I had a fun afternoon. Jason brought Cody out for a knitting lesson. Cody is seven and I think knitting looks easier for him than it was. He helped me do two rows and then was done. We will have an other go at it next time he comes home. He took some knitting lessons and yarn home with him to practice. Hmmmm…. I suggested he watch a YouTube video and see if that will help him. Stranger things have happened – right?
Cody helped me do the chicken chores. Thankfully the rooster behaved himself and didn’t come after us. Cody gathered 14 eggs to bring to the house. He has learned to gently pick them up and put them in the basket.
I didn’t get my cleaning done today but that is OK. It was much more fun playing with Cody and visiting with Jason. My favorite days are the days when one or more of my kids come home for a visit.
I binged watched a series on TV last night called Northern Exposure. If you haven’t seen it, it is good. I didn’t like the ending but I don’t’ know if there will be another season or not. I stayed up way too late watching the last of it.
We got some rain during the day today. My rain gauge is down so not sure how much. It wasn’t too wet when I walked down to do the chickens this afternoon so guessing less than half of an inch. The ground is still pretty dry. We have a chance for more rain tomorrow. Need lots more rain to catch up a bit.
I didn’t make it to the grocery store today so will go in tomorrow sometime. Ellexia isn’t cheering Tuesday so won’t have to go in then. I will get the trip to the grocery store over with tomorrow and then I will get to stay home for the rest of the week. I will get my cleaning done tomorrow and Tuesday and then I can start ccooking Wednesday.
This hasn’t felt like Sunday to me. Not sure why my days of the week are off but I am a bit lost as to day of the week. The Chiefs playing tomorrow night may have messed me up. It doesn’t feel like Sunday in the fall unless the Chiefs are on. Ha!
I’m watching a Netflix Christmas movie trying to find some Christmas spirit. Not sure I ever found it last year. So far it hasn’t worked but I do believe in miracles. Maybe I will find the Christmas spirit it this year!
I need to start thinking about my word for the year for next year. This year my word was balance. It served me well and had lots of lessons for me. When I am out of balance emotionally, mentally or physically life gets hard. It is still hard for me to remain in balance all the time but am getting better at it, especially since I have begun learning about boundaries. Maybe boundaries will be my word for next year so I can continue to learn about them and the lessons they have for me.
Still staying above the neutral level on the consciousness scale. It feels so good to be able to maintain myself now. A year ago I wasn’t able to do that. Lots of personal growth and healing happened for myself this year.
Grateful for the visit from Jason and Cody today, grateful for what rain we did get, and grateful for personal growth and healing.
