Got a lot of work done on mask making today. Late afternoon more sheets and elastic showed up so will now need to cut sheets into strips and then into pieces and cut elastic into 7 inch lengths. This should be enough to finish up making all the flannel pieces I have cut. When these are done I am done for a bit. Time to move on and do something else with my time.

Got the dining room cleaned today. The chairs have non stick pads on the bottom of them and they collect dust bunnies whenever a chair is moved. Got all the bottoms of the chairs and tables washed cleaned. Replaced a few of the pads. Feels good to have that job done.

Took a long nap this afternoon. I haven’t felt peppy today and needed a long nap. I have a Crisis Hot Line shift tonight and needed some energy to get me through that. I feel better after my nap but still not as good as I have been feeling. Hoping it is just a down day and not something else going on. I’ve been quiet all day and a bit withdrawn.

Jim got the chicken coop fixed so the chicks can’t get underneath it. Last night when we went down to lock them up I did a quick count of the Amber Star white chickens. Two were missing. We found them hiding underneath the coop. It was a pain to get them out and tucked inside for the night. He took five wheelbarrows full of gravel and placed it around the bottom of the coop. Hoping that will keep the little darlings out from under the coop.

Tomorrow Jim teaches a class using Zoom. The class starts at 9:00 which is very early for Jim to be up and about. I trust it will go well. Using new technology is always a challenge. There is to be a technology expert in the class in case he runs into trouble.

I still have three full days of quarantine to go. Sunday morning I take my last antibiotic and then I can be released. Other than going to the doctor’s office I haven’t been off the property for over a week. It will be good to be able to go where I want when I want. I will be very frustrated and depressed if I get another relapse. Enough is enough!

Tuesday I am going to Wichita to take my phone to Best Buy to get the battery replaced. I also want to go to Costco and pick up some things. I haven’t been to Costco since this whole virus thing started. I have a long list of things I want to get

A week from tomorrow I take the dogs and cats to the vet for their annual physical and shots. I made two appointments and will take one dog and two cats to each appointment. That will be an expensive day. I also need to get Heartguard and nail clippers for the dogs.

Jim is going back to Stillwater the end of next week and stay until the middle of the next week. He has some painting he wants to get done before it gets cold. If I can find a housesitter I may go down for the weekend and come back the first part of the week. He wants to bring his other car up so I will take him down and come up by myself. He needs his car here so he can get it registered in KS.

Not sure why I have been so down today. I am not in the mood to talk and just want to hide today. Have had a bit of a headache all day and have felt off. Tomorrow is a new day and trusting I will be back on the path to getting well tomorrow.

Grateful for long naps on hard days, grateful for all the work I got done making masks today, and grateful the chicken coop is fixed.
