Sleep was almost impossible to find last night. Sure makes for a long night when that happens. Trying hard not to take a nap this afternoon so I can break this cycle and attempt to get more sleep at night.
I cleaned out the freezer to make room for the new beef that is coming later this week. I took 15 pounds of hamburger to Jason and 25 pounds to Michelle when I went to town today. Jason told me he went to buy some hamburger a week ago and the price was almost $15 for less than 1 1/2 pounds. Yikes! Still have some more hamburger that needs used up. Hit me up if you need some – it is grass fed beef. $4 a pound package.
Had a birthday lunch with Jason at Radius. The food was good as usual and it is always a good day when I get to spend time with one of my kids. Jason treated me to lunch for my birthday.
I was going to go pick up the beef after lunch but it was looking like it was going to storm and I really dislike driving in the rain. I have to go to town tomorrow so decided to wait until then to go get the beef. I got home two minutes before the heavens opened and the rain came down.
Did some paperwork this afternoon. Wrote a thank you note for the Love in Action Project and got an insurance formed filled out for Kathy and got it ready to mail. Got some information from the insurance that Kathy got accepted for that I don’t understand. I need to find someone to explain it all to me. The first letter we got from them said she was covered although they didn’t send an ID card. This letter said she needs to spend down over $6,000 and not sure how we do that. Wonder if they could make this anymore confusing?
Looks like we have gotten close to an inch of rain so far and more is on the way. I hadn’t checked the weather forecast and was surprised when this storm rolled in. We had thunder and lightning during the night but little if any rain. Kathy’s flower’s appreciated what rain we got today.
Tomorrow I have to be in Emporia at 1:00 for my annual physical. Afterwards I will go eat as I have to go in fasting and then drive down to Olpe to pick up the beef. I will come home and sort and count the beef and then take 1/3 of it to a friend’s house. I will take 1/3 of it to Nicole Thursday and store the other 1/3 in my freezer. I think I have room for it. May have to get creative.
Just got a call from the meat locker to let me know my beef is ready. I had wondered why they hadn’t called earlier. Evidently their freezer went out and they had to borrow a refrigerated trailer to store it. The guy they borrowed the trailer from needed the trailer and took the beef on a journey. It is to come back tomorrow morning. Grateful I didn’t drive down today to pick it up. Oh, if the beef could talk! I need to remember to unload the two bags of dog food that is in the back of my car before I go get the beef tomorrow.
The empty space this afternoon feels more comfortable to me than it did yesterday. Funny how some days I can step into acceptance of what is and some days I am in resistance to it. Life is easier on the days where I can find acceptance of what is.
Grateful for lunch with Jason, grateful the freezer is ready for the fresh beef, and grateful for acceptance of what is in this moment.
