SATURDAY BABY SITTING HAPPENED. I went over about 8:45 am and stayed until 3 or so. He was the best lil guy. He's nearly 3 years old and letting it be known when he needs to use the toilet. Watching CURIOUS GEORGE videos kept him busy while I read. I still like the CURIOUS GEORGE videos myself.
I took a few pics of him as he watched George and got tickled how squirmy his body was, but his face stayed focused at the computer screen. He loves CURIOUS GEORGE.
For now this is one of his favorites.
I really thought he'd be very unhappy when he'd have to stop watching George when time to eat, but he wasn't. I fixed him a small lunch, had it ready when I went over to the computer closing the lid as I told him it was time for LUNCH. He ran over to his chair and ate. As he drank his milk from a Sippy Cup, he began to get heavy lidded and I knew he would be ready for a nap after LUNCH.
It all went very well. I told him when he finished his LUNCH that he needed to use the toilet then take a NAP. He got out of his chair and started to whimper for his mom. I told him she'd be HOME later. He stopped and requested his tiny pillow from the sofa, so I told him I'd get it and then he wanted some books. I told him he could get them. He covered himself up with a blanket, lied down and started looking at a book.
I walked out of his room and went to the living room to sit. About 5 minutes later I checked on him and he was asleep with the book over his face. I removed the books from his bed and went to have some quiet time in the living room.
His folks were on their way back to the house by this time. Actually the Baby sitting job went FAST. Went HOME and took a NAP for myself. Tired. SO tired.
On Friday, I went to have some LABS done for my yearly thyroid exam. By evening the numbers were in my health portal. No wonder I'm so tired and somewhat sad. My TSH numbers are way too low so I will lower the dose of my medicine and see the ENDOCRINOLOGIST later in October. I believe my numbers are wonky low because of a couple of medicines I started taking. I believe it has messed with me. humph.
We went to Topeka for the labs, ate lunch and stopped off at SAMs. It was a short trip for the day, but always a pleasure to get away for a few hours also seeing the gorgeous Prairie landscape displaying seasonal beauty along the highways and byways. AUTUMN colors are coming forth and I can't help but admire them in all their glory. I know cold weather is coming and it isn't what I look forward to, but if I focus on the beauty of the landscape knowing we're one day closer to SPRING I should be alright. Appreciating the differences in NATURE is far better than shivering in the cold. Bundle up Buttercup.
I had time to rethink about having a miniature vegetable garden next SPRING beside the house where the sun will hit. I believe it will be for the best to stay with miniature veggies in this small spot that we will work up next SPRING. Cherry Tomatoes, Baby Cucumbers, Scallion Onions, Bibb Lettuce, miniature Peppers will be the produce to grow in this spot. A SALAD GARDEN.
There's an area alongside the Garage that might work for Carrots, New Potatoes, Squash and Zucchini.
AUTUMN clean-up. I need to clear out the containers that held our tiny tomatoes and peppers this year along the house. The abundant crop did super and blessed us with such tasty produce.
I dead headed some of the mums out front of the porch. The blossoms were plenty and I'm hoping to have more during AUTUMN. It's the best I can do right now for front porch decor. Giving it some thought where I will WINTER the Geraniums before ice cold weather comes. With the temps in the 60s, it's lovely to have the screen window on the storm door open. The air conditioning was turned off and fresh air is coming into the house.
THIS WEEK-END, I need to return to walking at the football field and track. I've stayed busy, but haven't deliberately walked my mile each day. STILL, I've made a conscious effort to stay in motion.
With my thyroid numbers too low, I really can tell that I am fatigue more so than normal. Waiting for the numbers to rise will take a couple of weeks. This bothers me as I wait, but there isn't much I can do about it other than to faithfully take the meds on an empty stomach and WAIT. Keep on keeping on staying busy.
AUTUMN is here where I purchased a ceramic pumpkin at a thrift shoppe. She'll go in the center of the dining room table. I had better get busy decorating the porch as time flies so quickly where HOLIDAY decorating changes her theme toward the CHRISTMAS tune.
While shopping at the thrift shoppe, a lovely Amish women with four daughters arrived in their car all dressed in their religious attire. These peeps were not in horse and buggy. No pics. They purchased plain colored men's shirts. I know the mom got a bargain on the clothing as the prices are competitive. $6 per shirt instead of $60 from the mall. A few years back, the shirts would have been a dollar.
I wish I had decorated the porch in September for AUTUMN. Gosh, if I could just get my act together I'd be ahead of the game. The gorgeous decorating I have seen on videos and pictures makes my heart swoon. 💕💕💕💕💕💕💕
