Have almost two inches in my rain gauge from yesterday’s rain. I am grateful for every drop. My yard does not feel very wet as the rain came nice and gentle and the ground was able to soak it up. It was so nice going to bed last night as I had the window cracked open and could hear the gentle rain and the thunder rolling across the hills.
I went to bed at 6:30 last night. I read for a couple of hours and attempted sleep. It was hit and miss all night long. I think I saw every hour on my clock. I did sleep but not for very long at a time. Grateful for what sleep I did get. I do feel rested today which I didn’t yesterday.
I didn’t take my shower today until after 2:00. It has been a beautiful day to sit in my pajamas and knit. The sky is bright blue today and it is finally warming up. The air feels crisp and clean and you can definitely tell fall is in the air. Love days like this!
Finished one shawl yesterday and have another one almost half way done. I had to go down to my basement store-room and get some trim yarn. Ended up reorganizing the room I have it stored in. It is exciting to think I may get a tote or two of shawl and blanket yarn emptied out. I’ll see how long this urge to get this yarn used up lasts. I had forgotten what a mess knitting makes. I don’t like the tote sitting out in my living room. Guess I can put it in my closet and fetch yarn daily from there. The yarn sheds and leaves yarn fibers everywhere that looks like dog hair. Maybe I can blame Sophia!
I sent a note to my doctor asking for a third prescription for sleeping pills. I remember years ago I used one and ask him if I could try that one this time. I’ll see what he has to say Monday. Kathy is thinking the insurance company makes him prescribe what he has tried before they will allow him to do the real deal. I do better without the two he has tried so far.
I am making a list of questions to ask my Endocrinologist Friday. She only allowed thirty minutes for my appointment. Trusting she can talk fast. I have lots of questions.
Today has been a much better day for me. Realized yesterday my latest round of crankiness started when I started taking this last round of sleeping pills. I am used to not sleeping. I am not used to the drugged feeling. It was depressing me. Thankful I figured out what was going on and stopped it. Sometimes I am a bit slow to figure that stuff out.
Need to go to town in the morning and get critter food. I had stocked up before surgery and they have gone through the stash I had for them. I need dog food, chicken feed and oats. May need to ask for help at the stores to lift the 50 pound sacks as I don’t think it would be wise for me to do so myself. I can tell I am still healing inside from surgery. My recovery has gone so smoothly I don’t want to slow it down by doing something stupid like lifting three 50 pound sacks of feed. I also need to remember to get me some food. I have a tendency to forget that.
Probably should at least think about doing some house cleaning. I haven’t done much since I had guests the end of September. I so enjoy a completely cleaned house but that somehow doesn’t provide the motivation for me to clean unless I have company coming. Sure wish it would stay cleaner longer than it does.
Enjoying this beautiful day. Kansas doesn’t get much better than the show it is putting on today. All is well on the prairie!
