This has been a quiet day on the prairie. I feel tired today and have low energy. Decided to declare it a rest day and not do much – not that I do much most days.
Good news – Michelle let me know she got her car out. Not sure how but am grateful she did. What an experience that was for her. Traveling on unknown gravel roads when it is dark and rainy is dangerous.
John Deere came and picked up the lawn mower to take it in for its annual service. They had called to tell me they were on their way so I went down and drove the mower out of the barn for them. I saw the truck come and pick it up but didn’t talk to them. They know what to do with it as they do it every year. It always come back looking fairly new.
I changed three light bulbs today. The hallway one had burned out and I can’t reach it using my small step ladder. I have a bulb changer on a long pole that I remembered I had so used that. The other two were in the pantry and I had to get a ladder to reach them. Burned out light bulbs bother me and these had been out for a bit. Glad I remembered to get them changed today.
It has warmed up to 54 today which is higher than the forecast predicted. It is partly cloudy with light wind. I’ll take the mid 50’s anytime in February. Spring is coming – I can feel it!
Jason has pool league tonight so won’t be home for dinner. I had a late lunch so won’t need to fix dinner tonight for me.
Tomorrow will be a busy day. I have to be at the Senior Center at 8:45 to do taxes. I have a Doctor’s appointment at 10:30 so will leave at 10:00 to go to that. If I get out of the Doctor’s by 11:00 I’ll go back and do another tax return. After that I will go to the Chiropractor and then stop and get a few groceries. I have a big bag of clothes to drop off at the Salvation Army while I am downtown. I have to come back to town to do taxes at 5:00 Wednesday evening.
Thursday and Friday are still empty space days – so far. That seems to change quick around here though. Saturday I have the Locksmith coming in the morning and then the Advanced Directives Workshop in the afternoon. Sunday is Super Bowl. I think Tagen and Lily are coming out to watch the game and have dinner with me.
This is one of those days where my mind is very quiet. It is hard to hold on to a thought for long. I feel like I am in slow motion of sorts today. I don’t think I would do well taking a test of any sort today, can’t process very quickly today. It feels good to slow down and relax into being today and not doing. Going to allow this to play out today and enjoy the quiet within. It doesn’t happen often!
Grateful the light bulbs got changed, grateful Michelle’s car got out of the mud, and grateful for a quiet mind today.
