Got a text from my renter in Cottonwood Falls last night informing me that the drains in the house are not draining well. I sent a PM to Davis Drain Cleaning and they called this morning to let me know they would be there this afternoon to get it fixed. They came and quickly fixed the issue. I love doing business with local companies that honor their word, show up when they say they will and get the job done efficiently and professionally. That was easy!
Went to Wichita with a friend today. We both needed to pick up some things from Costco. We had lunch at Panera and then went to Costco. We both managed to fill our shopping carts fairly full. Filled the car up with gas at Costco and paid $2.70 a gallon. Not bad!
Stopped at the Subaru dealership on the way out of town and got a new battery put in my back-up key fob. The guy that did it remembered me from the last time I was there. I had attempted to replace the battery in the other fob myself and the spring fell out. He managed to fix it for me last time. He sure made replacing the battery look easy. They do it for free! That was easy!
Came home and got everything put away. I am stocked up for a bit on paper towels, toilet paper, trash bags and chicken. Bring on the cold winter weather next week.
It was a beautiful day for a drive through the Flint Hills. I’m grateful my friend went with me. It turned a chore into a delightful outing.
Nothing planned for the rest of the weekend. It is to be nice again tomorrow and then the cold weather starts to return Sunday and even colder weather comes in Monday through Wednesday. I don’t have anything on my calendar until next Thursday so I will tuck myself inside and ignore the cold weather outside.
Got the bank statement I was waiting for so now I can finish up my part of my taxes and get them taken to my accountant. It is always a relief when I turn them over to them. Have no idea how I will come out this year since I will be filing single this year. There are a few complications due to the divorce that the accountant will have to sort out. Somehow it will all get done and sorted through.
Booked one rider that is coming to town June 1 —4 for the Unbound Gravel Bike ride. I will try to find at least one, if not two more to book for that weekend too. They are usually easy guests as they are focused on the race and won’t be around here much. Rooms are hard for them to find and they appreciate having a quiet, comfortable place to stay. Easy way to make a little cash.
I’m finally starting to settle down a bit from earlier this week. This has been a hard week for me. Can’t quite put my finger on why that was other than it started after therapy Monday. I have felt restless and unsettled most of the week. I’ve had little energy and no motivation to do anything. Maybe I was coming down from all the emotion and stress from the last couple of months. I’m grateful I didn’t have anything on my calendar and I could give my body quiet time and not have to push through to do something.
Did some price checking on flights to Ireland and Scotland. It is cheapest to fly into Edinburgh and then take another flight to Ireland for the hike and then fly back to Scotland for the train trip. I priced a flight direct to Ireland and then home via Scotland and the price was over twice what a round trip ticket to Scotland will be. The little flight from Scotland to Ireland and then back to Scotland was very cheap. Still haven’t booked anything but getting close to doing so. I need to check out a few more companies and options before I make a final decision.
Grateful for a friend that came along for the ride today, grateful for Davis Drain Cleaning and their professional, prompt service, and grateful for the beautiful sunset this evening.
