I was awake and dressed before 6:30 this morning so went into Emporia to pick Ellexia up so Michelle didn’t have to drive her out after dropping Tagen off for school.
Ellexia was in a much better mood this morning and played nicely all morning. Around noon time we went back into Emporia. We stopped to get chicken feed at Bluestem and then went to Freddie’s for lunch. Michelle picked up Tagen and then met us at Freddie’s. We had lunch and then I brought the two kids out here for the rest of the day.
Ellexia missed Tagen all morning but then fought with him all afternoon. Sibling love! Gotta love it.
I managed to get my bedroom and bathroom floors cleaned today. Still need to dust and clean the toilet but am almost done with those two rooms. At least I got something done today. Still didn’t sleep much last night and haven’t felt very good today.
The lady I get straw from is finally going to deliver some tomorrow. I had ask her two months ago for some more and she had forgotten about it. I pay her a little extra to deliver it and stack it for me. It would take several trips in my little car for me to get 10 bales homes.
One of my guests that was going on the eclipse bus ride decided not to go. I only have one person on the wait list. I sent her an email to see if she still wanted to go with us. If not, I will have one open spot if anyone wants to join us. We are leaving from my house at 8:00 am Monday, August 21 and are going to Atchison, KS. Planning on being back here around 5:00 but hard to tell as it depends on traffic. Cost is $50 which includes lunch, snacks and the bus ride.
I am taking Star in to get fixed in the morning. Trusting I can get her penned up this evening. She is not leash trained so this may be fun in the morning. Hoping once she is fixed she won’t run so far away.
The kids both have school tomorrow so after I take Star to the vet I will have a free day. After three days in a row of grandkids I am ready for a free day. My age is showing I think. I don’t handle them as well as I used to. We managed to have three good days for the most part though.
Still struggling to get rid of my jet lag. I talked to Nicole yesterday and she is having the same issues. I had a spurt of energy today so maybe by tomorrow I will be good for more of the day.
My heart is a bit heavy with all that is happening in the world. Legend is gone. A loved one is fighting for her life. The world events seem mighty heavy. Jet lag. Doing my best to refill my self with light and love and send it out to the world.
Times like this calls all of us to be gentle with each other and with ourselves. All is well even when it doesn’t feel like it is. Going to take some time and breathe deeply and release what I no longer need. This too shall pass. All IS well!
