This has felt like a long day to me. I had trouble finding sleep last night and woke up feeling cranky.
I took the tax computer back to the coordinator of the tax program and then went and got my haircut. It always feels good to get a haircut.
Stopped at Walmart afterwards and got dog food, kitty litter and some groceries. Stopped by Sutherland’s to get a bookcase bracket thingy but they didn’t have any of the kind I needed. I’ll look at Bluestem next time I go to town and see if they have them. I need to take one of the ones I have with me so I can show it to someone and have them help me find one just like it.
Came home and put all the groceries away. The UPS man had delivered the carbon monoxide detectors that I had ordered so got those put up. I tell you, taking them out of the packaging they were in was almost more than I could do. The drill bit set also came in and it was packaged in a way that made it very hard to open too. I used a pair of scissors and a knife and got both opened without damage to myself. I’ll call that a win!
I rode the bike for 30 minutes this afternoon. My energy level today has been low and 30 minutes felt like all I wanted to push myself today. I hadn’t ridden at all for the last two days so I will take 30 minutes today.
Did a couple loads of laundry and got that all folded and put away. Just hasn’t felt like a very productive day and the cranky mood seems to have hung around today. Good thing most of the time I have been by myself.
Doing therapy wears me out. The Therapist is easy to talk to and the time with her goes fast but I usually feel very drained for 24 – 48 hours afterwards. It was a good thing I had a relatively slow day and had lots of down time.
My Therapist told me yesterday that I had received a major shock to my system and that my central nervous system is still recovering. She warned me I would have days like this and not to let them get me down. She said it will take lots more time before I am fully recovered and can keep myself full all the time.
It has been cold and cloudy most of the day. We have gotten a very little bit of light rain this afternoon but not enough to measure yet. I miss the sunshine and warmer weather. We may get some snow overnight – we shall see. I keep looking at radar and so far the system has gone south and most of it has missed us.
Tomorrow I am meeting some friends for lunch in Cottonwood Falls. That will be good. I need to remember to stop at Dollar General afterwards to see if they got some distilled water on the truck they are expecting tomorrow morning. Not sure what the deal is with distilled water but I am having trouble finding it. Walmart was out of it again today as was Dollar General.
For some reason today the quiet in the house has made me feel a bit restless and not peaceful. I’m sure a lot of it is due to the lack of sleep I have gotten the last couple of nights. Think I will take an early bath and then take a sleep aide and hopefully sleep long and hard tonight.
Trusting tomorrow I will be in a better head space and get some housecleaning done. I haven’t been motivated today to do any. It seems to wait for me to get to it – sooner or later. I just find more dirt if it is later rather than sooner.
Grateful for a haircut today, grateful the grocery list was taken care of, and grateful this day is almost over.
I wonder if you woke up to snow this morning. We got a couple inches at our place. It is beautiful, having blanketed every twig and plant with snow. I topped off my bird feeders and they are quite busy. Hope you have a good day!
