What a beautiful afternoon on the prairie. It reached into the 80’s today and we got to see the sunshine and blue skies again. Enjoy while it lasts as it is to possibly snow on Sunday. Don’t like Kansas weather, hang around a day or two and it will change.
Second day without water. They got the pipes repaired in town but the water flow hasn’t reached my house much yet. I get a bit out of the pipes downstairs but there is not enough water pressure to have my booster pump on which means no water upstairs. Hoping by morning it will be back up and running. I could really use a shower.
I turned the well water on and was able to get water for the chickens. Not sure why I didn’t think of that yesterday. I hope the water is potable and won’t hurt the chickens. I have never had the well water tested and only use it for watering outside.
I went to Emporia this afternoon to watch Ellexia cheer for a basketball game. She got to be the flyer for the cheering squad and did a great job. She told me afterwards she was really nervous but she hid it well and I didn’t see a trace of nervousness. They did their thing twice and she nailed it both times.
I took her home afterwards. We had to stop and get her some food on the way home as she was starving. Somethings never change!
I stopped at Bruff’s and had my lunch/dinner before the game. I get a grilled chicken breast and two servings of veggies. It makes a nice change for me to eat there and I know it is on plan. The waitress remembered me from earlier in the week when I stopped.
Tomorrow I have to leave for Topeka around 11:30. I am having a sonogram on my throat done and then I have to go to a different building and have a blood draw. Both are routine, annual tests in preparation of me seeing my Endocrinologist in November. I like to have them done before my appointment so she has the results and we can talk about it in person at the appointment.
After that I am going to KC and meeting with a dear friend for coffee at 3:00. Then I am meeting up with Nicole, Geoff and Mary and having dinner before we go to Tagen’s football game. It will be a full and busy day for me. It will be good to see the people I am meeting up with.
No plans for the weekend. It is to get cold and staying home sounds good. I don’t like to be out when it is snowing and icy. Perhaps the moisture will go around us but the cold will be here, ready or not.
I have nothing on my calendar for next week. I have two or three projects I need to work on so will have lots of time to do that.
As expected, the universe offered me a chance to practice what I have been learning about boundaries. I keep reminding myself I am not responsible for their reaction. It felt good in one way yet different in my body then I am used to. This is a new feeling for me and will take me some time and practice to allow it. Finding one’s voice and then acting on it, takes practice. Grateful for the lesson and that I was able to react differently then I would have in the past.
I finished my classes on boundaries. There was one that showed me a roadmap on how to build intimacy in a relationship that is built on mutual trust and respect. I see now where I went wrong with Jim. This is good stuff and am ever so grateful I am learning it. Better late than never.
I am feeling the changes happening within my body. I feel like I am reconnecting to my body and the signals it gives me in a new way. When my nervous system got stuck on fight or flight, I couldn’t feel my body giving me signals. It feels like I have come back home to my body again.
Grateful for the opportunity to practice one of my lessons on boundaries, grateful to get to watch Ellexia perform this afternoon, and grateful water will be here soon!
