Another quiet, cloudy day in Stillwater. I haven’t gotten anything done yet today. Jim just went out to work on the west side of the house. He has to get some stuff done before I can start painting that side of the house. Maybe I’ll get some painting in yet today if the rain doesn’t beat me to it.
We did take a 2 1/2 mile walk today. It is in the mid 70’s today but it is cloudy and humid. Sure feels like it could rain. There is a lot of moisture in the air.
Having heart spells again today. When I woke up this morning my pulse was 40. It got up to 110 on our walk but has settled back down to the 60’s now. My BP was high yesterday but low this morning. I’m getting tired of this roller coaster. Sure hope the doctor has some answers for me next week when I go in.
Have a pot roast in the crock pot cooking for dinner tonight. Sure makes the house smell good this afternoon.
I did get the bathroom cleaned this morning. It was disgustingly dirty. I kept forgetting to clean it. I haven’t been on a regular cleaning schedule here like I used to keep at my house in the country. Hoping I can get back on a schedule when we get home.
I got some good sleep last night. After a night of little sleep it was good I got some sleep. I was tired this afternoon but decided not to take a nap and start that cycle over again.
I have my volunteer shift with the Crisis Text Hot Line tonight from 10:00 to midnight. I hope I can stay awake that long and stay engaged with my texters. They usually keep me on my toes and wake me up. I usually have trouble going to sleep for a bit after my shift is over. I have to take time to process the calls and release the energy that I picked up during our exchanges.
Mailed four letters this morning. I haven’t written any today yet. They seem to come in spurts – I can only write when the urge hits me. When I get home and have my address book I’ll be able to write more to people I haven’t written to yet.
Only have four more full days here before we head north. Saturday and Sunday I will need to get Jim’s yard all mowed up. We will be back here June 12 – 10 so will need to mow again when we get back the 12th and again the 19th before we leave again. Jim has hired a high school kid to come mow for July.
I have started a list of things I want to take to KS with me. Since we are coming back the 12th I don’t have to worry so much about getting everything the first time we go home. We will be able to take another load north on the 19th. We will take Jim’s Mazda home that time and I’m sure load both cars full again.
Sometimes I feel so guilty that my life hasn’t hardly been effected by Covid19 compared to those that have lost their jobs, gotten sick or lost a lot of income. Other than not eating out much and not going home as scheduled we really can’t tell their is a pandemic happening. My heart goes out to those seriously effected.
Grateful for a long walk today, grateful for the smell of dinner cooking, and grateful I get to be in service tonight.
