Another quiet day on the prairie. I did have a short visit with an egg customer. It is so nice to visit with a dear friend – even if we can’t hug or get too close. I’ve sold $10 worth of eggs this week. Wow! At this rate I may break even in seven years – ha!

Took a short nap this afternoon. I had a bit of a headache and it went away after I laid down for a bit. My blood pressure was a touch low today and I felt a bit off. Feel better now. Think I am a bit dehydrated – will try to drink lots of water this afternoon and see if that helps.

Baked a batch of cookies this afternoon. I will put them in the freezer and take then to town to give to the kiddos next time I go to town. Jim taste tested them and gave them his approval. I was in the mood to bake something. I don’t eat cookies or cakes any more but love to bake them.

It is in the low 50’s on the prairie today. Another beautiful winter day. We are having a mild winter so far this year. Have had snow twice and not much of it either time. We sure could use some more moisture though.

Jim took a hike today while I took a nap. He is good about getting out and walking in the cold weather. I am a wuss and prefer to stay in when it is windy and a bit chilly.

We are having leftovers for dinner so don’t have to fix dinner tonight. I need to clean out the refrigerator to make room for more eggs. We only got 15 eggs today – the slackers.

I am setting up a regular delivery time of around noon on Monday to deliver eggs to Strong City and Cottonwood Falls customers. If you want to be added to my delivery route let me know. Eggs are $3 a dozen or $5 for two dozen. Regular weekly customers get first take of the eggs but you can have some as needed if I have them available. My phone number is 620-481-8323 and my email is kaykrause872@yahoo.co.uk

Still knitting on the scarf I am making to go with the hat. The yarn I need to finish the blanket still hasn’t shipped yet so that project is sidelined for a bit.

Found out today that Chase County Health Department is collecting names of Airbnb owners that are interested in getting the COVID vaccine. I put our names on their list. Not sure what it means as to when we might get the vaccine. It is the first list we have been put on though. KS sure seems to be moving a bit slowly to get the vaccine in arms. I haven’t seem anywhere else to sign up for a vaccine yet. We are privileged in that we can stay home and stay stay so am hoping the vaccines are going to those at higher risk right now. I can’t even consider opening the Airbnb though until we are both protected.

It will be interesting to watch what happens tonight in the Georgia senate races and tomorrow during the acceptance of the Electoral College election results. Jim has been tied up in knots listening to the news. He has a deeper understanding of all of it then I do. I will be glad when Biden is inaugurated and Trump is gone. Maybe the government can then get back to the business of doing what they have been elected to do and quit with the politics and games. I am loosing faith in them.

Grateful for short visits from friends, grateful for my egg customers, and grateful for leftovers that give me a break from cooking dinner.
