Jim and I stepped out and watch Jupiter and Saturn merge last night. It was a wonderful sight in the sky. Looking forward to watching it again tonight if the clouds clear.
It has been a windy day on the prairie today. It warmed up to the mid 60’s which is amazing for the middle of December. My peach tree is budding out – silly thing.
I got 13 eggs today – a new record for these girls. Got another huge egg. The one I had gotten yesterday had a double yolk – I had it for breakfast this morning. Got another green shelled egg today. They always make me smile.
I took a nap this afternoon. Didn’t sleep well again last night. Kinda getting used to that. I will probably get on the hot line tonight since I took a nap today. The week before Christmas can be lonely and stressful and the hot line has been busy lately.
I haven’t done much today. I have some cleaning I really need to do but it hasn’t captured my attention yet today. It is so windy and dusty today that cleaning up dust seems like an exercise in vain. We need rain badly to quiet the dust and to fill the cracks in the yard.
Jim took the trash to the curb today so it must be Tuesday. Some weeks that is the only thing on my calendar. Hope the lid doesn’t blow into Morris County tonight.
I am fixing Jim scalloped potatoes with ham for dinner. I am having a piece of salmon with a baked sweet potato. White potatoes and I are not good friends these days. They tend to bloat me and give me stomach cramps. Ever since I had C-Diff I have had to pay close attention to how my stomach reacts to certain foods. I still can’t do anything raw, eat grains, dairy or beans in addition to the white potatoes. Maybe someday my stomach will heal and I can consume them again. We will see.
Nothing planned for tomorrow. Thursday I have to go to town for a bone density test as well as a blood draw. I have a grocery list so will stop and get our groceries for the week while I am in town. The list isn’t very long this week so it won’t take me long. Hope the store isn’t over run with last minute Christmas shoppers.
Jim is taking his Mazda in to get tags tomorrow. Hopefully he has what he needs this time and can accomplish this task. The Honda never did get tagged. He will have to switch cars again next time he goes to Stillwater and try again with the Honda.
I checked and a gift that I had ordered that they were to ship got delivered today. Grateful it made it on time and arrived safely. That was the last of my Christmas shipping that needed to arrive in time for Christmas. My gifts for Jim are wrapped so I am officially ready for Christmas. Now to find some Christmas spirit. It seems to be in short supply for me this year.
The yarn I ordered to make a small needle blanket is to be here either tomorrow or Thursday. I need a project and it will be good to have something new to work on.
Grateful for all the eggs I am getting now, grateful for lots of empty space right now, and grateful it is almost time for dinner – I am hungry tonight!
