Ellexia was feeling much better today so she went back to school. She has gymnastics tonight but am not sure I will let her go. I’ll see how tired she is. Gymnastics lasts for 90 minutes which seems like a lot for a tired little one.
After I took Ellexia to school I came out to my house and have spent the day there. It has been nice to be home for a bit. Baked a batch of chocolate chip cookies for the kiddos. Did the chores and let the cats go outside for a while. It is a beautiful day on the prairie today with temperatures in the mid 50’s. A cold front with snow is coming in tonight. I have a bad case of spring fever and am ready for the winter to be done.
I’ll go back into town this afternoon. I have to pick Ellexia up from school at 3:09. Tagen is riding the bus home. They have requested spaghetti and meatballs for dinner. That will be easy to make and they both usually eat it fairly well. One more night and then tomorrow their parents return and I can return to my normally scheduled life. It has been fun taking care of them but I am ready to go back home and get back to normal.
Saturday I have a morning shift of doing taxes and then I will have the rest of the weekend free. Next week I have to go to the Endocrinologist in Topeka on Tuesday for my regular appointment with her. I have a few things I need to shop for if the weather will permit. It is to snow again on Tuesday.
I have tracked lots of mud into my house from doing chores. Thinking I will wait and clean till next week. More moisture is headed my way and no use cleaning it up and then tracking it back up.
Saturday when I finish my tax shift I need to buy some groceries. I don’t have much food in the house. I am doing better at getting back on track with my eating. I haven’t been home to weigh first thing in the morning so am not sure where I am with my weight. My pants still fit so thinking I am OK. I feel better eating foods that fuel my body correctly. Glad I was able to climb back on the wagon and stay free of flour and sugar. I learned my willpower really drops when I am out of my normal routine and when I don’t feel good. I haven’t learned what food comforts me when I am sick as this is the first time I have been sick since I started eating Bright Lines Way. Peanut butter sure tasted good but have found it is a trigger for me and makes me crave food I no longer eat.
Still sitting in my peaceful valley. Have been a bit teary lately. Not sure what’s up with that. Allowing it to be what it is. Missing my Match guy. He is coming up the end of next week for two nights. It will be good to see him again. I kinda liked when we saw each other every other week better than waiting three weeks between visits. We both have been busy and couldn’t find a couple of days that both of us were free. He is teaching three Osher classes that take lots of time to prepare for. I have been doing my tax thing as well as caring for the grandkids.
Grateful for this day at home on the beautiful prairie, grateful Ellexia is feeling better, and grateful my normal life will resume tomorrow evening.
