Jim is teaching his OSHER class right now. This class starts at 5:30 and ends at 7:00. We will have dinner when he is done teaching tonight.
This has not been a good day for me. I am up to 10 trips to the bathroom today but I think things have finally slowed down a bit. I will call the doctor if this happens again. I have been on antibiotics since Friday and things should be better by now. I don’t remember doing this last time but may have and forgotten about the bad days.
Maybe tomorrow I will turn the corner and be on my way to recovery. I am a bit discouraged again today. Sure wish I knew why I have had a reoccurrence. Everything I had read says to expect one up to two months after the first one. It has been six months. Guess my body didn’t read the owner’s manual and it seems not to follow the expected rules.
I haven’t done much again today. Just don’t have any energy to do much. I did manage to go to Emporia this afternoon to pick up a few groceries, go to the bank and stop at the vet’s office to get flea and tic medication for the five dogs and cats. I was able to go to town and get home without a bathroom emergency thank heavens.
Tomorrow Tagen and his girlfriend are coming out for lunch. He requested spaghetti and meat balls. That will be an easy lunch to fix. When I get up in the morning I will make the sauce and cook it in the crock pot. I will come up with some sort of dessert – I am trying to remember what his favorite dessert is.
Ellexia requested no bake cookies. I may ask Tagen if he wants to make them for me tomorrow. That would give them something to do while they are here.
It has rained most of the day off and on. We have probably gotten close to an inch of rain over the last 24 hours with more on the way overnight and into tomorrow. I don’t think the drought is broken but we have made a good dent in our rain fall shortage for the year. When things dry out and warm up again I will have to mow the yard again. It had gone dormant and hasn’t needed mowed for a bit.
Thursday I will need to go to Council Grove and return the internet router to the old internet company. Jim has decided not to go to Stillwater this week so he will probably drive me. He was afraid to go to Stillwater since I am still a bit symptomatic. I’m sure it would have been OK for him to go but he is a bit of a worry wort sometimes.
We don’t have any plans for the holiday weekend. I am going to check with the kids to see if any of them want to come out sometime over the weekend for a meal. The kiddos like to shoot off fireworks in front of our big shop. They may all have made plans already but will check and see if any of them are free to come out.
I talked to my handyman yesterday and he has agreed to do the rest of the painting at the rental house for me. Not sure when he will be able to get to it. Maybe I will get to feeling better soon and will be able to do more of it myself. It took some pressure off of me though to know that he will do it if needed. Maybe it will get done this week or next after all.
I need to dig out a knitting project and start working on something. I need a new project that doesn’t take a lot of energy to do. I want to get 100 dishcloths knitted before our family reunion the first Sunday in October. I have some made but not enough. I need to get knitting if I am going to reach my goal of 100. I plan on taking yarn to CO in August and making a bunch while I am there too. I have yarn to knit another blanket and need to get it started. I had started it once and made a mistake and had to rip it out and haven’t restarted it. I can’t even remember when I knitted last – time to pick up the needles again and get started.
Feeling a bit blue and lost today. I’m not used to not having lots of energy and having several days in a row of not getting anything done. I am bored with myself right now! I’m sure I will turn the corner and start rebuilding my energy and this will be behind me soon.
Grateful to have the privilege to take rest and recovery days as needed, grateful I made it to and from Emporia without an emergency pit stop, and grateful things have slowed down today.
