I was rudely woken up this morning having to go to the bathroom. I spent the next 45 minutes laying down, getting up and going again, rinse and repeat. Around 6:30 I took some Imodium and things slowed down enough that I could go back to sleep. Had another couple episodes today but manageable. For a hot minute I thought C-Diff was back but I don’t think so at this point.
Went to Emporia this afternoon to pick up a few groceries. A friend needed a prescription picked up so got that and had lunch, got my groceries and came home. It was a quick trip to town.
The social worker from the KU Memory Unit zoomed with us this afternoon. She was kind and it was a good conversation. Not much has changed since Kathy got her diagnosis and neither one of us feels like we need extra support at this point. However, it is nice to know that it is there when and if we begin to need it.
Phil got the dryer vent moved. Somehow it is now coming from under the house to the side of the house. He does amazing work and does it quickly. Unfortunately it rained again today and the forecast is showing rain for most of next week so thinking we are on a rain delay. I think the next step is the foundation and that can’t happen until the weather cooperates. It will get done when it gets done. It will be another lesson for me on universe time and not mine.
Sent a note to the Captain of the Detention Center requesting permission to do the gift card thing for Christmas. I also asked permission for people to send cards to the Detainees for Christmas. We shall see what he says. If he vetoes these ideas I will have to think of something else.
Scheduled my flu and Covid vaccines for the 29th of September. There are rumors floating around that Medicare may not cover the Covid vaccines after the end of this month. I needed both anyways so decided to go ahead and get them done. I have a couple of free days after that so can recover if I have a reaction.
No plans for the weekend. Tomorrow I do need to call an insurance company and figure out if the policy got transferred to the funeral home properly. Kathy got an invoice and so I am wondering if it got handled properly.
This run of empty space I have had this month has felt comforting. My soul needed a respite. The world energy keeps ramping up. There is a tug-of-war happening and it is easy to get caught up in it. I have to remind myself several times a day to stay grounded in love. When I read the news it is easy to dip into fear. That feels like that is the goal these days. Once one falls into fear your brain acts differently and it is hard to be logical and not fall into fight or flight.
Grateful for the social worker that called today, grateful I have felt a bit better this afternoon, and grateful the dryer is working again.
