Spring has returned to the prairie! High in the 60’s forecast for this afternoon. Bright blue skies but some wind to go with them. Got a fire warning text this morning.
Went into Emporia this morning to run some errands. Got a letter from the KS Dept of Revenue regarding my KS income tax return so dropped that off at my accountant’s office. Went to the library book sale. Could only find two sacks full of books to buy. Glad I went today and didn’t wait until tomorrow as they were pretty picked over already. Bought an end table for my new library space. I converted it to a library instead of a healing treatment room so my guests can have a private space to sit and visit. The table fit into the back of my car but I will have to wait until Kathy gets home to get it into the house so she can help me carry it. Went to Walmart and got groceries. I had oven roasted a big tray of vegetables the other day and they were so good I wanted to get some more veggies to roast.
Kathy and Bow went to Wamego to the Wizard of Oz Museum today. They invited me to go with them but I felt like I needed a quiet day at home. Now that my errands are done I can stay home and enjoy the peace and quiet.
Took a nap yesterday and as a result I got very little sleep last night. I am really tired today but am going to do my best to stay awake and not get a nap cycle started. I so enjoyed the two weeks or so when I was actually sleeping. Not sure why sleep is so hard for me. Feel a bit weak today for some reason and kept getting hot while I was running errands. I am cold more than hot these days so not sure what is up with that. My body is changing and I struggle to keep up with the changes sometimes. Maybe it is the bi-polar weather that has my body confused.
Managed one of two phone calls I needed to make. Still need to contact Airbnb with some questions I have. Need to do some research on one of my questions before I call them. The office I need to call to do the research is open this afternoon so may go and see if someone can help answer my questions.
Sure wish I could go out and mow this week. Not sure it is worth the gas to do so though as my yard hasn’t started growing much yet. It is still too dry for the grass to grow. Mowing it would clean it up a bit though. The rancher hasn’t been able to burn my outer yard yet and not sure he is going to this year. I will need to find out if I should mow it or just leave the tall grass alone. Not sure how long it would take me to mow 20 acres. There are a lot of hidden rocks in it so it isn’t easy mowing. Want to reduce the fire danger more than anything.
Continue to enjoy the space I am in right now. Things are not pulling me off my center and I am able to pause before I react to life situations. Not sure how long this will last but I am going to enjoy every moment of it while it does. It has been a long time since I have felt this much deep peace and contentment.
Grateful for the peace and quiet this day has offered me, grateful my errands are done, and grateful for inner peace and contentment.
