I accomplished my goal of doing nothing productive today. I was up before 7:00 as the pest guy was to come take care of my wood bee problem. He came but it was raining and he couldn’t do the work. He will be back next week.

I didn’t fall asleep last night until almost 3:00 this morning and woke up after three hours of sleep.

I tried to go back to sleep but couldn’t so I got up. A friend came over and got two dozen eggs this morning and we enjoyed a nice visit. I folded two loads of laundry and unloaded and loaded the dishwasher. Around 1:00 I realized I was tired so went back to bed and slept for three hours.

I walked down to bring up the trash cans and get the mail after I fixed dinner. Other than that I haven’t done anything today! It felt good to take a completely lazy day.

My friends from CA I met on the Camino FaceTime me today. It is always a good day when I get to talk to Carolyn and Tom.

I still have my pajamas on. I put on a pair of jeans to go outside but never did get dressed for the day.

Some showers came through during the night. We got about a half of an inch of rain. Broke down and turned the A/C on as it was 87 in the house. I was hoping it would help me sleep better. It is to cool off for the next couple of days so will probably turn it back off after my intern leaves tomorrow.

Got reminders from the vet that the cats and Roxy are due for their annual visits the middle of July. I’ll have to remember to take them in when I get home from CO and before I have my bunion surgery August 7.

I don’t have anything on my calendar for tomorrow. Hoping I won’t take another lazy day but I might. My inner energy level was rather low and needed lots of empty space so I could refill. Next week I start getting busy on Wednesday and won’t have any more empty space days until the following Wednesday. I will have one free day and then I am going to OK for the weekend and the following week I fly out to Maine on Tuesday for a week.

I want to try to use the new weed eater tomorrow and see how I get along with it. I think it had an instructional CD with it so may watch that tonight. I need to go get my gas cans filled up so I have enough gas to mow again.

Feeling a bit down today. Might be from being alone again. It hits me hard for the first couple days after being with Jim and then going back to being alone. I appreciate the quiet space though and know I need that to refill. We are figuring out how to give each other space while we are together but we aren’t there yet. It is getting easier when we are together to do what each needs to do alone. We enjoy each other so much it is hard not to take advantage of the time we are together by staying together all of the time.

Grateful for a lazy day which included taking a long nap, grateful for A/C that cooled my house down last night, and grateful for empty space that refills my soul.
