I wasn't going to write but.. in Day to day life from a woman that turned 60 in Oct 2014 and who lives on a farm and Retired on January 2, 2016. I plan to do more sewing, work outside in the yard and just enjoy my retirement.

I have had a little burst of energy. It may not last long and I’ve already used some of it to prepare for Dude and family to return here from OK. A change in plans happened after Dudette got to her job and she was supposed to be off tomorrow day and work from 8pm to whenever tomorrow evening. Apparently someone can’t be at work tomorrow and the backup for that person has another appointment so Dudette will have to work tomorrow morning and evening. Long day for her after the 10hr drive to pick up the girls. Thankfully Dude decided to go with her, however, he has to work tomorrow too so I was asked if they could just come back here and the kids stay with me tomorrow. What else could I say but yes. I had this afternoon without kids, but dealt with Dad which is very similar to dealing with the kids. ;) I took the two grand boys to Pizza Hut for lunch and A showed up to pick up O to meet up with a good friend that took O fishing today. Then Dude showed up and picked up Isaiah and I met one of the buyers of the rabbits and we talked a minute and exchanged money for rabbits and since I had just found out today that she is expecting her 3d this winter, I added a flannel bunny at no charge for the coming arrival. It is baby proof and washable so it will be good for baby to chew on or tug on too.

After all the meet and greets were completed I headed to the place we get our vechicle worked on to pick up a front tractor tire that need to be fixed. Then I went back to the little store I bought Flax seed and stuff to use to make the rice/flex seed bags on Monday. I bought another bag of Flax seed today, a pint of apple jelly and a pint of raw honey. From there to Walmart and did my shopping and then to the Eye Center at Walmart to pick up my new glasses. I believe they will be fine, but since I had the current prescription lenses in since early morning, I decided to wait until in the morning when I wake up to put on the new glasses. Make tone down the nausea from the change in prescription strength. It worked last time so should this time too. At least I hope so. Also bought new clip on sun glasses for the new glasses so I’m ready to see clearly and shade my eyeballs from the sun when needed.

I was soooo tired before I even started home, but still had to take the tire to Dad’s. He then wanted me to rebandage a skinned place on his wrist and then came home and put the groceries away and started the washing machine. Made the guest bed back up since I stripped it this morning after Isaiah got up cause wasn’t expecting anyone here tonight. It is ready for whoever sleeps in the bed. I have Dude’s stuff on the sofa for him as he usually sleeps there and I’ve got some blankets and sheets for the girls. Then I get to do it again after they are gone but not going to get in such a hurry this time. Will wait until next week sometime before washing everything to make sure there are no more surprises.

Finally got the dishes done about 5 and since I had pizza I’m not hungry for supper. IF I get a little hungry before I go to bed I may try out the apple jelly I bought today.

So tomorrow morning, I’ll have the 3 grands here and not sure if they will be mellow from traveling, grumpy from traveling, or so full of energy they are like jumping jacks. I’m praying for a middle of ground on this. Prefer no grumpy, but they will learn, their grumpiness will make me grumpy. Their dad will pick them up tomorrow evening when he gets off work.

So I surprised myself by writing such a long and detailed account of my day. It is nice to go back and see what I did or didn’t do and who was here, if anyone. Guess that is the reason for a diary of sorts.

Take care and God Bless
