We had a fun lunch with Jason and his family. It was so nice to have a “normal” event. I had forgotten how fun it is to have the kids out for a meal. We took a risk but it was so worth it. Not sure we do it often but every once in awhile a Mom has to do what a Mom has to do!
It is plain ass cold on on the prairie today. The wind is strong from the north. We all went down to check out the chickens after lunch and I was cold by the time I came back up to the house even though I had worn my heavy winter coat. The chickens didn’t stay outside very long and I walked down later and closed them back up. They are smart to stay inside out of the cold and wind.
I laid down this afternoon to take a nap but couldn’t fall asleep. I finally got up and decided I would go to bed early tonight instead. My appointment tomorrow is at 1:00 so we will need to leave for Topeka around 11:45. I sure hope I find some answers tomorrow or at least get on the path to finding answers.
Not sure if I am going to fix dinner tonight. Jim usually only eats one meal a day and snacks otherwise. I fixed spaghetti and meat balls for lunch so we had a heavy lunch. I sent the leftovers into town with Jason and he was going to drop them off at Michelle’s house. We have some ham salad that needs used up so that may become dinner.
Not sure I am mentally prepared for winter yet. The older I get the harder it is to deal with cold weather. Actually I don’t like hot weather either. My comfort range is very narrow. I like 60 – 80. Maybe I need to move somewhere else. KS doesn’t seem to do 60 – 80 very well.
Feeling a bit restless today. Not sure if it is anticipation of what tomorrow might bring or something else. Having trouble settling in this afternoon to what is. I’m sure this too shall pass.
Grateful for the time we had with Jason’s family today, grateful for my fireplace today, and grateful it is to be warmer tomorrow.
