Woke up to the sound of ice pellets hitting the bedroom windows this morning. There is a light coating of ice on the prairie today. It I didn’t warm up enough today to do much melting. Thankful we didn’t get a heavy coating of it.
Stayed home all day and sat in front of the fireplace. I did manage to make it down to check on the chickens this morning. I didn’t let them out into the yard today. Their door was hard to open as it had ice on it.
Took a nap again this afternoon. That is becoming a daily habit for me. Grateful to be getting extra sleep right now to help my body heal.
Not as good of a day for me as I had been having. Have had five trips to the bathroom already today. I am back on clear fluids for a day or two to see if that will help slow things down. I may need to take another Imodium if it doesn’t.
Got the results of the mammogram and UA back and all is well. The UA had two out of range markers but the doctor said it was close enough for him to call it normal. That is a relief that the UTI cleared up and that the mammogram is normal.
Confirmed with the house sitter that she is still able to come Friday and stay for ten days. She sounds excited about coming and is bringing a friend with her for part of her stay. The animals love her and the house will be in good hands.
Found out a friend and her son have COVID. She had dinner with her son and the next day he came down with it and then she came down with it several days later. That is what worries me about gathering for the holidays. One can be a carrier of it and not know you are contagious. Trust she and her son will recover quickly and easily.
Had to move the plants out of the east window box so they don’t freeze. They are blooming and getting so big but I know if I leave them there they will freeze. Jim brought a bunch from Stillwater and put them downstairs so I will move these down there too.
We will have to go to Cottonwood Falls tomorrow to pick up Jim’s car. He had it in the shop getting some repair and it is ready to come back home. We need to dump recycling when we go. Thursday we will need to go to Emporia and get some cat food so they will have enough to make it through while we are gone.
I am in a rut of not doing much. If something is urgent I get it done but otherwise I have gotten very good at doing nothing. I knit off and on during the day but other than that don’t do much. Guess it is my season to “be” and not do.
Grateful for the warm fireplace, grateful the mammogram and UA were both normal, and grateful to be able to stay home on icy days like today.
