This has been a recovery day for me. I woke up at 6:00 this morning after sleeping six hours straight. That is a lot of sleep for me. By 7:45 I was headed into Emporia to pick up some groceries. Walmart was not crowded so I took my time and got some things off my list of non-urgent things. I filled my cart full today. Took me a while when I got home to get everything carried in and put away.
We listened to church and had technical issues. We could barely hear the service on Facebook so switched to the radio broadcast. It cut out during the sermon. Went back to Facebook but I gave up as it was too hard to hear.
I had lunch and then took a long, afternoon’s nap. I slept for over two hours this afternoon. Trusting I will be able to sleep tonight.
Grilled hamburgers on the George Foreman grill and fixed Jim corn on the cob. I had some broccoli with my burger. Simple dinner tonight was all I could handle.
I have been working on making more face masks. Got all the ribbon sewed together and the first seam done in the big stack of masks. I have the first bunch pinned and am starting to actually finish some. It takes a bit to get to this point but they go together pretty quickly once I get there.
I am cranky this evening. I picked up some energy that isn’t mine to keep and need to discharge it. It feels thick and heavy to me. I need to go for a walk and let it go but am having trouble getting out the door to do so. Maybe I’ll get there yet – then again maybe not.
Need to run to the bank and post office tomorrow in Cottonwood Falls. May have enough recycling to take a load. I need to start cleaning house and making my packing list for our CO trip. July 1 will be here soon.
The weather feels like it could build into a big storm tonight. We had some rain forecast earlier but it has been removed from the forecast. The air is thick and heavy and the sky is getting darker. The system may go to the northeast of us and miss us.
Hoping the lead wires to my heart monitor will come in tomorrow so can start that process. I got a recorded call today reminding me I needed to start the monitoring process. I sure would if I could. My heart rate has ranged from 42 to 165 today with an average resting rate of 44. Maybe that is why I feel a bit sluggish tonight.
May take some time tonight and write a few letters. I did good writing them until June 1 and have slacked off since. I enjoy writing them and I need to do something fun tonight. Wish the Crisis Text Line needed help tonight but last I checked they had way more counselors than texters. When it isn’t my scheduled shift I don’t like to hop on and take calls away from those that are scheduled to work.
Have a quiet week planned. Will do some cleaning, sewing and preparing the chicken coop. Jim is going to Stillwater Tuesday so I will have a couple days to myself. As cranky as I am tonight I bet he wished he was going tonight.
Grateful for a recovery day, grateful for a long nap, and grateful for Jim’s sewing machine that has sewn miles lately.
