Another night of sleeping in bits and pieces. So frustrating!
I had a lunch meeting in Emporia at 11:00 this morning. Afterwards I got cat food and cat litter, went to the bank, and then stopped and loaded up on chicken feed. I haven’t done much since I got home except for finishing my laundry. I had gotten the grandkids some bigger clothes for the baskets I keep at my house and got the new clothes washed up and ready for them to come stay the night.
Three of my guests were here when I returned from town. They spent the afternoon napping as they all had been up and out of the house by 6:15. One of them had a 7:00 tee time this morning. Not sure what their plans are for dinner. So far they haven’t asked if they can use the kitchen to cook.
My other guest drove to KC today to pick up his wife to bring her out for the next two days. They haven’t gotten back here yet this afternoon.
The wind returned in a big hurry this afternoon. It was beautiful out this morning but that changed when the wind came in. The temperature dropped about 10 degrees when the wind came in. The wind is starting to slow down a bit now but still going fairly strong. I closed the open windows as the house was getting too cold. I may be able to open them again soon if the wind continues to slow down.
I hope it is nice enough we can sit out and watch the sunset again tonight. It is about 10 degrees colder than it was last night so may have to take some blankets out if we sit outside tonight. Right now if we were out in the swings the wind would be pushing us nicely.
This has turned into a rather lazy day for me. Maybe I won’t even try to get anything done and chalk this day up to being a rest day. I haven’t taken a rest day for several days. Maybe the motivation to do something will find me yet today and I will get something done.
The restlessness that had been with me for several days seems to have quieted way down. I can still sense it but it is at a very low level tonight. Still not sure what was causing it although I do have lots going on right now with some major changes headed my way. Funny how somedays the restlessness roars rather loudly and other days it is quiet. Kinda like the wind I guess. I do my best to acknowledge what I am feeling and allow it to be what it is. It doesn’t require me to do anything about it. The more I can allow it to be the faster it seems to quiet down.
Grateful for being able to claim today as a lazy day, grateful the big haul of chicken feed is done, and grateful the wind is calming down. The wind was wearing on me a bit this afternoon.
