Finally got some good sleep last night. It came in three parts but I will take what I got. Nights go by faster when I sleep most of it.
I went to the library book sale this morning and got three grocery sacks of books for $30. I am helping with the sale tomorrow so will probably pick up another sack or two then for $5 a sack. Hard to beat that price when new books are often over $10 per book.
Drove to Wichita after I shopped for books. I needed to do a Costco run. It seemed to take a long time to get to Wichita this morning for some reason. Thankfully the trip home went fast. I got off at the Cassoday exit on the way home and stopped at the gas station there to see my friend. She gave me a tour of the new kitchen they are putting in. I got the car unloaded when I got home and things put away.
I have been messaging with a guy from KS the last two days. Think I will stop the conversation though as he seems to be as boring as watching grass grow. I’m sure he isn’t what I am looking for! His idea of a grand adventure and mine are worlds apart.
Got another scammer message. I recognized the pattern they use now so I reported him. Not sure it does any good to report them but it makes me feel better. Sure wish the scammers were for real as they are really good-looking. But I reminded myself this morning I don’t have to settle for the really boring ones either! This is a lesson in patience for me.
Made an appointment to get my hair cut. He can work me in before my shift at the library tomorrow morning but that means I have to leave the house by 8:00. I haven’t had to be up and out of the house that early for a bit. May need to set my alarm tonight. Now that I eat breakfast I’ll have to be up by 7:00. I have to take my thyroid pill 30 minutes before I can eat.
The Endocrinologist is not going to change my prescription level right now. I am a bit higher than she likes to see but she decided to ride it out and see what my levels do over the next couple of months. If they are high again next time she will change my dosage. I am to have it rechecked in December.
It has been a week since I lost any more weight so trusting I have hit bottom and won’t lose much more. She recommended that if I lose another three pounds I am to go see my general practitioner and see what he wants to do.
It has turned into a beautiful day in KS today. Temperatures are in the low 60’s and the sun is shining nice and bright. It is a touch windy out here on top of the hill on the prairie. We got a good hard freeze last night. It was really pretty this morning when the sun came up and was shining on the frost on the ground. Looked like a winter wonderland for a bit. If it was dry enough I would go out and mow but I still have water standing in places in my yard.
Nothing I have to do for the rest of the day. I am ready for the guests that are coming in tomorrow evening. I picked up some Worcestershire Sauce at Costco today so may get the Chex Mix made either today or tomorrow. Want to start making my Christmas baking list so I can start picking up a few things at a time off that list. That way it doesn’t feel like it costs so much. ! Ha!
Christmas is not my favorite time of the year. I am not a good gift buyer and the whole commercial part of Christmas wears me out. I do need to start thinking about what I want to give the kids and grandkids for Christmas this year. Maybe I will get inspired and think of something really cool. Not holding my breath though. I rarely come through that way.
Sitting in a good place today. I had a pep talk with myself on the way to Wichita and reminded myself to be patient. Good things take time! I do need to make an effort to get out more. Sometimes that is a real challenge for me. I usually enjoy the day when I do get out but it is hard to put my feet out the door to go. Not sure where to go sometimes. I hate small talk and going just to go. I much prefer a purposeful adventure.
Grateful for our local library and their book sales, grateful for my Endocrinologist and her prompt response, and grateful for the chance to learn yet another life lesson and open more ranges. Sometimes the process feels yucky in the moment but I alway appreciate the lessons afterwards.
