Not a very productive day today. I washed some boards on the front of the house. I’m waiting on Jim to finish removing the upper boards before I can get them washed and then start painting. I don’t have another project to do so I wait.
It has been cloudy and muggy today. Sure feels like a storm could blow in tonight. It reached the mid 80’s today and it felt like low 90’s with the heat index. I don’t like hot and humid weather.
A week from tomorrow we move to Kansas. I need to start pulling things out and get them packed. I managed to bring a lot of stuff here that I need to take back home. Jim hasn’t started figuring out what he wants to take. we will be back and forth enough that we don’t need to worry if we don’t get what we need the first trip. We are taking two cars this time so will have room to take a bunch of stuff. My house in KS is starting to fill up.
I’ve been quiet today. Not sure why. I did take a NyQuil last night so I could sleep and probably have a bit of a hangover as a result. I haven’t fallen in the muck pond but am feeling a bit down. It may also be a result of not accomplishing much today. Just the cloudy day blues perhaps.
I did write the grandkids their weekly letter today. I have a bunch of other mail that needs to go to the post office and wanted to get their letters done and out with the rest. I may write a few more tonight and take all to the post office tomorrow.
We cleaned the grill and then grilled brats for dinner. The grill flamed up but because we cleaned it they didn’t get charred. I laid hamburger out for dinner tomorrow night but not sure what I am going to make out of it.
It doesn’t feel like a holiday weekend to me. Nothing is anything different than normal. Everyday is a holiday when you are retired. I miss going to the cemeteries this weekend. Will go sometime after we get home in June.
Still having some shoulder issues. The right one acts up when we walk and stays painful for some time afterwards. The left one hurts when I move it wrong or lay on it at night. Once it hurts it stays hurting for quite a while. I did request a doctor’s appointment with my family physician for the first week in June. If a miracle happens and they both calm down I can cancel the appointment.
Grateful for NyQuil that helps me sleep – even when it causes me to have a hangover the next day, grateful I get to move home in a week from tomorrow, and grateful for quiet, introspective days.
