This has been another lazy day. I didn’t do much at all today. Low energy and low motivation. Guess if there had been something that had to gotten done I might have done it but couldn’t think of anything that had to be done so I did nothing.
We had a thunderstorm come through around 4:30 or 5:00 this morning. There was a crack of thunder that sounded like it was right in the house. I wasn’t sleeping soundly anyways but that jolted me up for good. I never did go back to sleep. Was nice to get a touch of rain. It didn’t last long but I appreciated every drop we got.
With Kathy back home I only got in a little over 4,000 steps today. She walks the dogs too. I did take a walk this morning without the dogs which was nice. I had almost forgotten how much I enjoy walking when I don’t have a dog with me. It got too hot to walk this afternoon – we were back in the 90’s today. This heat wave is to break this weekend and next week will be more fall like temperatures.
Tomorrow I have to go to Emporia for exercise at 2:00. I have a list of things I need to get after I am done with exercise. Saturday I am going to the ESU football game as my extended family is being honored as the Heritage Family of the Year for ESU. It will be fun to spend some time with cousins. Sunday we are doing our Fall Equinox Ceremony in the afternoon so it will be a busy weekend for me.
Next Tuesday I am getting my flu shot and Covid vaccine. I timed it for that day as I have nothing on my calendar the following two days in case I need a day or two to recover. Last year the flu shot didn’t affect me but the Covid vaccine knocked me out for a day.
I am thinking about going to Colorado for three days the following week. I want to go hear the elk bellowing in the mountains and see the aspen trees turn gold. I have a doctor’s appointment on the 3rd and possibly jury duty on the 4th so I would have to be home for those appointments. I think I could sneak away the 29th and come home the 2nd. It would be a quick trip but hearing the elk is on my bucket list. I would have to find a house sitter as I think Kathy wants to go with me. I’ll see if I can make it work. Anyone else want to ride along with us?
These two rest days have been good for my soul. I still forget to give my self permission to rest. One of the habits I have had the most trouble breaking is the mind game of productivity over being. I still have to remind myself being is enough.
Grateful for another rest day, grateful for the little bit of rain we received this morning, and grateful this heat wave is to break soon.
