Went in to the investment property this morning and painted for two hours. I should finish the kitchen cabinets tomorrow. Then I will have to attach the hardware and door knobs and get things back together again. I need to figure out how to change out the bit in the power screw driver. I don’t use that thing very often and forget every time how to do it.
Jim taught his sixth and final OSHER class for this time around. He starts a new three week course on Monday. I’ll be glad when this next class is over and I get Jim back. He puts in hours and hours prepping for the classes.
The chickens gave me 28 eggs yesterday. I have 29 laying hens. Today I got 25. Anyone need eggs? I had cleared out my stash over the weekend but am back to having 7 dozen in the refrigerator.
We went into Emporia after Jim was done with his class. Delivered cookies to the kids and then went to Sutherland’s. I found a board that will work to fix the back of a kitchen cabinet that has a broken back. I also picked up one kitchen cabinet hinge to see if it will work. If they do I will try to get some more ordered tomorrow. I was going to get a gallon of paint but there wasn’t anyone in the paint department and I didn’t want to have to chase someone down.
I have a pot roast cooking in the crock pot for dinner tonight. The house smells so good. It will be an easy dinner to dish out and serve.
I feel like I want to run away today. Not sure what I want to run away from or where I would go. Maybe who I want to run away from is myself. Feeling very restless and like I have ants in my pants type of day. I went out and pulled a garbage sack of weeds from the swing circle this afternoon. That felt grounding to get my hands in the dirt and pull weeds.
Something feels unresolved but not sure what that might be. Reminding myself to allow it to be what it is and not to make a story about it. And this too shall pass.
The handyman got the window sills fixed as well as some trim work done yesterday. He is making great progress. It is so fun to go in and see what he has gotten done. He is going to work either Saturday or Sunday and get some more things done. I didn’t hear from the electrician today (no big surprise there) so not sure when they are coming. Hopefully early next week they will make it out. They need to get there work done so the handyman can finish his.
The wind has been in a hurry all day today. We have had gusts up to 40 MPH with sustained winds over 25 most of the day. The sound of it is starting to wear me out. It did warm up this afternoon and if you can find a place outside out of the wind it is nice out. There were some light clouds earlier that were casting beautiful cloud shadows on the prairie.
Grateful for all the eggs my chickens are giving me, grateful for the smell of pot roast tonight, and grateful for the beauty the clouds and sun provided today on the prairie.
