Burrr….. It has been windy and cold on the prairie today. There was some sleet acclimating earlier today. Low 30’s with wind which makes it feel like the low 20’s.
I bundled up to go down to do the chickens. I put on my insulated overalls and kept nice and warm. Luckily the girls didn’t need water today so I didn’t have to haul it down. They gave me 18 eggs. What else do they have to do on a cold day but lay an egg – right?
I’m watching the Chiefs game this afternoon. They don’t look so good so far today. I heard Mahomes has had the flu. Wonder why they let him play. Hope the rest of the team doesn’t get it this week.
Haven’t even attempted to do anything today. I’m in the mood to sit and stay warm. I don’t like cold weather and I am protesting it today. Lot of good that will do but …….
I am going to Emporia tomorrow afternoon to pick up a small grocery order. I only needed a few things. Trying to think of other things I need to do while I am in town but haven’t come up with anything yet. I don’t like to go to town for only one thing.
Have several projects I need to work on. Hoping tomorrow I will get my ass moving and get with it. My get up and go got up and left today and I’m not going to push myself. Sometimes it is best to read my own energy and go with the flow rather than trying something and not being successful.
We are to be back in the lower 60’s by next weekend. That is more my type of weather. I will be able to turn the hose back on for water for the chickens. I hope the warmer weather sticks around for a bit.
I’m still fasting 18 – 20 hours a day. I really like it. It has simplified my life as I only have to fix two meals a day, instead of three. I have lost over 10 pounds so far but have 30 to go. 25% there! I can do this, I can do this. At least, that is what I keep telling myself.
Feeling a bit lost and unmoored today. Grateful the eclipse was last night and the collective energy will be calming down over the next couple of days. It has been a wild ride the last couple of weeks. It has left me feeling empty again. I’m grateful I have lots of empty space on my calendar this week so I can refill and recharge.
Grateful the chicken chores are done for the day, grateful the house is warm and toasty inside, and grateful it is to warm up in a couple of days.
