most of the things on my pending list before we left but not looking like that will happen. I’m still waiting for several workers to show up and do some work for us. Thinking they will all want to come while we are gone. Part of the work can be done while we are gone but I don’t think I can ask the house sitter to have to deal with the replacement of the shower in the master bathroom.
I’m concerned I will ruin our trip to CO by having another major C-Diff episode. I am hoping the doctor I am seeing Thursday can help come up with a preventive plan so I can get through those three weeks without an issue. My body doesn’t seem to be responding to the antibiotic as well this time so not sure if that will be possible. Guess I will deal with what ever happens when it happens. Worry won’t make it go away.
Tagen wants chocolate chip cookies before we leave so will get those baked either tonight or tomorrow and take them to him. Ellexia hasn’t responded to my text so I don’t know what she might want. I have the stuff to make some peanut butter balls for them if I find the energy to get those made.
The house cleaning project is slowly happening. I sure wish I had a bit more energy and get up and go right now. I have very small bursts of energy that I can get a few things done but I wear out quickly.
Other than the egg delivery tomorrow I don’t have anything on my calendar until I go to the doctor in Topeka on Thursday. Grateful for the empty space to have lots of rest time to heal in. I took a nap again today – it seems to have become a daily habit again.
Read today that most of the major hospitals in KS are full again of COVID patients. One said they were going to have to reduce the amount of non emergency surgeries they will be doing due to staffing issues caused by all the COVID patients. I find this all so sad as the majority of people getting sick don’t have to get sick if they would have gotten a vaccine. Not sure what it is going to take to end this pandemic with so many refusing vaccines.
I have gone back to wearing a mask when I am out and about. Not many people are doing so. I have a feeling with the way I have been feeling lately that if I got COVID even with the vaccine I would get into trouble with it quickly. I just don’t seem to have much resistance these days.
Grateful to be reducing my egg stash tomorrow, grateful for my vaccine, and grateful Thursday will be here soon.
