I have felt a bit “off” all day.  Not sure what is going on.  May just be one of those days.  I haven’t slept well the last couple of nights so maybe I am just tired.  Betting tomorrow will be better.

Our guest will be here shortly.  He let me know this afternoon it would be after 7:00 before he arrived.  Jim will enjoy visiting with him this evening.

I haven’t gotten much done today.  Just didn’t feel like doing anything and nothing was urgent so I took a rest day.  Sometimes it is easier to give in then to push through.  Usually when I push I screw things up anyways so might as well go the path of least resistance.

I went on-line to schedule our new vaccine with Walmart.  I was able to schedule mine with no problem but the system kicked me out before I was through with scheduling Jims.  I went back to start over and noticed the time I had picked for him was missing.  I thought maybe the request had gone through so I called Walmart to check.  The first time I called I got hold of someone that was hard for me to understand and was working out of a call center somewhere.  She told me they didn’t have the new vaccine which counter indicated what the web site said.  I’m not sure where she was located.  She was rather rude and not very informed.

I got frustrated with her and told her she wasn’t helpful and hung up on her.  I called back and got someone that was in the store.  The one I got this time said they didn’t have someone like that in the store so she wasn’t sure who I had talked to.  They do have the vaccine but in limited supply so I changed our appointment from next week to tomorrow as the lady thought they would be out by next week.  Maybe that is why I had trouble with Jim’s appointment which made me call the store.

Tomorrow night a few of my friends are gathering at my house to celebrate the Fall Equinox.  I’m grateful they are coming.  My soul needs this gathering and grounding time.  We will each set intentions of inner things that we want to change our relationship with.  I need to spend some time with myself and decide what those three things will be for me.

Sunday I am going over to Manhattan to visit some friends visiting from Ecuador.  I haven’t seen them for a long time so it will be nice to see them.  Another joint friend will also be joining us.  It will be a fun afternoon.  I think Jim is going to stay behind as he has a class to teach Monday and he needs to finish his notes and PowerPoint slides.

Monday we are gathering at my house to do the Pioneer Bluffs Newsletter.  So far we have five coming to help us so it will go fast.  I need to decide what I am going to fix for lunch.  We have room for more at the table and to help us stuff the Newsletter.  When there are lots of hands it turns the work into fun.  Come join us!

Jm stopped at the Vet’s office to pick up Tony’s insulin while he was in town today.  The cats and dogs all needed Bravecto and the dogs needed HeartGuard for the next three months.  Tony also needed needles.  Jim spent over $600.  Man!  Pets are expensive.

We have another sick chicken.  Jim predicted the last one would die but am hoping he is wrong on this one.  We have lost three the last month.  Still not sure what is wrong with them but not going to spend money to find out as sometimes there is no answer.

The temperature dropped today like a rock.  It was in the low 90’s earlier and is now 66.  I laid down for a bit this afternoon to try to get rid of a headache and the sound of the wind wore me out.  There is a storm blowing in that is to bring us some rain.  I welcome the rain but the wind can chill.  It is going to be sweater weather tomorrow as the high is going to be in the low 60’s.  I’m glad I got my fireplace fixed as I may need it in the morning.

Grateful we got our vaccines scheduled, grateful the pets have their meds for the next three months, and grateful our gathering is tomorrow.
