There was a beautiful sunrise this morning. It was shades of red and gray. I thought it would be a cloudy day later and I was right. The wind is picking up and the temperature is starting to drop. Rain is in the forecast for tomorrow and snow on Saturday. Guess it is winter time – I was confused for a bit and thought we had jumped right to spring.
Got the storage room cleaned out last night. I must have brought up six loads of stuff to donate. My little car was packed full when I took it in to Goodwill this afternoon. Feels good to have that load of stuff out of the house. I may find some more stuff now that I can get to it. When I get the beds out of there I will do some more sorting and tossing.
I was equally loaded coming home as I stopped at Bluestem and got 200 # of chicken feed, 100 # of dog food, and 200 # of water softener salt. I was riding low coming home. I also stopped at Wal-Mart and got a few groceries. Trying to get everything I need so I can be gone most of next week.
I also worked on the furnace room and got it straightened out a bit. I still have some work to do in that room. I listed the full twin set and the twin set of mattress and box springs on Facebook. So far one person may be interested in the full twin set. It would be nice to get those pieces out of the storage room so I can get to my yarn.
Gave the dogs their HeartGuard and charged their collars today. The collar that wouldn’t charge two weeks ago charged today. Not sure what the deal is but am grateful it charged today. Those collars have worked well up until a month or so ago when two of the three got out of the border and went for a short trip in the pasture across the street. Never did figure out how that happened. They have been sticking close the last couple of days.
I have my first meeting to learn what I have volunteered for this evening at 5:30. It will be one of those days that I make two trips to Emporia in the same day. I try not to let that happen but decided to get the car unloaded and the critter food home before dark. Trying to decide if I want to eat dinner before I go or eat when I get home.
My Marine and his wife and her daughter will be here later this evening. Not sure if I will be home before they get here or not. It will be so good to see them again. They are staying until Saturday so we will have all day tomorrow to visit and catch up.
Thought about running to KC tomorrow so I could go to Costco but decided I will be going right by one on my way home next Friday and I can stop then. No use driving miles when it isn’t absolutely necessary.
Still sitting in my peaceful valley. It felt good to lift the feed sacks today on to the cart and then out of the car. I got help getting them off the cart and into the car. I am looking forward to getting stronger so that job is easy. Got my first work out in today lifting 500 pounds of stuff. Yesterday I did six trips up and down the basement stairs. Guess I am off and running!
Grateful for the beautiful sunrise this morning, grateful for getting the storage room and furnace room straightened out, and grateful for the dog collar working correctly again even though I don’t understand why it started working again.
