Time is doing it’s thing on me. I was shocked when I went to type and my iPad said Tuesday. Not sure what day of the week I think it is but I had a moment when I read Tuesday. I just came up from walking the trash down the lane and I do that on Tuesday. I think I am loosing my mind. When you stay home all the time days of the week don’t mean much I guess.

The baby chickens have fresh linens. I went down this morning and scooped out the dirty linens and put down fresh. The coop smells better. The cottonseed hulls are easier to deal with then the straw. I’m sure as the chickens grow it will get dirty faster but it wasn’t bad today.

We are working on rearranging the study. I took a tub full of Knick knacks off of the book case shelves today and took it downstairs. We currently have five bookcases in there and when the new desks are done I think we are only going to have room for three. We will put the extra book cases downstairs. Jim still has at least six more book cases in Stillwater to bring up. The house is slowly filling up.

I took a nap this afternoon. I slept better last night but I was awake at 6:00 and couldn’t go back to sleep. I want to take some calls on the Crisis Hot Line tonight and needed a nap so I could stay awake to do so.

It was so foggy this morning I couldn’t see past the back deck for a bit. This afternoon the clouds rolled in but so far no moisture. The prairie could use a nice long drink of rain water.

I haven’t gotten any more cleaning done inside today. Still might get the dining room done but wouldn’t bet on it. I much prefer to sew on masks than to clean. I haven’t gotten any masks completed today but am making progress on the bits and pieces of them to get them to the final stage of completion. I am out of elastic so am waiting for that to come in so I can pin a bunch more of them.

I got on the phone and made three appointments. All the cats and dogs need to go in for their annual physical and shots. I made two appointments and will take one dog and two cats at one time and then come home and return with another dog and two cats on the same day.

I made an appointment to see a Dermatologist. I have a few spots I want them to check out and also for them to look over my whole body. I have lots of moles and want to make sure they are all good.

I also got my mammogram rescheduled for the third time. Third time is a charm- right?

I’m taking my phone to Best Buy in Wichita next Tuesday to get the battery replaced. I need to go to Costco afterwards and get a few things.

I am putting together a shopping list for Jim for tomorrow. I need a few things and since I can’t get out he has to go to town for me. We will need to restock critter feed sometime soon. Maybe it can wait until I am out of quarantine and I can do that.

I haven’t read the news much lately. Needed to take a time out from all of it. My world feels very small to me right now. I must have needed this break from the rest of the world. Today is Fall Equinox and the journey within begins in earnest today. I spend from Fall Equinox to Winter Solstice going within and finding demons inside that need released to the light. It is usually an intense time for me, Maybe this year without the influence of the outside world the journey will be easier.

Grateful the chicken coop is cleaned out, grateful I was able to get all my appointments scheduled, and grateful for Fall Equinox and the lessons it brings to me.
