Went to Pioneer Bluff around 11:00 this morning to help serve a lunch. I had fun giving the lunch guests a tour of the grounds and serving and cleaning up after the lunch. I took a salad to eat so I didn’t sample the yummy food that was served.
Sent a message to my doctor’s office this morning about my low heart rate and they wanted to see me today. I went in this afternoon for that appointment. The doctor is not going to do anything right now as I am not symptomatic at this time. He thinks it is just my thyroid slowing it down and it will improve on its own. If I get symptomatic I am to come back in.
I spent most of the time I was with the doctor talking about international travel. He has traveled a lot and is always interested in where I am going next.
I was going to have the doctor check out the fingernail that is falling off but I forgot to mention it to him. It doesn’t bother me and so far I haven’t caught it on anything and pulled at it Michelle told me to keep it trimmed short and let it do what it is going to do. So far that is working.
Glad I went in as now I won’t worry about my low heart rate. It was dropping lower than normal for me and I just needed to make sure I am good to go for another 20 years or so.
Stopped at Walmart on the way home and picked up some groceries. I need chicken feed but decided to get that later in the week. I’m tired and didn’t feel like lifting 50 pound sacks of feed.
I have a free day tomorrow and then Thursday I am going to Manhattan to visit some dear friends with a stop on the way in Council Grove to get some new pans to cook eggs in. Need to decide if I want to organize something for Easter dinner. I’ll see if the urge hits me – it hasn’t so far.
Have started the last repeat on the throw I am knitting. It will take me a couple more days to get it done. The pattern calls for me to pick up stitches along the sides and knit a border. I’ve only done that one other time and not sure I remember how to do it. May need to find someone to help me do that. Last time I used this pattern I didn’t do a border but I had made the first one much narrower than the one I am working on now.
It was interesting watching myself interact with the guests today. I was able to step up and engage them in conversation and not feel uncomfortable doing so. It sure helped that I had several quiet days alone before today and I went today feeling well grounded and centered. I have had days where I wouldn’t have been able to do what I did today without coming home totally exhausted.
Grateful to have been of service today, grateful to have gotten a green light on my low heart rate, and grateful for the rain we received today. The sun returns from its short vacation tomorrow!
