I had trouble going to sleep last night so I took a NyQuil around 4:00. I slept until noon or after today and then had to take a nap this afternoon. I cut the package in two and only took one tablet. Wonder if I would have gotten out of bed today if I had taken both of them. I finally feel like my hangover is gone. Needless to say, I didn’t get much done today. It is a good thing I don’t drink as I don’t think I would make a good drunk – I would just fall over and sleep if I got drunk.
I took 11 calls last night on the hot line. A couple of them were tough calls. Two of them will stick with me for a bit as I’m not sure how much help I was or if there is a solution for them. Both seemed calmer at the end of the call and told me they could get through the night. That is all I can ask for some times. Wish I had a magic wand and could grant grace and ease to some of the callers. I was wiped out at the end of my shift. I had gotten on early and stayed on a bit late to finish up the last call. I felt guilty when I got off as there were over 75 people waiting to be chatted with. I just didn’t have it in me to handle another call. I have another shift tonight.
I did a bit of knitting today. I’ll have to check it and make sure I didn’t drop a stitch as I was tired when I was knitting.
I was going to fix a pot roast for dinner but didn’t get up in time to put it in the crock pot. I’ll fix it tomorrow night. Jim is delighted he gets to doctor up a frozen pizza for dinner. He is a good sport when plans have to change.
The full moon is beautiful tonight. It was too cloudy on the horizon to watch it rise but it is shining brightly on the prairie now. I love winter nights when the moon is shining. The very light covering we had of snow melted today.
Got 19 eggs from the eggs today. I had two double yolk eggs for breakfast and I think there was another double yolk egg in the egg basket. I am like a child when I get a double yolk egg – they make me smile every time I see one.
A friend is coming over tomorrow to pick up two dozen eggs. When she asked me if we were free I told her I would check our social calendar. I checked and it is empty for tomorrow – and for most of the month and year after that. Not much on the calendar these days for sure.
Tax forms are starting to come in the mail. Still waiting on a few more and then I can get that project finished up. I need to remember to prompt Jim for the numbers I need from him. He is usually a April 15th filer.
Nothing on the agenda for the weekend. Jim is going to Stillwater next Tuesday for an eye doctor appointment and to exchange cars and bring another load up. He has a physical with our new doctor in Emporia next Thursday. Other than the normal things I don’t have anything special on the calendar next week. At least it will be February next week and Spring is only six or seven weeks away.
Grateful for NyQuil and sleep, grateful for frozen pizzas when Plan A for dinner fails, and grateful for the beauty of a full moon on the prairie tonight.
