I took a day of rest today. It is cold out and cloudy and I am having a low energy type of day. Nothing on my to-do list is pending so decided to not even attempt to cross something off the list. Somedays you need to give in and go with the path of least resistance, which for me was a day of rest today.
I did get my chicken chores done. The girls are giving me between 18 – 22 eggs a day. I have a big stack of eggs if anyone needs some. $3 a dozen. As Cody says they are Yummy for the tummy!
Tomorrow late afternoon I am going to Topeka for Tagen’s JV game at 6:15. Hoping it won’t be quite so cold then as it is now. I will remember to take a blanket this time, just in case.
I am enjoying having lots of empty space in my life again. I can feel my body getting more relaxed by the day. As an introvert, I need lots of quiet, alone time to recharge myself. It does my body good!
Have someone interested in renting space in my barn. He came to look at it today and sounds interested. We shall see if he takes it. I need to get down there and do some rearranging if he decides to rent it. I have a trailer that needs sold, a doghouse to take to town, and lots of trash to get out of there. I forget about the barn most of the time and forget to go down there and clean it up.
It is to warm up this week and the wind is to slow down some. Maybe I can get out and get the chicken coop cleaned out and the rest of the yard mowed.
I turned my furnace on earlier last week. I hope I can turn it back off again this week. Way too early to be burning propane but it got cold! I need to go down and check the level of propane in my tank to make sure it has enough to get me through another cold spell or two.
Feeling a bit overwhelmed with all the little things that need done around here. I let the yard get away from me this year and the flower beds all need some tender loving care to clean them up for the winter. I need to get the weed wacker out and clean up the edges of the yard before winter too. Lots of cleaning needs done inside and the barn needs cleaned out. Unfortunately none of it is urgent and pressing so I tend to put it off again and again. If I don’t get to some of the outside work, I won’t be able to get it done before the snow flies.
Feeling very content and full this afternoon. I feel like I have finally gotten all the way home from my trip and am finding my new rhythm without the kiddos here. I trust I won’t have any more emergency home repairs for a bit and things can stay calmed down around here and I can deal with normal stuff. I kinda lost knowing what normal feels like.
Grateful for a quiet day at home, grateful for my fireplace that has helped keep me warm today, and grateful I allowed myself a complete rest day today.
