Happy birthday daddy. He would have turned 91 today. Hard to think of him being that old. He had such a young, playful heart. I think of him often, especially when I am around my animals or mowing. I’m so very grateful for all the things he taught me and I feel his presence often.

I got another inch of rain overnight and this morning. It is another muck boot type of day on the prairie today. Looking forward to this weekend as it is to be sunny and warm all weekend. I’ll need to mow as soon as it dries out a bit.

Went into Emporia today to pick up a few things this morning. I needed some smaller pajamas as I kept getting all twisted up in my other ones as they were too big. Guess that is a nice problem to have though. Picked up ingredients to make some coconut milk ice cream that is sugar-free without using artificial sugar. I plan on making it tomorrow as I have to chill the coconut milk overnight before I can make it.

Finished cleaning my house yesterday. I love having a clean house but I don’t love cleaning it so it doesn’t get done often enough. May try to get the garage cleaned this afternoon if the mood strikes. It really needs it.

I have been trying to figure out the doctor bills from my two different foot surgeries. It seems to take a long time for some of them to bill me and for me to receive the insurance information on what they paid. Still don’t understand why the insurance company can write off so much of the bill. It all seems like a racket of some sort to me.

My mentor is going to be teaching a monthly class starting the 16th of May. I was excited when I saw the information on the class. I love the stuff he teaches and it helps me make sense of what is happening in the world right now. I have missed having a regularly schedule class to attend. He is coming the last weekend in May to teach a class in person in KC and I’m excited about that too. I have made good friends with several people I met through his classes and it is always good to see them as an extra bonus of taking his classes.

Another empty space type of day. Another rainy day on the prairie. All is well!
