One year ago today Jim and I moved to our house in Strong City together. Jim has officially been a KS resident for one year now. This year has gone by so fast. His KS license plate for his Honda came in the mail today. I think he has completed all the legal stuff to be an official KS resident now.
We left for Topeka at 11:15 this morning. I had an ultrasound of my throat at 1:00. It took all of five minutes. We then went to the Endocrinologist office and I had some blood drawn. We then stopped at Wolf’s Camera store in downtown Topeka. They are going out of business and Jim has a thing for cameras.
When we got to Emporia we stopped and got 250 pounds of chicken feed, 100 pounds of dog food and a 40 pound sack of cottonseed hulls. Jim got his exercise today hauling all of that and sorting it when we got home.
I got the results of the ultrasound and TSH this afternoon. The ultrasound was normal. My TSH is way too high. I won’t get the cancer level test back for about a week. Have a feeling the Endocrinologist will adjust my medication dosage when I see her the middle of June. Not sure why my body has so much trouble finding a good level and staying there. I bounce all over the place.
Sleep was almost impossible for me to find last night. I decided not to take a nap today and I will go to bed early if needed. Sure wish I could solve my sleep issue.
I didn’t make it in to paint this afternoon. We decided to take this week off and let our new renter get settled. I will get back at it next week. Jim is going to Stillwater next week and I will have time to go in and paint. This week I need to clean house here for the guest that is coming in Thursday.
Other than the guest coming in I don’t have anything on my calendar the rest of the week. I need a day or two of empty space to recharge myself. I allowed myself to get too drained trying to finish up the rental house. I need a couple of do nothing type of days.
I’m fixing Jim scalloped potatoes with ham for dinner tonight. I will have leftover meat loaf from yesterday.
23 more days until the new internet comes. I can’t wait! I’m so tired of having to log on to the internet two or three times a day as it keeps going off-line. Looking forward to having fast, reliable internet very soon.
The girls only gave us 16 eggs today – the slackers. I think maybe they are tired of this damp, cool weather too. I cleared out my stash Monday noon and I already have 3 dozen eggs in the stash. Maybe the girls knew I didn’t need as many right now.
Feeling a bit empty and blah right now. It has been way too busy for me lately. I was surprised how being around 50 plus people at the reunion yesterday wore me out. I am really struggling to be with people again – especially when there are more than two or three others. I feel like I got a bit fried yesterday with sensory overload.
Grateful for normal ultrasound results, grateful for a safe trip to Topeka, and grateful for some empty space days ahead of me this week.
