Had another night of little sleep. I got out of bed at 2:00, tried to sleep again at 4:00 but no luck. Finally fell asleep around 6:00. Man, that makes for a long night when that happens.
A dear friend took me out for lunch for my birthday. It is always a good day when I get to have a deep conversation with one of my gang. Thanks! I enjoyed lunch and the conversation.
Came home from lunch and got a text from my trainer. She was sick today and had to cancel our session. That meant I didn’t have to go to Emporia today. Yeah! That felt like another birthday present.
I took a long nap instead of exercising today. It did my body good! I will take sleep wherever I can find it these days. I woke up hard though and it took me a bit to get going again.
I got a few things on my to do list done today. Still have some things that I will take care of tomorrow. Nothing on the list was urgent so it is easy to put it off.
Tonight I went to the old school and enjoyed a concert outdoors put on by Weda Skirts. I love their music and the weather was delightful to sit out and enjoy live music. Several of my dear friends were there and it was a beautiful evening under the stars. Makes me wish I had a camper and went to Winfield for the Bluegrass Festival there in September.
No plans for this weekend. I am hoping to have two stay at home days. I have a few little things to take care of but otherwise I will get to kick back and enjoy staying home. It is to warm up this weekend so will be a good weekend to stay inside.
So far next week looks to be a quiet week. I do need to schedule a trip to Wichita to go to the Subaru dealership and find out some things about my new car. If the week stays quiet, I will get a trip scheduled for later next week.
I got the papers back from my attorney confirming the deed to this house has been transferred out of the LLC and into my name. Grateful that project is completed and I can cross something off my pending list. I got the check in the mail to pay the attorney for doing that task for me.
A friend needed something notarized tonight. That was the first thing I have gotten to notarize. Trusting I remembered how to do it correctly. It has been a hot minute since I learned how to do it properly. I need to remember to put a reminder on my calendar to get my license renewed next summer.
The court house called and let me know the jury trial that I had been called to serve as a juror has been cancelled so I don’t have to think about that in September. This is the fourth time I have been called to serve in Chase County and haven’t had to show up even once yet. I wasn’t to serve until September 5 and am grateful they let me know well in advance that I don’t have to worry about it.
My dear friend from CA that I met on the Camino called to wish me a happy birthday today. It was good to hear from her and catch up on all the things she does. It was nine years ago this week that I began my 500 mile walk across Spain. Every year I pull out my blog from that journey and reread it. Still have trouble knowing that I actually walked 500 miles alone. It was one of the best things I have ever done.
This has been a great birthday week. I still haven’t taken time to respond to all the Facebook greetings. I will try to get that done tomorrow. I got a birthday card from someone that lives in Cottonwood Falls today and I don’t know who the person is. I have heard their name but I don’t think I have ever met them. Sweet of them to send one to me.
Grateful to get to hear live music this evening, grateful for lunch with a dear friend, and grateful for a long afternoon nap.
