Went to Manhattan today to visit two dear friends. Left at 10:00 this morning. I stopped at a store in Council Grove to get a new egg skillet but they didn’t carry what I was looking for. Drove on to Manhattan and went to Bed, Bath and Beyond and found what I was looking for.
My friend and I went out for lunch. I ate from the salad bar that had kidney beans, chopped eggs, and cottage cheese for protein. Probably ate too much protein and didn’t get enough veggies. I was satisfied and didn’t get hungry until dinner time. When I eat out I do the best I can and then let it go.
Stopped at JC Penney’s on the way home to get another pair of jeans. The rest of the drive home went smoothly but seemed to take a long time this afternoon. The ride up went fast. Nothing different – just my perspective of time was different.
Did chores when I got home. My girls gave me 16 eggs today. I was surprised there were that many as it is a cloudy, cold day on the prairie. Only got to 45 degrees today. I am so ready for spring to return.
I am really tired this evening. I didn’t sleep very good last night. Finally took something around 2:30 and was able to sleep then. How did I ever manage to function on three hours of sleep most nights? Betting my lights will be out shortly after the sun goes down tonight – if I can stay awake until then.
No plans for the weekend. Still need to get downstairs cleaned and am running out of time to get that project done as Kathy and her friend will be home no later than Wednesday. I half expect them to roll in Tuesday night. Maybe if I get those rooms cleaned I will get inspired to do some cleaning upstairs too. Then again, maybe not!
Almost done knitting the throw. Only have 10 more rows and then the bind off row to go. Still need to figure out how to do the side border and will need to cut and add the fringe edges. Lots of little ends to weave in too.
The sun is to return from its long vacation tomorrow and the high will be 61. Yeah! I am so ready for a sunny day. Trusting I will get the chicken coop cleaned out tomorrow if the wind isn’t too bad.
Need to do some banking business tomorrow. I have a CD that is up for renewal and need to decide what to do. I am not good at knowing what to do with things like that. I tend to ignore them and just let them auto renew.
In another month or so I will need to look at my Medicare options and get signed up as I turn 65 in August. I am getting solicited by mail almost daily. Someone must make money off of selling Medicare plans. I have looked at the process and what some of my options are but have trouble knowing what choice is the best. At times like this I need a crystal ball that will tell me how much I am going to be accessing medical care.
Grateful to have a couple of days full of empty space ahead of me, grateful to have had a nice visit with my friends in Manhattan today, and grateful I can go to bed as early as I want to tonight!
