Another quiet day at home. I worked on making masks again today. I have over 50 made and another 50 to go. If you need some masks let me know and I will get some in the mail to you. I don’t think I am going to make any more for a bit so speak up now before I give them away.
It was in the low 50’s here today and rainy and cloudy all day. I haven’t been outside at all today. I put my sweater on and take it off every ten minutes. My legs were cold so I put high socks on today. They don’t exactly match my shirt and sweater but no one but Jim saw me today so who cares.
I fixed chili in the crock pot for dinner tonight. It was good and it was a good day to have soup for dinner. Not sure what I am going to fix tomorrow night. I have enough chili left we could have it again but I will probably wait a night or two before I offer it again.
I remembered to call and get my ultrasound scheduled in Topeka for June. I had cancelled my appointment when the Endocrinologist changed my visit to an on-line visit. She wanted me to have it done in Topeka and told me it could wait until June. I will go to her clinic that day and get blood work done too.
Jim went to the post office to mail two packages and dropped off our recycling. Funny how running errands is note worthy these days. Before all of this I wouldn’t have even paid attention to the fact he left the house.
Our workers couldn’t work today due to the rain. They called this evening and told us they are planning on coming tomorrow. We will have to be up and ready for them in the morning. It will be good when they get that job done. Jim has wanted to do that project for a long time. We keep crossing things off his very long to-do list. We aren’t close to being finish but sure have made some nice progress the last couple of months.
I filed for the special unemployment today. KS finally got the details pulled together and are now accepting claims from self-employed people. Not sure if I qualify as I didn’t have lots of business last year but decided to try. I am more interested in how the process works than getting the funds. I want to be able to help others if needed and the best way to do that is to actually go through the process myself.
I deposited my stimulus check using the on-line feature of my on-line bank on Saturday. It got deposited into my account today. I find that process fascinating – not sure I understand how they do that but am grateful they can.
I mailed two letters yesterday but didn’t write one today. Still may get that done tonight. I need to do something productive this evening. Other than making masks I haven’t done anything today. I don’t like days like this when I don’t feel productive.
My housesitter sends me a text with pictures of the mail I receive at home. My water bill finally showed up. It had gotten caught in the mail circle between the two places. I think it made it to Stillwater and went back to Strong City and back to Stillwater and finally back to Strong City. Wish I could travel like that!
Neither one of us has been a ball of energy the last couple of days. Not sure if it is just weather related or what. We had been working hard a couple of days and maybe we just needed to a couple days of rest and slowing down a bit. I have never been able to figure out what causes my energy to come and go day by day. Trusting both of us will find more energy tomorrow and will get back to getting some more work done.
Grateful for more masks made, grateful for delicious chili for dinner, and grateful we can take a day for rest when needed.
