This has been a quiet day. I did go to Emporia to pick up a cake and stop at Walmart for ice cream to go with the cake. Came home and took a chair nap for two hours.
I got the game we are doing tomorrow ready but other than that have done nothing else today except make the bourbon slush. I was going to make New Year’s Cookies but decided they could wait till next week. I needed a day of rest so I could be rested and have more fun tomorrow.
The insurance company that is settling the claim from when the neighbor backed into Kathy’s car called and they are sending an adjuster to me next week. I really disliked them having me take pictures and do the work for them. We shall see what they offer.
Tomorrow all I have to fix is Macaroni and Cheese and a green bean casserole. The kids are bringing the rest of the meal. While the kids are here I am going to have them help me move the stuff that is on the front porch to the new addition. It will be nice to have a clutter free porch again.
Next week I have a Cardiologist appointment Thursday. I want to go to Wichita one day next week as I am overdue for a shopping haul at Costco. I would like to go see my Aunt while I am in town. I’ll have to find a day and make it happen. The weather is to be delightful next week so it will be a good time to go.
The heating and air guys are to come next Wednesday and finally get that job done. I hope they don’t make too big of a mess cutting the vents. Phil is planning on being here to supervise which makes me feel better as he always cleans up after himself well. I also like knowing he is watching them as I know he will make sure they do the job correctly.
Nicole called today and said what I had been thinking that our trip to India and Nepal was only three weeks ago according to the calendar but it feels like it was months ago. We both hit the ground running preparing for Thanksgiving and I don’t think I have slowed down much since then. My relationship with time is wacky.
Looking forward to tomorrow and having the kids home. It will be good to have Christmas over and I can start thinking about 2026. I am not a goal setter but I do like to set intentions for my personal growth. I chose a word each year that helps me stay focused on what I want to accomplish personally.
I look forward to Winter Solstice and the return of the light. I do better when the days have more light. Time to name and claim my gifts and allow them to come into bloom in the New Year.
Grateful for a restful day, grateful tomorrow is family day, and grateful most of my projects and pending items are all coming to a close.
