Went into Emporia this morning to run errands. I stopped at Sutherlands and got smoke detectors for the new investment property. Went to the Doctor’s office and had my blood draw. Dropped some things off at my friend’s brother-in-law’s house. Stopped and picked up my prescription and some groceries and then headed west.
We went by the rental house and dropped off the siding pieces. Visited for a short while with my handyman and gave my friend a tour of the new house.
Came home and fixed lunch and then we both took a nap this afternoon. Jim got home around 6:15. We had dinner and then unloaded his car.
I fixed a chicken in the crock pot for dinner. Baked potatoes for Jim and my friend and fixed a veggie and called in dinner. Tomorrow night I am gong to fix Ham and Corn Chowder as it is supposed to rain all day. Soup on a rainy day sounds good.
The girls gave me 28 eggs today. I now have 9 dozen in the refrigerator. They sure add up quickly.
I am tired this evening so will call it a day soon. I got up early this morning and I had trouble sleeping last night. Only napped for about 30 minutes today so am hoping I will be able to sleep tonight.
Tomorrow I don’t have much on my calendar. I have to change the batteries in the dog’s collars but other than that don’t have anything I have to do. It will be a nice day to stay inside and be lazy and visit with my friend.
I got the results of my thyroid TSH test back and my levels have dropped from 4.1 to 3.6. They are moving in the right direction. It is still too high as my goal is 1.5 – 2.0. I sure wish I could keep my levels more stable but for what ever reason my body doesn’t seem to be able to do that.
I now have three guests coming for the week of the Disc Golf tournament in Emporia. I think the first one is coming in a week from Saturday. I’ll have to spend some time next week cleaning house good – including all of the basement. It will be fun to see the guys that are coming – two of the three are repeat guests and fun to have around.
Saturday and Sunday I hope to paint most of both days at the new house. I really need to make a dent in all the painting I have to do. It is feeling a bit overwhelming again. I know if I can get a couple of full days painting in I can make good progress and get lots done. Some days it feels we are really getting close to being done and other days it feels like we will never be done.
Grateful for a day with my friend, grateful Jim had a safe trip to Stillwater and back, and grateful my TSH levels have dropped a bit.
