Going to the chapel and we’re going to get married! Tomorrow afternoon at 2:00! There will be five of us gathered for the deed. Celebration to follow after this madness is over.
Spent a quiet day at home. We did go to Boomer Lake and took a three mile walk. It was a beautiful day here in Stillwater – mid 70’s and the sun even came out to play for part of the day. It felt so good to get outside and take a long walk. There were lots of people out walking. As we passed people we gave each other lots of space.
I came home and took a two hour nap. I didn’t think I was that tired but decided to lay down and treat myself to a short rest. I feel asleep quickly and slept hard for over two hours. I’m still a bit tired tonight. Thinking it is emotional tiredness as much as physical tiredness. I have hit overwhelm a bit with all the bad news and changing of plans.
There was a post on Facebook tonight about a couple from Council Grove that have been diagnosed with the Coronavirus. They had traveled earlier in the month to the Caribbean and had returned to Council Grove March 11. Over the weekend they were in Strong City and ate at Ad Astra obviously while they were contagious and before they were showing signs of being sick. Sure points out how important isolation is and why it is important that restaurants close.
My soul hurts tonight. So many are posting about loosing their jobs, no income, little food in the house, more questions than answers. Time for all of us to step it up but hard to know how to help. Self isolating is one step I can take but that doesn’t feel enough. Spending time sending positive, healing energy out to the world.
Did a bit of painting this morning. I have two more cabinet doors almost done. Have one more part to paint on them tomorrow and they will be done. Running out of projects to work on which is not a good thing right now. I need to keep busy right now. Jim said he would find some projects for me tomorrow.
What crazy times. The mom in me wants to retreat to my country home and have all my kids come home and stay with me. It is so hard to know what to do and keep up with all the changing news. My heart hurts for those that are in financial distress and those that are sick. Time for me to step it up and help out in some way. Figuring out how to do that safely is hard right now. Trusting a path will be cleared in front of me and I can find a way to lighten the load.
Much love to each of you. Reach out if I can help in any way.
Grateful for unplanned naps, grateful for long walks in the great outdoors, and grateful that tomorrow I am getting married!
Wishing you both the very best. Sending hugs to you from Maine!!🍾❤❤
