I am feeling much better again today. I have a very slight backache but it is almost gone. My energy has come back and I can almost put this little episode behind me. I may go in while I am home Friday and have a UA done just to make sure it is clean.
Went out and painted for an hour this morning. I am working on the kitchen cabinet doors that Jim is building. We are painting them two different colors and they need two coats of each color. I have to paint both sides and all the edges so it is taking me several days to get them all done. We won’t get them up before we leave for KS on Thursday morning but they should be up early next week after we get back to OK.
I only did three tax returns today but did four reviews. We ran out of clients so I left before 3:00. I don’t like to stand around and do nothing. The people I met today were super appreciative of the service we are providing.
Came home and painted for another hour. I doubt I paint anymore tonight. I might get one more coat on when I get done doing taxes tomorrow afternoon.
We took a one-mile walk this afternoon. It is in the upper 60’s today and a perfect day to take a walk. I almost had us go further but decided I shouldn’t push myself yet. Maybe tomorrow we can add some more distance to our walk.
I am going to fix tacos for dinner tonight. That is one of Jim’s favorite foods. I will have a taco salad but I think I will use the left over chicken from last night. I prefer chicken over beef and Jim prefers beef over chicken.
The electricians came this morning and added a new plug for the microwave. It finally works. We need to clean the old one up and take it to the ReStore. They also installed a plug in the bathroom. I now can plug my electric toothbrush in the bathroom instead of having the charging port in the bedroom. Wow! Progress!
I have lost touch with the phases of the moon. I am looking forward to getting back on the prairie full-time the end of April. I need some wide open space for a bit. We will probably come back to OK for at least one week during May but I am hoping to be on the prairie for most of May. We are going to be gone the first two weeks of June and maybe another week.
We got confirmation today that we have the cabin we requested in the Y Camp in Estes Park for July 1 – 29. I am hoping some of the kids will be able to come out and spend some time with us while we are there. Two of Jim’s brothers and their families will be out there during at least part of that time too. It will be a fun month full of family and hiking.
Feeling a bit disconnected from my friends and family in KS. I have been in OK for over three months now and still have another month to go. Coming home once a month for four or five days has helped but really feeling the need to have a long stretch at home.
Grateful for another beautiful spring day in Stillwater, grateful for all the progress we are making on the kitchen remodel and grateful we got our cabin for four weeks in July.
