Got a text from the window installers at 6:45 this morning asking if we had snow falling. It woke me up. I answered it was lightly snowing and we had less than an inch. No response.
The installers showed up a little before 9:00. The person that had texted had never read my response. Needless to say they were unable to install the remaining two windows as by 9:00 we had a couple inches of snow. They came inside and changed out the hardware on the windows. They had been installed with the wrong color. They also finished installing the handles so the windows can be opened and closed easier.
They unloaded the two remaining windows into the garage and will return another day when there is no snow to install them. Makes me wonder why he texted if he wasn’t going to take my word for it. Oh well, the round trip from Manhattan is on them and not me.
I had to pay them for most of the cost of the windows today. I am struggling to get an invoice from them that I can send to my insurance guy. It will get figured out – sooner or later.
Not sure if it is the snow or if I was worn out from yesterday but I am tired today. I didn’t sleep very well last night. I have taken two short naps in my chair today and still feel tired. I am just on this side of my last nerve so am grateful for a quiet day at home. One of those days that nothing feels easy for me.
I went to the website they gave me to register the windows and the link was broken. I had to call them and was able to do it over the phone. The guy that took the information seemed competent and I got an email confirmation that the windows are registered. Grateful that got done.
I have a list of people I need to call today. I need to schedule an oil change, get an appointment to balance my tires, call the heating company about Ellexia’s cold bedroom, check with my plumber about the booster pump and call the glass company about a broken window at Michelle’s house. Don’t have the energy to make any of those calls right now. Maybe later this afternoon or Monday I will be able to make them. If I run into a snag of any sort calling them, I feel like I might snap and it isn’t worth it. All can wait till a better day.
KU Research Program sent me about 10 surveys I had to answer. The last one I ran into a bit of struggle with as when I would answer one question, it would erase my answer from the question above it. I finally had to adjust my answers to get it to take the answer. I couldn’t answer all of them with the same rating. Oh well, it got done.
The snow is beautiful. We have gotten several inches of it. There has been no wind to blow it around. It looks heavy and wet. We need the moisture so am grateful for that. I will have to go down to take care of the chickens in a bit so will get to walk through it. We are still getting little flurries now and then. The forecast is calling for a wintery mix for the next several days. Next Monday night and into Tuesday we have high chances for lots more snow. Betting my trip to KC next Tuesday will get postponed.
One day soon I will need to get my second shingles shot scheduled. I want to make sure I have two or three free days afterwards in case I react like I did last time. I will wait to schedule it until I know for sure when I go back to KC. This visit is the one where they measure my exercise ability and I will need all the strength I have for that day.
No plans for the weekend. With this weather I am grateful I can stay tucked in at home and not get out. Next Wednesday looks like it will be clear but if we get lots of snow on Tuesday it may not be a good day to get out either. I’m grateful I am content to stay home for long periods of time.
Just one of those days where it is best that I keep myself in time-out and limit my interactions with others. I haven’t had a day like this is a long time. Guessing I wore myself out yesterday with all the brain testing and a second drive to KC in less than a week. I’m sure by tomorrow I will have my energy back and all will be well again.
Grateful for the beauty of the snow on the prairie, grateful for this quiet day at home, and grateful all is well!
