A relaxing day today. Didn’t get much done. I did get all the flannel and sheets cut into pieces so I can make more masks when I get back to KS. Still need to press them so they will be ready to put together.
Jim had gotten two big packages of ham pieces at the grocery store yesterday. One package was butt ends and the other was odd pieces of sliced ham. We worked over an hour getting them put into smaller packages to put into the freezer. We made ham salad with some of the smallest pieces. Hadn’t had ham salad for a long time and it is really good. We have some extra ground ham so will fix a ham loaf for dinner tomorrow night.
I was going to fix scalloped potatoes with ham for dinner tonight. I fixed scalloped potatoes but forgot to put the ham in it. Sometimes I wonder about myself! I thought the pan was not full enough but couldn’t figure out what I had forgotten.
It reached the mid 90’s here today. I stayed inside Mose of the day. We will go take our walk when it cools down a bit. I don’t do well in this hot of weather.
We only walked one mile last night. We waited until dark before we walked as it was hot yesterday too. We need to walk longer than that tonight.
I have had a day where I wanted to eat all day long. I finally am stuffed and will probably have reflux later. Sure wish I knew what caused those types of days. I used to be able to not eat between meals but not today.
I got an alarm on my phone that my heart rate had dropped below 45 and stayed there for at least 10 minutes this morning. I hadn’t been up too long when that happened. I’m tracking it on my calendar now so I can report to my Cardiologist when it happens. Can’t seem to find a consistent pattern when it happens.
Finally got hold of someone at Best Buy. They called me back after about an hour and the guy was able to take care of the exchange paperwork. The new replacement oven won’t be delivered until August 7. This has been the longest process as I ordered the new oven way back in February. I’ll be glad when this project gets crossed off my to-do list.
I didn’t sleep very good last night. I would sleep for an hour or so then be up for an hour or so and repeated that all night long. Makes for a long night when that happens.
We don’t have any big plans for tomorrow. Jim has some phone calls to make to get some workers to the house this week. He also has a shopping list he wants to take care of. If I get up early enough I’ll go out and paint in the morning. It might wait until later in the week though.
Oklahoma has seen lots of new Covid-19 cases. Stillwater has more now than they have had during the whole time. I don’t think this crisis is going to go away very soon. It is getting hard for me to remember to continue to take precautions when I am out and about. I trust I won’t drop my guard too low and get sick. Jim is much better at taking precautions than I am. We both wear masks when we go into a public building. We still limit where we go and how often we go out. Not sure when I might feel comfortable going to a restaurant or being in a crowd inside.
We both are missing the cats. I have gone to the back room twice today to check on Katie and thought I heard Tony at the door earlier today. Got a text from the house sitter that all the critters are doing well back home and all seem to be playing nice in our absence.
Grateful the flannel and sheet pieces are cut, grateful I was able to get hold of Best Buy today, and grateful for a day of rest and relaxation.
Nice to hear about what’s doing with you all, that you’re well and normality of it, too, in these ❤️ wild and crazy times! I think I’ll be making ham salad, too! Glad that you wrote this.
