Another cold day on the prairie. Snow fell off and on most of the day although it never snowed hard enough to accumulate. It was cold doing chicken chores today. I was grateful for my insulated coveralls. Wish I had gloves that kept my hands as warm as my coveralls do my ass.
The Pioneer Bluffs committee meeting went well. I baked chocolate no-bake cookies and served those along with some Chex Mix and pistachios. A few drank a cup of hot tea and two of us drank iced tea. I had told them I had to leave at 4:15 but they were done and gone by 4:00.
I went into Emporia at 4:15 and did another tax preparation shift. I did five returns tonight. I was home by 6:45 as we ran out of clients tonight.
Tomorrow I have an empty space type of day on my calendar. I get to choose how I spend my time tomorrow. Don’t have much that I have to do but hate to waste an entire day. Not sure what I will find to do. I only have one more empty space day before my adventure with my Match guy in March. I best use my day wisely and appreciate and enjoy it.
I found a house sitter for the time I will be gone in March. I’m relieved to have done so. I have a friend that would come do chores twice a day but the dogs do better when someone is in the house and they have someone to guard at night. She will probably be available when I take my trip to CO in July too. Yeah! What a relief.
This morning my blood pressure was 124.77 which is perfect. Tonight it is too high at 185/100. What is going on? I’ll check it again in a bit and make sure it goes down. I’ll call the doctor tomorrow if it is still too high. I ate some Chex Mix today that has a lot of salt in it and is food I normally don’t eat. I don’t know if that makes a difference or not. Something feels off inside but I don’t know what it is. Last night I thought I was getting either a UTI or a kidney stone but have had no symptoms of that today. Hmmm….. Just what is my body trying to tell me? Just took it again and it is 135/86. Up down Up down!
Today has been a better day than yesterday was for me. My mood was much higher and more level. I was able to walk out of the muck pond I was in yesterday and didn’t look back. Today felt easy and grace-filled. If I could get my blood pressure thing fixed it would be icing on my wonderful cake of life.
Grateful to have found a house sitter, grateful tax shift went easy, and grateful I was able to walk out of the muck pond and have a good day today.
