Starting to feel better this afternoon. I had to run to the bathroom four times this morning but haven’t gone since. Maybe things are finally slowing down.
We cancelled going to Stillwater tomorrow. Jim didn’t want me to be that far away from my doctors in case this turns ugly. I hated to tell my house sitter as she was so looking forward to coming to the prairie to stay. She sent me the sweetest note and offered to come another time when we want to get away.
I didn’t sleep very well last night. I tried to take a nap after Jim’s class was over but couldn’t sleep. Finally got an hour of sleep later this afternoon. When I woke up it felt like someone had flipped a switch in me and I felt the best I have for several weeks. I even had some scrambled eggs for dinner as food sounded good.
Jim taught his last class this morning. He didn’t need my help at all for it today. He isn’t sure teaching on Zoom is too fun though. He missed the personal interaction with the students. He got a sense of what it must be like for our teachers that are having to teach on-line right now. Giving information is one part of teaching but the most rewarding part is the personal interaction with your students.
Now that we are staying home next week I will need to find a project to work on. I had been wrapping things up and winding things down to be gone. Not sure what I will decide to work on although cleaning my house is at the top of my list. I have been licking and promising to clean it good for several weeks. It needs more than that right now. With the rain we got the dust will be settled for a bit so I can clean and it has a chance of staying clean for a bit.
I walked down this morning to let the chickens out. It warmed up to 50 this afternoon. I noticed they were out in the yard off and on during the day. They are getting so big they take up lots of room in their little coop. I bet it feels good to them to be able to run around and flap their wings, I am about four to six weeks away from having eggs unless the cold weather delayed them.
It was so nice to see the sun this afternoon. I so miss it when it goes on vacation. I looked out the east windows and saw the almost full moon. Saturday is a Blue Moon as it is the second full moon of October.
I got a text from Aunt Glenda last night. Her son had gotten her an iPhone and she joined the texting world. I wrote back and told her I was proud of her. I think she will like texting when she gets used to it. I resisted texting for the longest time and now would really miss it if I couldn’t text.
What a difference a day makes. I was so discouraged yesterday I was ready to throw in the towel. This evening I feel like I am on the mend and back in the land of the living. I am not sure if this is for real and how long it will last but I am going to relish every moment of it. It feels good to feel good!
Grateful I am feeling good right here, right now, grateful for the sunshine this afternoon, and grateful for my sweet house sitter and her understanding.
