Remembering with much love my son-in-law Chris who transitioned on this day three years ago. He taught me one never knows how much time one has left and I need to make the most of everyday I have as I don’t have the promise of a tomorrow.
The kids came out for a nice dinner last night. Tagen wasn’t feeling very good but Ellexia was a ball of energy. It was nice to see them and spend a bit of time with them before I leave again for three weeks.
I had made a list of things I wanted to take to Oklahoma with me and have been gathering stuff up. I have almost finishing packing. The car is going to be fully packed. I have another doctor’s appointment in three weeks so will be back for a few days in case I forgot something.
I worked on finishing up my tax prep work. Have almost all of it done now. Just waiting on a few last December bills to come in so I can record those amounts. Next time I am home I hope the tax prep packet will be ready and I can get it to enter in all the data my accountant needs to do my taxes.
Baked Jim a batch of cookies this morning so he will have cookies for the next three weeks. My kitchen here is easier for me to bake in than his is. I have more counter space. Ran out of Crisco and oatmeal so only could do a single batch.
Did three loads of laundry today. Need to do a bit of cleaning and than will be ready to leave again for three weeks tomorrow.
Got the results of my blood thyroid level back. It is 2.8 which is right where it should be. MD Anderson recommended I keep it between 2.0 and 2.5 but the doctor in Topeka wants it closer to 3.0 for heart health protection. I will have it checked again in May when I go see my Endocrinologist for my annual visit.
My foot is hurting today. It is a bit more swollen this morning than it has been. I have been trying to stay off of it more today and give it some TLC. I’m sure I overdid it a bit yesterday.
It is almost 50 degrees out today! The moon was so pretty on the remaining snow last night. I saw the sunrise again this morning and it was spectacular. I love the colors in the sky during this time of year.
Winter Solstice is Saturday. I am ready for the light to start to return and for the days to get longer each day. I did some deep inner work this season and feel ready to get refilled with light and love.
Grateful for the live of Chris and the lessons and love he taught me, grateful for good blood test results, and grateful to be almost ready to leave again for three weeks.
