This has been a day of sleep for me. I was way overdue for a crash and burn day. I slept between 10 and 12 hours last night, was up for 2 hours then slept 2 to 3 more. Geez, I haven’t had that much sleep for the last two weeks combined. I’m still tired and could go take another nap right now. Wonder if I will sleep tonight?
Took Sophia on a long walk late afternoon. We walked down to check out the river. We got almost 4 inches of rain very quickly last night. The river is raging and high. There is a chance it will close the road between Cottonwood Falls and Strong City sometime tomorrow afternoon. It may get to the ditches but not close it. We shall see what happens.
If the road closes the only way to get to Emporia is to go all the way to Cassody and then up the turnpike to Emporia. That will take an hour or so. I will cancel my exercise class tomorrow if the road closes. Kathy has to go to Emporia at 1:00 and is hoping she can make it the easy way to town.
I got my 2024 blog printed out yesterday. Now I need to three hole punch the paper and put it in a big binder. It is an easy job but one I have to be in the right mood to do and so far that mood hasn’t come. I’ll get to it sooner or later.
If I can get to town tomorrow I will go in for exercise at 2:00. I don’t have any errands to do so it will be a trip to town for that and then I will come back home. It is good to have lots of empty space right now. I still haven’t taken the time to process all the grief I am holding from the three deaths in my family last month.
I have very little on my to-do list right now. It feels weird to have an empty list after all the chaos of the first half of the year. It will take me a bit to get used to not having a long list of things to do and to settle into this new energy around me.
Grateful for sleep at last, grateful for the rain we received, and grateful for this empty space.
