Kathy and I went to a friend’s house last night and sat out on their deck and watched the full harvest moon rise. What a perfect evening to moon and star watch. It was a balm to my soul. I watched the lunar eclipse after I got home. It was a beautiful evening to feast my eyes on the beauty of Mother Nature.

I had trouble finding sleep last night. I woke up in the middle of the night not feeling very good. I was up for a couple hours and finally found some more sleep.

I took Sophia for a walk around 9:00 this morning. I finished Sophia’s walk and then was taking Roxy when the washing machine delivery guys called me. They were about 30 minutes early. We rushed home so they could get the new washer installed. That process went quickly and smoothly. It is nice to have a washer again.

I took a long nap this afternoon. I wasn’t going to be productive at anything if I stayed up and I didn’t have anything that had to be done so I gifted myself a nap. I felt better when I got up but have no energy today. It has been a good day to rest.

No plans for tomorrow. I have a grocery list of things I need but they can all wait till I go to town on Friday for exercise. Maybe tomorrow I can get another room deep cleaned.

Feeling a bit disconnected and down today. My body seems to need a day like that weekly. It helps me appreciate the good ones better if nothing else. I have learned to allow myself to slide down into the muck pond and wallow in the mud for a bit. Thank heavens my time spent there usually doesn’t last long.

Grateful for a long afternoon nap, grateful for the new washer, and grateful to know I will be able to climb out of the muck pond soon.
