Kathy left with Craig this morning. They are headed to Colorado for a couple of days. Craig had asked me to go with him but I wasn’t ready to take another trip right now. Grateful Kathy went with him so he didn’t try to drive it all himself.
Got the plumber out this morning to fix my backed up overflow drain. Nice to be able to do dishes and not have to go downstairs and use the wet vac. The other guy still has the flu and hadn’t made it out yet.
Expecting a furniture delivery this afternoon. They were to have come yesterday but someone got sick and they had to reschedule. Must be a lot of flu and crud going around.
Ellexia sent me a text this morning and told me she was bored. After the plumber left I went into town and picked both kids up. After a quick stop at the grocery store we came to my house. They are planning on spending the night as their mom works again tonight and she will need to sleep at least for a while tomorrow. She had worked last night too and needed to sleep today.
Still need to go down and see if I can get into the chicken coop. Was waiting to see if it was going to warm up but not thinking that it is going to. May have to get creative to make sure they have access to water. I can throw food in their coop via the egg door. May see if Tagen can squeeze through the little trap door and see if he can push the door open from the inside. Ellexia could make it in but she isn’t strong enough to do much good.
Sophia is stuck with me while Kathy is gone. So far she has been good. The kids played with her for a bit when they first got here until Sophia had enough and wanted to go back outside. The dogs love this very cold weather.
The first thing Ellexia had me do when she got here was change my music. She doesn’t like quiet, soft music. Lord help me! There is a station on my Sonos called Kidz Bop 36 she likes. I am getting old! She just ask me to play the song Just Shake Your Rump! Where have I been lately? Have never heard of it.
Need to remember to set the trash out tonight. They are picking up a day late this week and next due to the holidays. Need to change the cat litter box. It is way overdue to be refreshed.
Another cloudy and bitterly cold day on the prairie. Ready for winter to be over and spring to come. Am not a fan of cold weather. Makes me want to run away to a warm beach somewhere.
So grateful the kiddos came to spend the day. I miss my peace and quiet but it is fun to have them here for a day or so. They are a bit wired but trusting they will settle down soon and relax into the quiet of the prairie. Both look a bit tired so maybe bedtime can come early tonight.
All is well on the cold prairie today. It isn’t very quiet but full of fun today instead!
