Got three loads of laundry done this morning so I can pack in the morning for my week in KC. Not sure I have anything else that has to be done before I leave so I may spend the afternoon knitting. It is too hot to do much outside today.
Nicole has named this coming week “It is time to be Done”. She wants to be done with several hard things in front of her. She knows grief is not something you are done with however. She has several projects we will be working on this week – none will be easy ones. Some how she will find the strength to get through them. I’m glad she was able to get a week off work so she can give these projects her full attention and not have to stress about work at the same time. Trusting by the end of the week she will be done with her projects and can then turn her focus to her trip to Japan.
I am so grateful to her group of friends that continue to step up and help her through this process. They are like family to her and I appreciate them helping her out so much.
Ellexia went home last night. She said if Tagen was here she would have spent the night. Not sure about that but that is her story so I’ll go with it.
Need to review my list to make sure it is complete so I can get my shopping done this week in KC for the things I need for Japan. Only three more weeks before we leave. Wish I could buy more endurance and physical strength! I have been slacking getting my body ready for this adventure.
Kathy got home last night. She sure seemed to be happy to be back to the quiet prairie. She had a good trip but it is always good to be home. Sophia grew leaps and bounds again. My dogs were happy to see the two of them.
Need to go to Emporia for lettuce for the chickens for the week. I am going to trade vehicles with Craig when I go to town so Nicole has a truck to use this week. It makes it easier to move things with an open bed truck. Not sure Craig enjoys driving my little car but I’m grateful he is willing to do so to help out Nicole.
Another hot, lazy day on the prairie. Kathy headed downstairs to take a nap and I am thinking I may be headed to my bed soon to take one myself. Hot weather drains me and I didn’t sleep much last night. It is a good day for a nap.
Bright blue skies. Lazy day. All is well on the prairie today!
