Had trouble sleeping last night. Finally took some NyQuil around 5:00 and slept hard until 11:00. Makes a day go by fast when you sleep half of it away.
Jim worked yesterday replacing boards on the overhang of his garage. I painted them today and he added the first top layer. Still have more layers to go to finish the project but it already looks a lot better than it did.
It was a day in the low 70’s in Stillwater today. The clouds would roll in and than roll out. The sun would come out to play and then go behind clouds again. When the sun was out and the wind was calm it was t-shirt weather but when the clouds rolled in and the wind picked up I needed long sleeves.
We grilled hamburgers again for dinner. I used the air pot and made French fries. Have finally figured out how to use the machine and the timing of the fries. They turned out good tonight.
We are going for a walk as soon as Jim finishes fastening the last board to the over hang.
I felt hung over most of the afternoon. I am grateful the NyQuil helps me sleep but I don’t like the after effect. I had a Foggy brain and a feeling of not being completely in my body most of the afternoon. I was on a ladder most of the afternoon with my head bent backwards – not a good combination when you have a hang over.
It is to be windy and warm again tomorrow with rain coming in along with some cooler temperatures for Friday. Next week it is to get up into the 80’s. Summer comes fast to Oklahoma.
The governor of OK still hasn’t shut down the state. Individual cities are closed down to essential businesses only but not the entire state. The numbers keep jumping here. Testing has been slow to get here although they announced today they got a lot of test kits in and have relaxed the conditions under which you can be tested.
We started self isolating around the 14th of March. It is starting to feel “normal” to stay home and not see anyone else. We are working on projects that Jim has the parts for so he can avoid going to Lowe’s. One of us needs to go to Walmart to get my new prescription but decided it would wait until we needed other things too.
Ellexia seems to be enjoying internet school. She said it is boring though. She is in advanced classes and they are teaching to the lower level. She liked being able to see her friends. She is such a social butterfly that staying home without her friends is hard for her.
Realized today that Tagen won’t have an 8th grade graduation ceremony. Wonder if they will do something in the fall. Can’t believe he is starting high school this fall.
Grateful the painting job is complete, grateful for NyQuil and sleep, and grateful that in this moment all is well!
