A quick trip to KC today. I didn’t find the main thing I went for which was a dress or skirt for my trip. We went to Kohl’s but the only one I liked they didn’t have in my size. I’ll figure something out I’m sure.
Had Lunch at Panera. I was hungry and didn’t take my time ordering and ask the right questions. The salad I got had a dressing on it that had sugar in it. I took one bite of the salad and didn’t eat the rest. It was way too sweet. We looked up the ingredients on-line and discovered the second ingredient in the dressing was cane sugar. I had ordered a bowl of black bean soup so ate that. I didn’t get my veggies in for lunch. I got a fruit cup with my salad and ate over half of it. Got a headache from the bite of sugar and too much fruit. Learned a good lesson though!
Went to Costco and picked up a few things. They didn’t have two of the things I was looking for. We went to IKEA and I got some lamps and a round table for the library. I’ll have to put them together when I am not so tired.
Got home around 3:30 so it was a quick trip up and back. Always good to see Nicole. She loaned me two purses for me to use on our trip. I took her a printed copy of all the vouchers and tickets we will need in Italy. She is better at keeping track of that stuff than I am.
We moved the two baby chickens into the big house last night after dark. They were huddled in a corner of the coop yard this morning and this afternoon are hiding between the dog crate and the chicken coop. The big one stands over the little one to protect it. Trusting all will adjust and things will settle down soon. The little one sure is small. We had to lower the feed container so she can reach it.
Tomorrow I have to be in Topeka by 9:15 for my Cardiologist appointment. Anxious to hear what he has to say. Best case is I will get off the blood thinner medication and he will take a wait and see approach before he does anything else. Can one have Atrial Flutter a few times and then not have it again? Guess I will find out tomorrow.
Storms are moving in. We are under a tornado watch for the evening. Sure is quiet and the air is heavy right now. I want the rain that a storm may blow in. Radar doesn’t look too promising that we will get much. Time will tell. Glad I beat the storms home today so I can watch them from inside my house and not on the highway.
When I get home tomorrow I will need to clean house for the guests that are coming Friday evening. I have the beds made in all the bedrooms so will just have to dust and do floors and clean the bathrooms. Maybe if we get some rain tonight the dust won’t blow in so quick and things will stay clean longer.
Need to call and get my international phone service ordered as well as notifying my banks that I will be out of the country. Need to get myself organized and ready to go.
Feeling a bit ungrounded today. City energy tends to do that to me. Right now the wind is calm so may go out and take a walk and see if I can get re-centered.
Grateful for a safe trip to KC and home again., grateful the baby chicks are still alive, and grateful I learned a good lesson on how to eat out and the need to ask questions.
