Mostly a quiet day at home. I did go to Emporia this morning to get my hair cut and pick up a prescription and a few groceries. It was good to get home. A friend I hadn’t seen for several years came in to the hair dressers as I was getting ready to leave so I sat and visited with her while the hair dresser cut her husband’s hair. It was good to see her.
I helped Jim replaced a long deck board this afternoon. I did some painting while the board was out and again when he got it in place. Jim sure is handy to have around when it comes to repairing things. The wood bees had eaten a hole in the plank and the dogs had dug it out creating a big hole. It is nice to have it replaced and looking good.
I took a nap again this afternoon. I haven’t had a bathroom emergency today but I have had six stools. Thinking I ate something yesterday that my tummy didn’t like. I have had mild to moderate cramping most of the day. Just when I think this stuff is over I have a day like today. Sure trusting tomorrow will be a better one. At least I wasn’t having to run to the bathroom – I will take that as progress.
We had leftovers for dinner again tonight. That makes putting dinner on the table easy for me. I plan on picking up some rotisserie chicken at Costco tomorrow while I am there and that is what we will have for dinner tomorrow night. I usually get two or three of their whole cooked chickens and put the meat in sandwich bags and freeze them. Makes lots of meals out of a $5 chicken.
Tomorrow morning I am going to KC to meet Nicole for lunch and do a Costco run. I also need to stop at Home Depot and get some 10 year battery life smoke detectors. I have a long list of things I need from Costco. I need to remember to take a freezer bag with me so things stay frozen on the trip home.
Jim didn’t make it to Stillwater this week. He is planning on going next week as he wants to go to an event in Tulsa a week from Saturday. He will come back to KS after that event. Not sure when he plans on leaving next week but am hoping he will get several days of work in on his house in Stillwater. He has a long list of things to do at both places.
I’m surprised at how tired I continue to be and how low my energy level is. I can feel it is starting to refill but certainly can’t run a marathon right now. I’m grateful I don’t have plans for the weekend as I am guessing I will be worn out when I get home from KC tomorrow late afternoon.
We leave for CO two weeks from Friday. I need to start making a list of things I want to take and start gathering things up. At the top of my list is sweat pants to put on in the evenings. I forgot them last year and struggled to stay warm enough at times. Jim is really looking forward to seeing his sons and their partners when they come the last week we are there. He hasn’t seen them since December 2019.
No word from any of my pending water fix it guys. I’m running out of time for them to get the repairs needed done before we leave for CO. Business must be good for them to cause them to run behind schedule.
My house needs me to find some time to clean it up again. It is reaching the point of no return. Maybe Friday and over the weekend I can find some energy and start getting it cleaned back up again. I just haven’t felt up to cleaning. Good thing the dirt waits for me.
Grateful for a hair cut and a chance to see a friend, grateful the deck board got replaced today, and grateful Jim will eat leftovers for dinner.
