My sleeping pill didn’t work last night. I took it at 9:00 and realized at 10:00 I was still reading and not sleeping. The pill had felt light so maybe the medicine had fallen out of it. I will try again tonight. I got some sleep but not the three to four hours straight that I am craving.
I was wide awake before 6:00 so got up and took a shower. I had a batch of apple butter in the jars by 8:30 this morning. Guess the early bird does catch the worm. Feels good to have that job done.
I went to Wal-Mart after I finished the apple butter. I needed stuff to make black bean salsa for tonight. I picked up a new case for my new iPad as the new iPad is slimmer and kept slipping too far down in the other case. I also got a keyboard so typing is easier. Not sure I am a fan of it yet but I’ll keep using it and see how I do. Picked up the ingredients for the green bean casserole for Thanksgiving dinner today. Each time I go to the store between now and Thanksgiving I will pick up a few more things off my list. Makes it seem like I spend less when I do my final shopping the Tuesday before Thanksgiving.
I was off routine this morning as I took my shower before I came out to the living room. As a result I forgot to take my thyroid pill until after I ate breakfast I will probably have a blood draw tomorrow to check my levels. Hope I didn’t mess that up.
I am so thankful tomorrow is Friday and I will find out if I need any further treatment for the thyroid cancer. I have waited three weeks to find out what this is all about and what I have to look forward to. I will come unglued if the APRN isn’t prepared with answers. Trusting she will be.
Since I was up so early I got to see the sun rise. I love the colors in the sky about an hour before the sun rises, especially in the fall. The orange and turquoise colors are magnificent. Makes me want to move to the southwest or redecorate my house using those colors.
Feel like I have done a whole days work already. It is only 10:30 and I have done what I wanted to get done today. I got my bedroom and bathroom cleaned yesterday. It was really dirty. When I have guests coming I usually run out of steam before I do my bedroom so it had been awhile since I cleaned it. Still need to do the closets but they don’t bother me so much so it may be awhile before I get to them.
Looking forward to this evening. Kathy has invited a group of women over so we can watch the sunset and drink wine. It will be a delightful evening. I love having company come over. Hope we can be outside but it depends on when the cold front comes in.
May need to use the electric blanket tonight as I don’t have a furnace. The heater repairman has to replace the burner heads. Parts were ordered yesterday but not sure when they will be in and he can get back to fix them. Might be a good weekend to run away. Grateful I had the guy come out for the annual check on the furnace and he found the problem. Propane was just going up the stack as the burner wasn’t using it correctly. Dangerous situation. Not to mention the waste of propane.
Feeling anxious. Knowing all is well. It is a beautiful morning on the prairie but change in many forms is coming. Freezing temperatures are not too far away.
