I took my car to Dieker’s this morning to get the oil changed. I met a friend and visited for an hour or so while the oil was changed. It was good to catch up with her and have some adult conversation.
Went to Emporia this afternoon to pick up my grocery order. I stopped at Bluestem and got 200 pounds of chicken feed. That should feed the girls for about a month. Had to go inside Walmart to get a couple of things and then I picked up my order and came home.
I was going to stop at Bobby D’s and order BBQ for the family reunion later this month but decided not to. I have to go to Olpe tomorrow to talk to the butcher and decided I could stop on my way to Olpe.
I am tired today. I finally got some good sleep last night. I wasn’t ready to get up this morning when I got up to get ready to take my car to Cottonwood Falls. It may be an early bedtime for me tonight.
We got a bit of rain off and on today. My Tempest weather station only shows about 0.3 inches but I will take what ever rain we can get. It reached over 90 today in spite of cloud cover most of the day.
I’m fixing hot dogs for dinner tonight at Ellexia’s request. Tagen went to town so he won’t be here. It will be a quick and easy dinner to fix. I have gotten off easy cooking this week.
Tagen brought up 18 eggs today. We are still waiting for our first 24 egg day. I have four dozen eggs I need to sell if anyone needs/wants fresh farm eggs.
I’ve been a bit cranky again today. I seem to be stuck in a cranky mood lately. I was impatient on the highway today and feel some anger and frustration inside that needs to find a safe way to come out.
No big plans for the weekend. Kathy and I are going to a friend’s birthday celebration Saturday night. It will be good to have an evening out. We need to get some more loads for Michelle but not sure what the plan for that is yet.
In just a little over a month my big trip to England, Scotland and Ireland will happen. I look forward to being gone for three weeks and seeing a piece of the world that has been on my bucket list for a long time.
The family reunion is just a little over two weeks away. Time to make some definite plans for that and get a reminder letter out. I may try to get that written and ready to go tonight.
Feeling a bit restless and sad tonight. Feeling a bit cranky and out of sorts. I’m sure this too shall pass. It was a full moon week and that usually gets me. I am betting tomorrow will be a better day.
Grateful the chickens have their feed supply restocked, grateful for a wonderful conversation with a friend today, and grateful this too shall pass.
