I spent most of the day cooking in the kitchen. I volunteered to take dinner into Tim and Michelle. I fixed creamed chicken and biscuits, mashed potatoes, green beans and brownies. It takes me longer to fix a meal than it used to. I didn’t sample anything so trusting it was all edible.
I ran it into them at 5:00. Ellexia wanted to eat early as she was hungry. I stopped and got some groceries after I dropped the meal off and then came home and put everything away. I got the kitchen cleaned up and everything put away from my cooking adventure. All is back to normal again.
Got an email from my chicken supplier. The chicks were put in the mail this afternoon and should be here either Thursday or Friday morning. I trust their travel adventure will go smoothly. I’m sure they will be hungry and thirsty when they get here.
I haven’t gotten much else done today. Want to do some more cleaning this evening. Last night I was going to clean but my neighbor called and we went for a 3 mile walk instead. My legs needed stretched and it was good for my soul to move my body. I might take another walk tonight – we shall see. I really need to get some cleaning done.
I haven’t worked on face masks today. Needed to take a break for a day from them. They seem to sit patiently waiting for me to get back to them to finish them up. Have enough pieces for about 100 more. Then I will have to decide if I want to order more material to make more or not. Right now I’m not so sure I do but that may change. They do give me something productive to do when I can’t think of other things to do.
Jim picked up the TV I purchased on-line from Best Buy. The wall stand was back ordered and they are going to ship that to us. It will be nice to have a TV big enough to see the words on the screen.
I spent 20 minutes cleaning up Tony’s feeding station yesterday. When I went into the study today I noticed he had destroyed it again and it is a big mess. He is worse than a child at times. Tony is one of Jim’s cats. He spends most of his time outside but comes in to eat and sleep. If he doesn’t quit making a mess he may find himself eating and sleeping outside.
Jim is to come home tomorrow. His floor guys showed up a day early and got the job done today. He had some last minute things to finish up but will load up and head home early afternoon tomorrow. It will be good to have him back home.
So far today the skies are clear. I want to go out tonight and look for meteors as the Perseid Meteor Shower is this week. I hope they put on a great show this year.
I slept in bits and icees last night. I sure wish I could sleep for five or six hours straight without waking up and staying awake for an hour or so. I’m really tired tonight so maybe tonight will be the night I can get some good sleep. It has been several nights since that happened.
Need to take the trash down and track down Jim’s cats to give them their flea and tick medication. Those are the last two things on my to do list for the day. I have a wish to do list too but that one seems not to get done very often.
Feeling a bit better today although I am still not fully grounded. Am giving myself some grace and lowering my personal expectations of myself right now. Things keep changing and spinning around me and I struggle at times to keep up. Sometimes the best thing I can do is let go and block out as much as possible and remember to take care of myself. Harder to do that than it feels like it should be sometimes though.
Grateful I was able to take dinner into the kids tonight, grateful the chicks are on their way, and grateful Jim will be home tomorrow.
