Completed two more lessons today. Another one on the most common diseases process and one of the Doula Elder Care classes. So far I am a bit disappointed in the Elder Care Class content. It isn’t very detailed as far as what one might actually be doing. She tells a lot of stories of clients she has worked with but not much information about what I am to do doing in this role. The common disease section is a bit overwhelming with all the medical stuff that might happen. It helps me realize that the Care Specialist role which helps others arrange their end of life care plans is the role I want to play.

No new supplies arrived today. Still waiting on my notary approval so I can start scheduling my first test cases.

We had a wonderful time last night. Four other couples came over for dinner and to be together to watch the election results come in. We ended up out on our deck and I read off the election results as they came in. We had a champaign toast to celebrate the defeat of the Amendment proposal after the New York Times called it a victory. It was a beautiful night to sit outside and enjoy the company of good friends.

I must say I was pleasantly surprised that KS rejected the proposed amendment as soundly as they did. I really thought it would pass. That gives me great hope for the November elections. The vote in Chase County was 48% NO and 52% YES. That was much closer than I had hoped for. There were over 1,000 people in the county that voted which was a very high turnout.

I have felt hungover all day today. I had two sips of wine last night so don’t think I had enough to have a hangover of that type. I have been low energy and draggy feeling all day. I took a two hour nap and still felt tired and worn out. My tummy was a bit upset most of the afternoon as well as having a headache. Trusting I will be feeling better tomorrow. Thankfully there was nothing I had to do today and could take a day of rest.

We have an empty schedule the rest of the week. I plan on continuing to work on my classes and get some more of them knocked out of the way. I will be done with them soon. Then I need to complete my class projects and I will be ready to get to work.

There was a beautiful rainbow this evening. We have had little bits of sprinkles off and on all day. Not sure it has been enough to register in the rain gauge though. We could see the rain all around us but it didn’t manage to get to us.

Have been doing some research on different ways to watch TV. Dish TV pissed me off yesterday and I want to fire them. I’m going into town tomorrow and will pick up a Roku device and see if I can make it work. If so, I will get to fire Dish. That would make my day.

Grateful for the beautiful rainbow this evening, grateful for the company of good friends last night, and grateful the amendment proposal was defeated.
