Another lazy day on the mountains. Haven’t done much today at all. Did get two dish rags knitted and have another one half way done.
We went grocery shopping this afternoon. Had to stand outside the grocery store to wait our time to go in. For some reason they are now limiting the number of people in the store. It was easier shopping today with less people in the store. Don’t know why they are enforcing limits now though and they weren’t earlier in the week.
We stopped and exchanged our bed and bath linens for fresh ones. Wish I had that service at home!
Yesterday evening we took a three mile walk around the grounds. We walked down to Tom and Sandy’s cabin and then walked home via the stables. It was a pretty night to be out walking. I had to walk fast when we started as I was cold but walking warmed me up. Saw a bunch of turkey’s down by the stables. They were eating their dinner along side the horses.
My allergies had gotten better yesterday but came back today with a double punch. Have had a bit of a sinus headache all day and have had to take allergy meds twice today. Sure wish they would go away and stay away.
Checked on the Crisis Text Hot Line last night and they were busy so I took four calls over the course of an hour and one half. All four were fairly easy and they were calmed down by the end of the call. I have a two hour shift tonight and then again tomorrow night. The later I sign on the busier they are. It is nice to get calls right away and not waste and hour waiting on a call. Last night I handled two calls at a time.
It has been cooler and a bit hazy most of the day here. Never did get any rain although once or twice we got a few sprinkles that didn’t last very long. I don’t think it reached 77 today. The fireplace will feel good again tonight. Jim went and got more wood so we can have a fire when we want.
We have 2:00 reservations tomorrow afternoon to get into RMNP. Jim has some place in the park he wants to take me to go hiking. We won’t be able to hike long as we are having dinner tomorrow night with his brothers at Joe’s cabin. That will be nice to eat “out” for a change.
I laid down this afternoon to take a nap after we got back from the grocery store but I wasn’t able to sleep. Hope I can stay awake long enough to do my hot line shift. The allergy drugs make me sleepy.
I actually fixed a meal tonight instead of eating left overs. It felt good to eat something fresh again. We went through most of our left overs so I get to cook again.
I am getting really good at doing nothing all day long. I don’t even feel guilty about it anymore. Sure hope I can break that habit when I get home though. Not sure I am cut out to do nothing all the time.
Grateful the grocery buying is done for several days, grateful for a cool day today, and grateful for fresh sheets on the bed for tonight.
