The second storm last night woke me up. I had rain blowing in my bedroom window. We had small hail for a bit with high winds and more rain. I haven’t heard rain totals for the area. It was nice to get some rain.
I went to Emporia late morning today. I needed to run the errands I didn’t have the energy to do yesterday. I have a CD that is coming up for renewal so I stopped at the bank I have it at. I had received a letter from them telling me I needed to give renewal instructions before the renewal date. However the clerk at the bank told me they couldn’t do anything until the actual renewal date and that I had 10 calendar days from the date of renewal to come in and take care of it. Wonder why the letter didn’t say that?
Went to Brown’s Shoe Store and got two pair of Smart Wool socks. They usually have a good selection of colors and styles but not so much today. I only got two pairs as that is all they had in the weight of sock I like.
Went through the car wash and then took some time to vacuum out the car. Traveling over 3,300 miles caused the car to look like it was lived in.
Went to Walmart and got the items on my grocery list and the other things I needed. While I was at Walmart I got hot and dizzy for a bit. I managed to get out of the store and to my car. I stopped at McDonald’s and got an iced tea. I hadn’t had any fluids today and I think I was a bit dehydrated. Felt a bit better by the time I got home.
Got the car unloaded and things put away. I felt drained again after the trip to town. I was invited to a Happy Hour this afternoon but didn’t have the energy to go. One outing a day seems to be my limit right now.
It was much cooler today as a result of the storm last night. It was a beautiful day. We had a few little limbs down this morning. Grateful I had all the trees trimmed last year so there is less danger of limbs falling.
I don’t have anywhere to go tomorrow so will have a stay at home day. I did a bit of cleaning today and plan on doing more tomorrow. It takes me longer to clean a room than normal as I am working on some piled up clutter in each room. This house is small and I have to get creative to find places for everything. Too often I pile it up until I can’t anymore.
I have been able to refill myself by staying home this afternoon. I filled back up quicker than I did yesterday. I’m betting with another few quiet days at home I will be able to hold my light longer when I am out and about. Still not spending much time reading the news. My soul isn’t ready for that yet. Reading the news drains me even faster than going to town.
Nothing much feels important to me yet. This feels like a time I am to nest and clean and rest. I feel my body resetting somehow. Sometimes I don’t understand at the time why I am intuitively led to do things. My life functions best when I do what I am led to do and not over ride it.
Grateful the errands got taken care of today, grateful for the rain last night, and grateful for this time of rest and reset.
