I put a request on Facebook yesterday for egg cartons. A sweet young lady from Strong City drove out to my house last night to bring me three cartons. Today I went into Emporia and a nice lady that is allergic to eggs gave me over a dozen cartons. She had been at the recycling center and noticed they had a stack of egg cartons. She had picked them up as she thought someone could use them. A friend gave me over two dozen cartons in exchange for two dozen eggs. I have another friend from Cottonwood Falls that has some for me I am going to pick up this afternoon. Thanks Facebook. That problem is solved for a bit. I can always use more egg cartons so my offer of a dozen eggs in exchange for a dozen egg cartons is an ongoing offer. Let me know if you want to barter! I use at least one carton a day so I go through them fast.
Yesterday afternoon I got restless and felt uneasy. I finally rode my stationary bike for 30 minutes. Kathy went for a long walk and when she came in we talked about my feelings. Come to find out she had felt the same thing. I put a post on Facebook and found out others had the same thing going on. This is the first time I have gotten confirmation that the restlessness I get from time to time is a universe thing and not my stuff. Wow! That changes my perspective on my restlessness. I think I knew this before but didn’t fully accept it until now. Now to remember this the next time it hits and to figure out a way to let it pass through without dragging me down. It did help to move my body to help it pass.
This afternoon Kathy and I are going to the new fitness center in Cottonwood Falls to check it out. They have a summer special for Seniors. It is only $60 plus tax for a three-month membership. I need to make my core stronger and build strength in my legs and arms. Since the Center is open 24/7 I can go when ever I want to work out. It is only 10 minutes away. I have tried gyms before and have never stuck with one long enough to get results. On my 70 things to do before I turn 70 list is to be able to lift a 50 pound sack of chicken feed easily. Maybe this will help me get there. That list is really helping me decide how I want to spend my time.
Just heard that the House passed the Affordable Care Act Repeal. This makes me very sad. I know the ACA had issues and needed fixed but from what I have read I think the replacement takes us even farther from what we need. Sure hope Medicare is available when I turn 65 next year. Our political system is much more broke than the Affordable Care Act. This one upmanship shit needs to stop! I guess it is true that money talks. I’m in favor of making medicine non-profit and more like they have in Canada. We have a system that encourages people to get sick and stay sick so the stock holders can make more money.
What a beautiful day today. A tad windy but almost 70 degrees and bright blue skies. My yard will dry out nicely with this wind. Guess I will be mowing tomorrow.
Kathy cleaned my garage for me! What a blessing she is!
I had lunch while I was in town today at Bruff’s. I ordered my normal veggie burger. It was as hard as a hockey puck. I had to send it back as I was afraid I would break a tooth trying to eat it. I rarely send food back. Every kitchen can have a bad day but I was hungry today and couldn’t eat what they sent out. They had given me regular fries instead of sweet potato fries too. The waitress handled it very nicely. The replacement meal had sweet potato fries and the veggie burger was much softer.
My egg carton supply has been restocked. On my way to crossing off another item on my 70 list. My garage got magically cleaned. It is a good day on the prairie today. All is well.
