I am patiently waiting for Kathy, her daughter Joy, and Joy’s twins to arrive. They should be here between 6:00 and 7:00 this evening. It sounds like they have had some fun adventures on their drive to KS from CT. It will be glad to see them when they arrive safe and sound.
I got everything on my to-do list completed. I went to Emporia and picked up a prescription and a few more groceries. Did a couple loads of laundry and got some cleaning done. I may take a short nap this afternoon. I seem to be sleepy today for some reason.
Tomorrow I am taking the Pioneer Bluffs Newsletter to the post office in Cottonwood Falls. Someone was going to drive all the way from Matfield Green today to pick them up and then drive again tomorrow to drop them off at the post office. That didn’t make sense as I am only 10 minutes from the Cottonwood Falls Post Office. I need to go to Cottonwood Falls tomorrow anyways to drop off the recycling. I think it will all fit in my car.
The chicks are still all alive and growing fast. Tomorrow I will combine them into one pen as the newest babies will be one week old tomorrow. Trusting that will go well.
It has reached 70 degrees today and may go up another few degrees before the afternoon is over. Too bad the wind is blowing hard. It will be in the mid 50’s for Monday and Tuesday and then the 40’s for the rest of the week. This is the time of year where you could change clothes three times a day to dress for the every changing KS weather. We have a chance for some rain/snow mix on Tuesday and Wednesday. I will be grateful for some moisture for the prairie. It is very dry and fire conditions are high right now with the high wind.
It will be a change for me to have Kathy living here again. It will be a change for her too as both of us are used to living alone. Good thing we have done this before and know what to expect from each other. It will be nice to have company and not go so many days without talking to someone besides myself.
Other than having Joy and her twins here this week I don’t have anything on my calendar this week. Some family members are coming out for dinner Tuesday night so they can see Joy and the twins and welcome Kathy back to KS. That will be fun!
There was an article in the newspaper today about a cruise ship that is going to offer a three-year trip around the world. Man that sounds fun! I looked at the details and thought about it. I would almost be tempted to look further at it. With my thyroid problems I’m not sure it would be wise for me to consider it but dang would I love to do that. I do have an adventurous streak in me!
Feel like I have turned a corner in my healing somehow. I am starting to recover a bit quicker when I get drained. I am not getting as frustrated with the little annoying things that happen during the day. And most importantly am finding myself above the neutral point on the consciousness chart most times. It is good to be back again! I know I have more healing to do but am pleased with my progress.
Grateful Kathy, Joy and the twins will be here soon, grateful for a completed to-do list, and grateful to have come back home to myself.
