We took a wonderful walk last night after dinner. We walked down to the Administration Building and then back up the hill. I was able to walk all the way without sucking air. We saw two mule deer on the way down.

I got up this morning around 7:30 and decided to go get my laundry done before it got crowded. I was the only one doing laundry so it was a good time to go. I switched out our bath linens for fresh ones while I was there.

I knitted a dish rag while I was waiting for the laundry to wash and dry. Made a total of four dish rags today. I hadn’t knitted for a bit and it felt good to have needles in my hands again.

This afternoon I went down and visited with Sandy while Jim and his brother Tom went for a long walk around the grounds. It was nice to have another woman to talk to for a bit. I have missed face to face visiting with my female friends.

Fixed leftovers for dinner tonight. Still have some more in the refrigerator but got rid of one container. Not sure what I will make tomorrow night.

Laid down on the couch after dinner to stretch out for a bit and fell asleep. I slept for two hours. Sure hoping I will be able to sleep tonight now. I didn’t mean to fall asleep.

Woke up in time to see the last of the sunset. The sky was filled with lots of reddish clouds above the mountains tonight. It was beautiful. I sat out on the deck and watched the clouds for about an hour and then came in to write my blog. Jim had laid a fire and had me light it. It got started with one match. I love having a fire pop and crack in the evenings. The warmth of the light and heat of the fire is inviting.

No plans for tomorrow although I do want to go to town sometime and get some sweat pants. I can’t believe I forgot sweat pants. It had been so hot in KS I forgot that the mountains get cool at night and didn’t think to grab some to bring.

I feel like I have taken a lazy pill. I have no motivation to do anything and am fully getting into this relaxing thing. Sure trust when I get home I can find my motivation again. Good thing there is nothing I have to do here or it might not be getting done. Living is easy and simple here.

Grateful for the beautiful sunset I saw tonight, grateful for the time I spent with Sandy today, and grateful for naps and leftovers.
