This has been a weird day for me. I have trouble remembering it is Sunday. Not sure what day I think it is but I am surprised every time I look at the date and realize it is Sunday. At 11:30 this morning I was thinking it was time to fix dinner. Crazy, mixed up type of day for me.
Maybe it is the effect of the daylight savings time change? I don’t think I am senile or have dementia. Just a mixed up type of day. I’ve done this before and usually the next day is back to my normal level of craziness.
I haven’t done much today. I did go down and dig out some yarn. I am feeling the urge to knit again. I have lots of yarn but not in the color combinations I am looking for. I may try a blanket with what I have but I don’t love the color combination so not sure I can make myself do it. We shall see what happens.
I went on line and looked at some new to me knitting patterns. I like to make stripe blankets and to try new combinations of stripes. It helps to have a pattern that lays it out for me.
The sun is shining on the prairie today. Hallelujah! Unfortunately with the sun came the wind. It is 42 out but only feels like 32 due to the wind chill effect. Dang it anyways. At least the sun is shining. It is to shine tomorrow too and then go back to cloud cover for the next seven to ten days. Chance of snow by Friday. Hopefully when it gets closer they will change the forecast and remove the snow. Not looking good for me to move the chicks outside this week.
One of the chicks got on top of their pen. Not sure how they found the hole between the shelves I put over the top of the pen. I couldn’t catch her but I moved the shelves and she went back down into the pen. By the end of the next week their pen will be too crowded for them as much as they are growing. Hard to keep their feeders full.
Tomorrow I am babysitting my six year old grandson. He will keep me busy and entertained all day. I need to check my refrigerator and make sure I have some kid friendly food in the house. One trick I learned a long time ago with grandkids is to keep them fed and not let them get hungry.
I don’t have anything else on my calendar for the week after Monday. I need to find something to do. I have been sitting way too much and need to get my body moving but don’t know what to do to make that happen. Still sitting in the in-between stage of my life. I’m sure the right thing will show up at the right time for me.
I want to get some buttons made up for a family thing that is being held in August. I would like them to say Patton/Johnson 4th generation, Patton/Johnson 5th generation, Patton/Johnson 6th generation, and yet others would say Patton/Johnson 7th generation. Anyone know of someone that makes them? I can find them on-line but you have to order a minimum of 50 each and I don’t need that many.
Still in a good head space, even if I am a bit mixed up today with time and date. Feeling more optimistic about my future than I have for a long time. I have been able to hold myself above the mid-line of consciousness lately most of the time. I still drop below mid-line when I am out and around too many people but even that is lessening. It is amazing what a bit of time can do for a healing journey.
Grateful for the sun shining on the prairie today, grateful I can hold myself about mid-line, and grateful for many generations of deep roots in Chase County.
