Even though I am exhausted, today is feeling like a good day. The hens are loving the sunshine, too. A few weeks ago, a young friend said she might be able to come for 30 minutes each week or maybe an hour to help me. I assured her 30 minutes would be great. And, I will not allow her to do "one more thing," even if I need 40 more things just to see the end.
1) Today, she came and washed both my crockpots outdoors, plus some utensils in one. So. I am set and can cook 4 lbs of ground beef in one and five pounds of boneless, skinless breast I bought for $1.79/lb.
2) Then, my Weather Radio came. I sent in the letter they sent me to send back, but it was late. I emailed and told her how ill I had been and could I have a few days grace. She agreed and I have my weather radio.
3) As I was looking in a tiny bag I keep packed for traveling, I found the prescription of cream I lost. So, that mystery is settled! The bag is about 6"x6"x9" and holds soap, toothbrush and paste, Q-tips and such. So, why I ever stuck a prescription in there and did not find it sooner remains a minor mystery. But, it is found! And, I can use it.
That is my day in three bullets. It is funny how just a few things can lift a person's spirits.
4) I will add the church dinner tonight as a good thing. I do eat here, but a cooked, balanced meal is definitely a happy thing.
UPDATE: I brought enough home to feed hens for three days--lots of half-eaten baked potatoes, baked beans, slaw, remnants of pulled pork. And, there was whole baked potato, never cut for me. I call that dinner one night.
Your turn
How was your day? Anything happen to lift your spirits? Now, I did not ask about your lifting of spirits!
Sitting in the sun a bit was good for me. Now, lying in bed will be another good thing today.
Yay for good things. They make a huge difference. Even the smallest of good things.
ReplyDeleteEC,
DeleteThe small things do make a difference. Of course, today I am depending on a sunshine hangover from yesterday to handle the gloom and rain. Spring has sprung.
I am so glad that things are on the upswing. You deserve to have things work out for you.
ReplyDeleteSonya Ann,
DeleteI was so ill that everything was magnified. Real, but so hard to bear. Thanks.
I'm glad you're was good. Mine just started 20-minutes ago.
ReplyDeleteSnow,
DeleteHopefully, it will be good for a long time! For you and for me! Thanks.
How was your church dinner? What did you have to eat?
ReplyDeleteChurch dinner was delicious--pulled pork, bbq sauce for meat,baked potato, cole slaw, baked beans, peach cobbler with ice cream. I brought lots home for hens and a baked potato for me to bring home. Hens ate for two days. I halved the baked potato and sent it home with exbf.
DeleteKnowing you had a happy day means my happy day is a little happier! Happiness is contagious :-)
