I forgot to take a sleeping pill last night. I thought about it around midnight but decided it was too late to take it then. I don’t think I slept more than an hour all night. Sure makes for a long night and then a long day the next day when that happens.
Grateful I had some friends come visit me today. Made the day go by much faster. We had lunch at the new Cafe in Strong City. What I had wasn’t very good but the other two had the same thing and they thought it was very good. Maybe I got the bad piece of meat. We had a nice time visiting anyways.
Did some bookkeeping this morning. I pulled 2016 records to put in storage and cleaned out files. Worked on some tax prep stuff so it will be easy when I pull information to take to my accountant in February. I always feel a great sense of satisfaction when my files are better organized and I can easily find what I am looking for. When I did the stores books that was a big job but since I just have the three little companies it doesn’t take long to clean out my files.
Did some purging of old stuff I had held on to. Not sure why I had held on to some of it. I always like throwing stuff away. Don’t have much anymore to throw away.
Need to get down to the big barn and see what I can throw away down there. Every year I get to throw away another year of old McDonald’s files. We have to hold them for seven years so only the last three years of records left now. Every year I clear off another storage rack of records. They fill the back of a pickup when I take them to the dump.
I went downstairs and brought up a tote of shawl and blanket yarn in case the urge hits for me to knit. It is a better use of my time than playing computer games. My goal is to get several totes full of yarn knitted up this winter. I can go through a lot of yarn in a short amount of time if I go at it.
It is another perfect fall day on the prairie today. No wind today. Just a light breeze blowing through the house. Bright blue skies with birds and chickens talking. I haven’t gotten down to my girls yet today with their noon greens. They are probably yelling for me by now as I am several hours late with their treats.
Sure is nice to finally be feeling better. My energy level climbs more each and every day, in spite of no sleep. I didn’t realize how low I had gone. I think I had forgotten how good I really am supposed to feel. Still have a way to climb and I need to build back my endurance. Gets easier everyday!
The Newsletter didn’t get printed yet. Not sure when it might get done. Hoping it will be done sometime tomorrow so I can get it in the mail Saturday. Don’t have any plans so guess it really doesn’t matter.
Grateful for friends! Loving this weather. All is well on the prairie today!
