Got up and got dressed and walked the dogs one by one to Kathy’s coffee shop. It was a nice walk for all of us. Sophia did her business but Roxy never did.

I’m not sure I have gotten much more done today. I took a long nap late morning. My body has slowed down today and doesn’t want to find the on switch. I have been expecting to crash and burn one day soon and I guess today was the day. Good thing I didn’t have anything on my calendar.

The organizing supplies came in today. Nice to have the silverware easy to find again. I got a hanging spice rack that is going to work really well. I also got a rack to hang up the brooms and mops. I sent Phil a text and asked if he could get those two things hung up for me.

I had ordered a three tier stand for the bathroom. It was so cheaply made that I started to put it together and gave up and threw it away. Lesson learned. I will look in a store and find what I am looking for.

I got some containers to put in the entertainment center. It has doors that pull out and has shelves on it. I needed something to contain what I wanted to put on the shelves and they work perfectly.

I got the spice jars all labeled and some put in the jars that came with the rack. It will be nice to be easily able to find the spices I am looking for.

Still haven’t hung a picture on the wall yet. Not feeling like I would be successful at it today so decided to offer myself some grace and not try. This is not a day for anything hard and sometimes hanging pictures is hard for me.

I need to dig the push mower out of the shed and do some mowing with it. Not sure I have the patience to do that today. This isn’t a day for me to do hard things.

It is a beautiful day out today. We didn’t get much rain or any of the predicted storms last night. Grateful for that although I feel bad for the places that got hit with high winds and tornadoes. Sounds like there weren’t as many as had been predicted but one anywhere is one too many.

Guess I will continue taking a rest day and not attempt to do something. Sometimes I need to listen to my body and give it the rest it needs. There is nothing I have to do today that can’t wait for an easier day.

Grateful I know how to give my body what it needs and have the time and space to do so, grateful for organizing tools that make living in a small space easier, and grateful that this too shall pass.
