Another hard night to find sleep for me. Finally fell asleep around daybreak so slept later than normal. When I got up I got dressed in my gym clothes and went to do my workout. I did two circuits with 10 reps on each machine. It feels good to get my workout done first thing in the morning so it is over with.
After my shower and breakfast I went into Emporia to pick up Roxy. She looks good but is pretty pissed at me that I put her in the garage pen. Legend is even more pissed. The Vet recommended I pen her for two to four days depending on how she does. I will be lucky to keep her in the pen for two days. She and Legend had rearranged her pen’s fence panels trying to get her out so they can be together.
Got the laundry room cleaned. I like to hand mop that floor when I clean it as the cats make a mess with their litter. It had been too long since I cleaned it and their box really smelled. The cats are spending most of their time outside now. Maybe this summer I will figure out a way to feed them outside and they can stay outside all the time. The dogs carry away their feed bowls. I had spilled some chicken feed in the garage and Star cleaned it up for me.
I have a class I am taking through the Internet this afternoon at three. My mentor is going to be teaching a monthly class for the next twelve months. He is taping it so I can watch it again if I want to. I always enjoy his material and it helps keep me focused and grounded.
Another windy day on the prairie. Sure feels like it might blow in a storm later. There is a haze on the distant horizon today.
Kathy grilled again last night. I wasn’t hungry but I did eat some of the pineapple she grilled. It was so good! I had some left overs of the pineapple for lunch today.
Hoping to get two bedrooms and two bathrooms cleaned this afternoon. I have house sitters coming Friday to cover the chores while I am in New Mexico. I want to make sure my house is clean and ready for them. I so appreciate them coming. They take really good care of my critters.
When I picked up eggs yesterday there was an egg just slightly bigger than a quarter in the nesting box. I broke it open and it had a clear colored yolk. When chickens lay their first couple of eggs the eggs can be small like that but I haven’t seen that before from more mature chickens. Even the first eggs have yellow yolks. Must have been a quirk of nature.
I rode my stationary bike for 48 minutes yesterday. The back of my shirt was wet when I was done. I never used to sweat and it surprises me when I do now. The house got up to 85 yesterday afternoon but cooled down nicely last night. I won’t turn the A/C on until it stays warmer at night.
Starting to have more energy since I have started working out. I am almost five months without sugar and two weeks without white flour. I am liking what those two changes plus working out is doing to my body. I don’t like sitting in my chair as much as I used to. I want to be up moving my body much more of the time which is a very good thing. Movement is my word for the year and it is proving to have been a good choice for me.
Windy day. Blue skies. Roxy is home. All is well on the prairie.
