The wind is driving me to drink this afternoon. It has been gusting over 40 MPH all day. There is a major cold front that is coming in but right now the temperatures are over 80 degrees. I am as restless as a cat on a hot tin roof.
Jim taught his Zoom class today. He didn’t need any help from me today. He has one more class next week and then this class will be done.
I baked Snickerdoodle cookies this morning while he was teaching his class. I need to bake a batch of chocolate chip cookies to take to the grandkids tomorrow. I will do that later tonight or in the morning.
I have to go to town tomorrow afternoon for my appointment with the Dermatologist and will drop off the cookies when I go to town.
I put some more straw down in the chicken coop today to help the girls stay a bit warmer when the cold hits tonight. We are to get a hard freeze this weekend. I fixed the heat lamp so it is over the water container and plugged the water container in. I need to remember to plug in the heated dog water bowl tonight.
Not sure I am ready for winter temperatures. Seems like fall didn’t last very long this year. Maybe we will get some warmer weather in another week or two. In KS you never know what might come our way.
I tried to take a nap this afternoon but couldn’t sleep. I am too restless for that. All I want to do is eat yet I am not really hungry. I can’t seem to sit still for long.
Jim has been tracking the wildfires in CO. Estes Park is his favorite place in the world. Evacuation orders were given this morning for the Y Camp and the whole town of Estes Park. It is so scary and sad to watch the damage that is being done by the fire. They are having wind like we are today and the fire is growing leaps and bounds. I can’t imagine how devastating it has been and will continue to be.
We had a nice birthday dinner for Jim last night. My grill wouldn’t stay lit so I fixed the steaks in the cast iron skillet. I thought they were a little too done but Jim really enjoyed them. I like mine rare to medium rare and they were more like medium done. I hadn’t used a cast iron skillet to grill a steak before.
My plans for the weekend are to stay warm. We don’t have any place we need to go or anything that has to get done. I might dig out a puzzle and work on that. Maybe if the wind slows down I can do some house cleaning and get rid of the dust that has blown in the last couple of days and weeks. Sure wish we would get some moisture so the dust would settle down.
I’m feeling a bit better today although I have gone five times so far today. Feeling drained and a bit dehydrated. Hoping the antibiotics kick in soon and quiet the C Diff down again. I would like to avoid the ER this time if possible.
I am pleasantly surprised that my ass didn’t get sore from the two shots. If I rub where the shot was given I can feel a knot but the muscle around it didn’t get sore. I was warned I would get sore. Thankful that didn’t happen.
I need to find a project to work on. I haven’t had the energy to do so but need to line something up so when I do feel like working on something I have something to do. I am still missing making masks but that isn’t what I want to be doing right now. Maybe I will go down and get the store room cleaned out and get rid of some things. I like how that feels when I get rid of things.
Grateful the wind is to slow down later today, grateful for a warm house when it gets cold outside, and grateful Jim had a nice birthday.
I miss you!
