I went to Emporia this afternoon to watch Ellexia cheer. She looked more relaxed and confident today. It makes me nervous to watch her fly but she loves it. One of the players on the team had an ankle injury. They were taking her in for X-rays. Always hate to see that happen.
I took Ellexia home afterwards so got to spend a hot minute with her. I sure miss seeing the kiddos daily and feel like I don’t know what is happening with them now. I am out of sight – out of mind!
It is a beautiful day on the prairie. I put a coat on to do the chickens but really didn’t need one. It is windy though. Loving the bright blue, clear skies and warmer temperatures. It is to be even warmer the next couple of days.
Nothing on my calendar for tomorrow. I do need to gather up the supplies for the Health Fair we are doing Saturday morning. I will get my car loaded up so I don’t have to remember anything but me Saturday morning. We have to be there at 7:00 to get set up for the 7:30 opening. Man, that is early!
Got a note from the coordinator and she let us know that we have to take drawing paper and pens and a basket for people to put them in. I’m glad she told us as I had assumed they were handling that. Still need to put together our drawing prize.
I’m going to have to figure out when and what to eat Saturday. I usually don’t have breakfast until between 10 and 11. Since I am getting up so early I know I will be hungry before then. Guess I will pack my breakfast and take it with me. I can have lunch when I get home.
I’m still fasting between 16 – 20 hours a day. I really don’t get hungry often and I like the convenience of only fixing two meals a day. Seems to have simplified my life.
Got my rent check from my renter in Cottonwood Falls. I meant to check the mailbox on the way to town so I could deposit it while I was in town this afternoon. I forgot to get it. Now I get to go back to town tomorrow or else I will wait and deposit it Sunday when I go to KC. Dang it anyways. I swear my memory isn’t what it used to be these days.
This last week or so has been a bit tougher for me then I anticipated it might be. It has been a year since Jim left the house and divorce proceedings began. I have found myself ruminating about that time and have struggle to let go of it. And this too shall pass….. Looking back I know I did what I had to do to take care of myself. I had fallen down the rabbit hole so far I didn’t know what was reality anymore.
Today is the birthday of Nicole’s first husband. These are always bittersweet days for her – and for us. Grateful for the wonderful memories we have of him and grateful we were part of his life.
Anyone know of a place where I can donate some fresh eggs? They are piling up and I need to move them out.
Excited I get to see all my kids together Sunday. It will be a hard day as we are joining Craig’s family to celebrate the life of his brother Joe. We will make the best of it and enjoy our time together. I need to remember to find a date and time for our Thanksgiving and Christmas while we are all together. It seems to get harder every year to find a time that works for most.
Grateful to see Ellexia cheer today, grateful for the wonderful memories I have of Chris, and grateful for my healing journey.
