Went to Emporia this morning to have my blood draw to check my TSH levels for my thyroid. I was surprised when the results came back and they were too high – 5.75. The levels were even higher this time than last time. I had expected them to be too low. I haven’t heard from the doctor yet about a medication change. Man! I get so frustrated when my levels are not in balance. Wish I could figure this out.
Dropped off some Chex Mix to the grandkids. I am betting that at least one bag has already been eaten this evening. They sure love that stuff.
I have enjoyed a very quiet afternoon at home. I had forgotten how much I enjoy being home alone on a beautiful fall day. It was lovely walking down to take care of the chickens. It is a bit windy on the prairie today but what would the prairie be like if the wind didn’t blow?
Tomorrow the guys are coming to work on the windows. They will be here most of the day. I will hang around the house just in case they need inside for something. It will be good to finally get that project finished. It has been on my pending list for months.
I’m a bit tired this evening. I woke up at 5:00 this morning and couldn’t go back to sleep. I thought about taking a nap but decided against it and am hoping I will be able to sleep more than three hours tonight. We shall see if that was wise. I need to be up and dressed before 8:30 in case the window guys come early. It may be early to bed tonight for me.
I need to fix myself a decent dinner tonight. It has been a few days since I have felt like eating and cooking a meal. Feels good to feel hungry again.
Trying to think of something fun to do on Friday. I may drive to Wichita, Topeka or KC for the day but not sure yet. Staying home alone has been so nice that maybe staying home is what I need most. I thought about going to Emporia and getting a pedicure. I haven’t had one for years and I enjoy them occasionally. I need to treat myself somehow – just haven’t figure out what I want yet.
I’m holding a major life decision in my hands and am not sure what to do. I’ve been working on balancing my head with my gut and my heart today. I feel my head pulling me one way, my heart says something different and my gut is pulling me another way. When I can get them to agree I feel better and know that is the way to go. Easier said than done sometimes though. Needless to say, I won’t do anything until I get all three on board with the same conclusion.
Life sure is funny. I think I have things figured out and then curve balls come from left field and throw me off balance yet again. I’m not sure there are wrong answers, just different paths to travel. Consequences for my choice will be played out regardless which way I choose.
Grateful for this time alone, grateful for my energy healing knowledge, and grateful I don’t have to make a decision today.
