Went to Council Grove with a dear friend and had lunch. The time spent with her was a balm for my soul today. I really need to remember to do this more often. I thrive on heart-to-heart conversations with women I deeply care for and love.
The drive over to Council Grove was lovely. That is a wonderful drive through the Flint Hills and I enjoy it every time I go. Not much traffic and the open vistas are a sight for sore eyes. Spring is busting forth on the prairie. The trees are leafing out and the spring flowers are blooming.
We dodged the thunderstorm last night. There were tornadoes and huge hail to the north and east of me. Grateful to have been spared all that this time. I need the rain but sure don’t need the damage the high winds, hail and tornadoes can bring.
Haven’t gotten much done today. I woke up at 5:30 and couldn’t go back to sleep. I’m tired this afternoon so may need to take a nap. It is nice out today so probably should go clean out the garage today. It would be a good day to do that project if I can find the energy and motivation to do so.
Tomorrow I have to go to Emporia for exercise at 2:00. Not sure I have anything else to do while I am in town. Ellexia might come home with me and spend the night. We shall see if something more exciting came up for her or if she still wants to come spend the night.
No plans for the weekend. The EFIS guys should be here and hopefully finish up the project this weekend. They still have to coat all the west side and a small part of the east side. It will depend on how large the crew is if they can get done or not. The guttering guys are coming the week of March 25 so hoping the EFIS guys get done before that or I will have to postpone the guttering crew.
Feeling a bit more grounded today after having lunch with my friend. I think I came up with a solution for my problem from last night. We shall see what happens next week. Feeling better about it all though. Will give it my best shot and see what happens.
Have a bit of a headache today. Probably from lack of sleep and not eating right but the unstable weather pattern adds to it too. Gotta love KS in the spring time. Spring allergy season has arrived early on the prairie this year. Wonder if the mosquitos will arrive early too?
Tagen may be coming out Sunday to help me clean out the chicken coop one more time before I move. I told him I would fix him lunch if he would come out. We shall see if he remembers to come. I can bet what he will want me to fix to eat – chicken strips, macaroni and cheese, and a pudding dessert thing.
I am meeting with my house builder next Tuesday to see the first rendering of the house plans. I’m so excited. Hopefully the builder understood what I am looking for and will have something close to what I want. Anxious to get the house building process started and plans finalized. It will make it feel more real to see actual plans.
Things do fall into place and get resolved sooner or later. I have to keep reminding myself that time is an illusion and to not get hung up on “my time table”. Life flows better when I can let go of expectations of when and how things might unfold.
Grateful for lunch with a dear friend, grateful we dodged the thunderstorm last night, and grateful for a meeting with the house builder.
