Got up this morning and went out and mowed. Figured out what was wrong with my mower and got it started without issue. Mowed the entire yard. Got kissed by the sun a bit. There was a nice breeze and it didn’t feel too hot mowing today. Jim went out this afternoon and pushed mowed to trim the yard. The yard sure looks nice now.
Jason and his partner and her two kids came out for dinner. It is so nice to have adult conversation with someone. Oh how I have missed having my family together. I fixed chili and homemade cinnamon rolls for dinner. They stayed and watch the sun go down. The temperature has dropped nicely this evening and it was a beautiful evening to sit outside and visit.
My neighbor came and picked up five chickens. She will be back tomorrow night for five more. She will get the rest of them Tuesday night. After they are all gone I will need to get the chicken coop cleaned out really good. I hope to get baby chickens and start over the first of August. I can’t wait to be back in the egg business.
Finally feel like I have had a productive day. I hadn’t had one for a bit. I am tired tonight but it is a good type of tired.
Last night my smart watch kept going off telling me my heart rate was too low. I took one of the new pills my doctor had prescribed and it caused my heart rate to go down to 40 and stay there most of the night. I didn’t take another one this morning. I sent my doctor a note through MyChart and trust he will tell me tomorrow on what to do. I don’t think that is the medication for me. I think I will call my Cardiologist and make an appointment with him. 40 is a tad low!
Nothing on the calendar for tomorrow. I do need to make a few phone calls. The exhaust stack on the barn has blown down and I need to call the guys to come repair it. I need to call the Cardiologist and make an appointment, and I need to check with my family doctor about the medication. If I don’t hear from my Endocrinologist about my TSH level I need to call her office again. I have a short grocery list that one or the other of us need to get. We also need to go look at office chairs and get two new chairs for the study. We might look for some deck chairs too.
Thursday I am to get my new oven installed. I had ordered it way back in February and the delivery got delayed due to Covid-19 restrictions. Trusting it will get delivered and installed on Thursday. It has been paid for all this time.
Friday I go to Topeka for my Ultrasound on my neck and then we are going to Stillwater for a week. I will need to get the house ready for my friend that is coming to house sit and get packed to go to Stillwater. I am almost wishing we didn’t have to go but know we will enjoy our time there when we get there.
This week will go by quickly again. Next week we will be in Stillwater and come home so we can go to KC on the 20th for Nicole’s wedding. That Will be a fun event! Then home for 10 days and then off to CO for four weeks. The summer will go by very fast. I am looking forward to August and things settling in for a bit. Although if I can find a house sitter in August we will probably spend a week in Stillwater sometime in August too.
Finally feeling like I am back in my peaceful valley of life. Finding a bit of a rhythm to life on the prairie again. One benefit of being back home is getting to see my kids and have wonderful evenings like tonight.
Grateful Jason and his family came out this evening, grateful the yard is mowed, and grateful for the peace and quiet of the prairie tonight.
