Had trouble finding sleep again last night. I’m getting kinda tired of this. It makes for a long day after a night of little sleep,
I did manage to get two tasks on my to-do list done today. That is all I have gotten done today but it felt good to get those done.
After I took my morning pills this morning it felt like one of the pills had gotten stuck in my esophagus. It is slowly going down but occasionally I get a sharp pain that radiates from where it feels like the pill is. Ouch! I looked it up and there is a medical name for it. It can take hours to several days for it to pass. Yikes! This is not very comfortable and I trust it will move on down very soon.
Still haven’t gotten the contract that I need to sign. I know it is finished but the lady that sends the document sign things out had to miss work this morning. I was told to expect it this afternoon. Maybe it will still come today – we shall see.
Still need to do my exercises for the day. They only take 12 – 15 minutes so won’t take long to do. I’ll go down in a bit and take care of the chickens and get the mail and then come in and do them.
My body feels like it is stuck in fight or flight mode this afternoon. I have this urgency feeling that there is something important that needs to be done NOW but there isn’t anything. And this too shall pass! It has been a crazy couple of weeks around here and I think I need some down time to process it all and allow whatever feelings I have to come up and be released.
I tried to take a nap this afternoon and managed to sleep for a little bit but struggled to stay asleep. I sure wish I knew why sleep is so hard to find sometimes.
The wind has finally calmed down today. It was blowing like crazy for a bit last night. We have a chance for some snow showers tomorrow morning and then it is going to warm up for next week. February has been very mild after such a tough January. Here is to hoping that March will be mild too.
Tomorrow I have to go to Emporia for exercise at 2:15. Should be able to stay home all weekend. I haven’t gotten any groceries this week but not sure I need any. I’ll check before I go to town tomorrow so if I do need a few things I can get them and not have to go back to town. So far next week looks to be a quiet week except for three trips to town for exercise and two trips to town for tax prep.
Going to town three days a week for exercise feels like a lot to me. I think it is compounded by doing taxes right now too. I used to only go to town twice a week so making five trips to town in one week feels like overload. I’m sure I will get used to it sooner or later and tax season only lasts till early April. I am reminded how habitual of a person I am and any time I break my “normal” pattern, I feel it in my body.
Grateful for a day at home to refill, grateful the wind has calmed down, and grateful I have gained awareness of my body so I understand what it needs.
