I got some sleep last night at last. But when that happens I usually feel even more tired the next day. Trusting I will get more sleep tonight.
Took the day off from preparing meals for the kids. The girls had to drive to KC this morning to pick up their brother. Kathy had a doctor’s appointment at 2:00 so we met them all there.
After the doctor’s appointment I came home and rested a bit. The others joined me at 5:00 and a lady came over with some information. Afterwards we had a family meeting.
The kids and Kathy left to go find dinner somewhere. I am going to go to bed early as I have to be up early. Sophia has to be in Marion before 8:30 in the morning so I have to get up and get going early. Sophia is getting a spa day and a haircut. Not sure that is her idea of a fun day but she needs some help for heat relief. Her coat is a mess and is heavy. This hot weather is hard on her.
Tomorrow afternoon and evening is family day. Some of my kids and grandkids are coming out as well as my two brothers. I am fixing a meal for all tomorrow night. It will be fun to have a house full of family.
The kids are leaving for home Friday morning. It will be a long drive for them but there are three in the car that will switch off driving. They have fun together so it will be a long but fun trip for them.
I have an event to go to Saturday at noon but have Friday free as a recovery day. Luckily my calendar for next week is wide open. It will be good to go back to “normal” around here.
Feeling a bit out of sorts tonight. Still haven’t heard from a surgeon so that is still pending. Waiting on that appointment to get set before I can proceed with some of the other pending items on my to do list. One of these days things will break open for me and I can proceed. Sitting in that in-between space is hard some days and this is one of the hard days.
Got a good lesson on nothing external being solid to ground into today. It is interesting to watch my own as well as other’s reactions when we are searching for solid ground and can’t find it. Wonder why that isn’t taught to us at some point in our lives. The sooner we figure out nothing is solid ground the faster we can turn inward and do our own work and find solid ground within.
Grateful for the hard conversations today, grateful for a day off from cooking, and grateful I can go to bed early tonight.
