I feel much better today. Thanks to all who reached out with love and concern. I appreciate each of you!
It was a much cooler day in Stillwater today. It only got to mid 70’s today which is my heaven zone. There was a brisk breeze that made it feel a bit cooler but I could be out with just a light sweater on.
I finished mowing the back yard this afternoon. I waited until Jim got back from taking care of our weekly errands and picking up a few groceries. My heart rate got fast but I wasn’t light-headed this afternoon. Am thinking yesterday was a combination of thyroid levels that are too low as well as the side effect of donating blood on Monday.
I got two more lessons done for my Crisis Text Hot Line homework today. Tomorrow morning I will do a practice complete call. After that response is manually graded I have one more section to complete on policies and then I will be ready to take my first shift. I will be glad when the first couple of weeks of shifts are done and I feel comfortable. I always doubt myself when I start something new.
We cleaned out the refrigerator for dinner tonight. I had chili and Jim had split pea soup. We both had some hot dogs we grilled. Cleaned out a few other containers of a bite of this and a bite of that. Still have some left overs in the refrigerator but not enough for another meal. I’ll try to get some of them eaten for lunch over the next couple of days.
I got a letter from my Aunt Marylyn today. Always love hearing from her. She caught me up on her family and all the new additions that are due this summer. Sounds like she is weathering this “pause” time well. I do feel for those that live alone during this time. It can’t be good for their mental health long-term.
I wrote two letters today. I have gotten lazy and haven’t written any the last couple of days. I’ll try to get a few more written tomorrow too. Good to be feeling better so I can get caught up.
Jim mailed some more face masks for me today to a friend. If you don’t have a mask and need one please reach out and I will get some to you. I have over 40 made that are waiting for a home and have enough material ordered to make 100 more when it gets here. I mailed some to a couple of friends and they let me know today they had received them.
I still haven’t received my Stimulus money. I read that I am in the group that is to receive it this week. We shall see. We finally heard from the church and found out that we will be receiving our deposit and charge for the wedding back as we didn’t have the ceremony and reception that we had planned. Not sure when that will be coming either.
Today was another easy day. I didn’t get much done but the day passed quickly. Don’t have any special plans over the next couple of days. Hoping some more ribbon will come in tomorrow so I can get another 25 masks made. It gives me something to do that feels productive. Jim hasn’t come up with a project for me yet except to help him occasionally on what he is working on.
Grateful I am feeling better today and was able to finish mowing the yard, grateful for left overs that make an easy dinner, and grateful I am almost done with my Crisis Text Hot Line homework.
