Lazy day on the prairie today.  I was going to clean house all day today and haven’t done much yet.  It is too beautiful outside to stay inside today.  Mid 50’s, no wind and bright blue skies.  Love spring days like this.

Went into Emporia and met Tim and Ellexia for lunch.  I wanted to see Ellexia before I take off for three weeks.  Tagen was at his dad’s house so I didn’t get to see him.  Michelle has worked the last three nights so she was home sleeping.

I stopped at JCPenny’s after lunch and got a few t-shirts to take on my trip.  I hadn’t replaced my bigger t-shirts last summer after I lost weight and wanted a few short-sleeved shirts to take with me if the weather decides to warm up while I am on my trip.

Stopped by Michelle’s house and picked up two big bags full of Tagen’s hand me downs.  I went through them and found three pairs of jeans that fit and lots of t-shirts.  Thanks guys!  I will find a good home for the things I couldn’t fit into or didn’t want.  Anyone know of a little guy that wears size 14 or 16 and is in need of some good quality jeans and shirts?

Went down to the chicken coop and removed the heat lamp and heated watering can.  Put the long extension cord into the barn.  They have rearranged their fresh linens.  I only got two eggs though.  Sure hope they start laying big time while I am gone.  They are barely keeping me in eggs the last couple of weeks.  My allowance for them slacking is just about used up.

Tonight I am going to Ad Astra for dinner at 6:00.  Elexa Dawson is singing and I love listening to her.  I reserved a table for two and it will just be me.  Anyone want to meet me there?

All I want to do today is sit out on the back deck and enjoy the warmth and the sunshine.  It is absolutely beautiful out.  Rain is in the forecast for much of the coming week.  Maybe I ought to treat myself and give myself permission to rest today and enjoy the fresh air.

Tomorrow I have a doctor’s appointment in the morning and then will need to pack in the afternoon.  I am doing a tax shift Tuesday morning and plan to head for OK after that shift is done.  I want to have my car packed and ready before I go to bed Monday night.  I’m getting excited to see my Match guy again and to think that we will get to spend three weeks together.

Grateful for this beautiful spring day on the prairie with no wind, grateful for new to me clothes, and grateful my trip starts in only two days.
