Had a nice quick trip to KC yesterday. Nicole and I went to Costco together and then spent some time planning a trip in May to three different cities in Italy, Paris, France and Barcelona, Spain. We will be gone 16 days. This is a tourist trip with no specific agenda. Spring time in Paris! Oh my!
Went into Emporia this morning to get groceries. Got two 52 pound sacks of dog food and a 30 pound sack of cat food so got my weight lifting done for the day. Also got myself some groceries for the week. I mainly shop the produce section these days. I forgot lettuce for my chickens so will have to stop on my way home from babysitting the kiddos to pick some up. I had it on my list and forgot to check my list.
Lat night we ate at Jose Peppers. I ordered a salad that had grilled chicken on it and had them leave other stuff off. Also ordered a bowl of fresh grilled veggies. Wish I had taken my scale so I knew for sure my portions were OK but I guessed the best I could. Didn’t finish either dish but was satisfied so stopped eating.
I will go back into town late afternoon as I am babysitting grandkids tonight. Not sure what the plans are for dinner so will take my dinner with me. I may take the kiddos out for dinner but where they like to eat is sometimes hard to find food I can eat.
I have the doors open letting in fresh air today. It is nice to get the house aired out. It is a bit windy today but it feels so good to have fresh air. I remembered to call the door guy I use. The door leading from the garage to the house is hard to get closed and needs adjusted. I also want him to hang the screen doors for the sliding doors downstairs. I have the screen doors; they just have never been hung. When I had him add the screen doors upstairs I didn’t bother doing the downstairs ones as I wasn’t downstairs much. With Kathy down there now I think she will enjoy being able to have the doors open without bugs coming in.
I raised the heat lamp in the pen for the baby chickens again. They are three weeks old now. They are starting to enter the ugly duckling stage as they have outgrown their baby feathers and their big feathers are too short for them. Pretty sure one is a rooster and one a hen as the rooster is almost twice as big as the other one already. Not sure I need two roosters. Five more weeks and I can put them outside with the others and see what happens.
Gave all three dogs their HeartGuard today. I even managed to get Roxy to eat hers. The other two dogs eat anything and everything but Roxy is picky. Today is her second birthday so I gave them all a treat to celebrate. Roxy is the queen of the three girls. What she says is the law of the land! She is a touch moody and the other two have learned to avoid her when she is in one of her moods. They sure seem happier with their shock collars on. They aren’t near as crazy around people now.
I heard from one of the teachers of the students that did my reading Tuesday night. They offered me a free session to make up for the one the students had done. Not sure if I am going to take advantage of it or not. Nice of them to offer though.
What a glorious spring day. It is to get up in the 70’s with a touch of wind. The only thing that could make this day better is a couple of inches of rain. I got another early morning text alert telling me my house is in a high fire danger zone,
Spring Solstice is next week. Hard to believe we are at the halfway point of the light returning. Time to let our inner light shine and embrace our life’s purpose and mission. The universe really works to support us during this time of light! Shine on!
Grateful for fresh air blowing into my house today, grateful for an upcoming trip with Nicole, and grateful I get to see my grandkids tonight.
