Empty space at last! Nothing to do until 5:00 this evening! The house is empty and I am so enjoying the peace and quiet. My soul is being refilled!
Went down to the chicken coop this morning to put up the mesh tarp I bought earlier this week. It will give them some more shade from the hot, summer sun. All three water containers were empty so had to make two trips down with a five-gallon bucket of water to fill them up. Picked up four eggs while I was down there.
Got the guest room reset this morning and their towels washed up and replaced. They are neat people so not a lot to do to reset their room. They are only working at the dig site until noon today then will come back to the house for the afternoon. They are returning to the dig site tonight for a lecture of some sort.
I took a short nap yesterday and had trouble sleeping last night as a result. I thought I was tired when I went to bed but had trouble falling asleep and then kept waking up off and on all night. Makes for a long night when that happens. Now today I am sleepy again. Will do my best not to take a nap so I don’t repeat this cycle.
Have two tea towels of the next set completed and the third one almost half done. Sure makes my eyes tired to do embroidery work these days. Never used to have that problem. Must be a sign of my old age!
Got a note from my Endocrinologist yesterday regarding the results of the three blood tests I had done last week. She said there was no sign of cancer in any of them! I appreciate the fact that she always takes the time to send me a note regarding the tests she orders. Some Doctors don’t do that. I have my Ultrasound Monday and then see her the following Monday. Two trips to Topeka coming up for me as well as a trip to KC tomorrow.
I am surprised I don’t need to mow this week. It has been almost a week since I mowed but the grass isn’t growing much right now. We really need some good rain. It is turning brown already in lots of spots. Way early in the summer for it to be doing that. We never have received a good long day of rain this spring.
It is going to be a hot one today. I wanted to get out and take another long walk but I waited too long and it is too hot to do so now. My heart was racing a bit after doing the chicken chores this morning. It hasn’t done that since I was in Rome. Sure wish I knew what caused it to do that. Maybe the Nuclear Heart Stress Test I am having next week will tell me something.
Sitting with a quiet mind today. Drawing energy from the peace and quiet around me. Basking in “being” and not “doing” today. I forget how important it is to my soul to allow myself to take the time to “be”.
Grateful for an empty house this morning, grateful for a note from my Doctor, and grateful my soul is being refilled and recharged!
