A somewhat better day today. I’ll take it as a sign of progress. I haven’t cried today – at least yet!
Just sent my Prius on its way to CA. It was weird to drive it one last time. It has been a great little car but I can’t say that I am sad to see it go. I love my Forester much better! It will be a good car for David. I will miss the low cost of filling the gas tank.
Jim went out on errands today. We decided we both shouldn’t get out at the same time and double our chance of exposure. He dropped off recycling material and went to the grocery store.
I took about a one mile walk while he was gone. My heart started racing so I turned around and slowly walked back to the house. It does that when my thyroid levels get out of wack after being sick. Have about two to four more weeks before I will feel “normal” again.
It is 71 degrees in Stillwater today. Going to hit the 90’s on Thursday. Maybe it will get warm enough to chase away the Corona virus that is invading OK. They are over 100 cases already and have surpassed KS in case count. People here don’t seem to be taking shelter in place very seriously.
Still have a nagging headache. Unusual for me to have a headache and especially one for several days. It quiets down and then roars back. Thinking it is related to my thyroid being out of wack.
I called some doctors in Stillwater to see if I could get an appointment this week so I could have my levels checked. There is a six week wait time for new patients. One office recommended I go to Urgent Care and ask them to do the blood work. Another said I could have my doctor in Emporia fax the blood test ordered to the clinic and have my blood drawn that way and they could send him the results. I will decide tomorrow which way would be best.
Saw a post about the price of eggs in the stores. Grateful my chickens are putting out a few eggs a day right now. Wish I was home to eat them! Might need to replenish my stock sooner rather than later if the price of eggs keep rising.
I sure miss my prairie. If Plan A was enforced we would be home on the prairie for a week. Staying flexible and making the best of Plan B. It would help if I knew when I might get to go back home to stay but there are way too many variables for that. Good practice for me to continue to sit in the unknown and know that in this moment all is well. I repeat that to myself many times a day when my brain goes into monkey chatter. It helps remind myself to come back to the present and know all is well.
I’m glad the tax date got extended as I don’t know when I will get to Emporia to get my taxes. I haven’t heard if they are done or not and what the outcome is. I’ll have to make a trip to Emporia to pick them up if I am not home by then.
Grateful for a beautiful spring day in Stillwater, grateful the Prius is on its way to California, and grateful I am on the upward swing!
