I took a whole sleep aide last night and got some good sleep. The only problem is I was sleepy all morning.
I got a text at 7:30 this morning from my renter in Cottonwood Falls telling me the guttering guys were at her house. I told her to give them my address and phone number. They never showed up! Got close to getting it fixed but no cigar.
I got up and got dressed so I could show them what to do but they never showed up. I took a short nap in my chair as I had trouble fully waking up.
Michelle took Tagen to his doctor appointment this morning. Tagen got released from his concussion protocol so he is good to go.
I fixed him two grilled cheese sandwiches and a can of Spaghetti O’s for his lunch. He had three bowls of cereal for breakfast. That boy/man can eat!
I went to the Dollar General Store in Cottonwood Falls this afternoon to get some potatoes, onions and hamburger buns. I am grilling hamburgers for dinner and have fixed deviled eggs and a potato salad to go with them. I will also fix some baked beans.
Haven’t gotten much else done today except for two more loads of laundry and another load of dishes. I told Kathy last night that I needed two dishwashers to keep up with dishes around here now. I sure don’t remember this many dishes when I had kids but I’m sure there were. The washing machine, dryer and dishwasher seem to be running non stop now with four people in the house full time.
We got some sprinkles today. West and south of here got a nice rain but by the time it got to us it had run out of rain to share. Dang. So close but so far away! It is to be over 100 degrees tomorrow. Summer has arrived on the prairie. The next 10 days are going to be hot, hot, hot! Glad my A/C works and I can stay inside.
Tomorrow we are moving Tagen’s things to this house. Hoping one truck load will do it. Jason is going to meet us there and help us get things loaded. I don’t think it will take more than an hour or so but we will see. I have a grocery order to pick up between 2 and 3 so hoping it will be ready to go when we are ready to come back home.
I had a Zoom class at noon today but slept through the first part of it and the instructor doesn’t admit late people. I hope she sends a replay of it so I can watch it later.
While I was in Cottonwood Falls, I stopped by Kansas Graphics to see if they can make some 4, 5, 6 and 7 generation buttons or ribbons for our family reunion in August. The person I needed to talk to wasn’t in and is to call me tomorrow. I will have to guess at the numbers I need of each. We shall see how expensive they are and if I order them or not. Thought it would be fun for everyone to have one but it is an optional thing and not required if cost prohibits it.
The house is back to my new normal today after the weekend guests. Both Tagen and Michelle have gotten settled in their rooms and have found places for their things. We are moving some beds around tomorrow once Tagen’s bed gets here. So grateful I have a big house and room for all of us and all their things.
Still sitting in a good head space. I was on the edge at times this weekend but managed not to fall into the muck pond or below the neutral consciousness level for very long. I do need to get a few things on my calendar just for me for the next couple of weeks. I need to remember to take good care of myself with all the upset around here and find ways to self soothe.
Saturday Kathy and I are going to Lawrence to go to our nephew’s wedding and reception. That will be a fun outing as we will see some family members we haven’t seen for a long time.
Grateful Tagen got released from his concussion protocol, grateful for sleeping aides, and grateful for a quiet day at home.
