Hot summer day in KS today. It is to be close or over 100 for the next five to six days. Too hot for me!
I got notice that United is refunding the flight that was cancelled. It hasn’t hit my bank account yet but trusting it will soon. They only refunded about 1/3 of the price but at least it is something.
The flight I booked on Southwest by mistake got refunded. Now I am just waiting on the travel insurance to see what they are going to pay out.
I put my heart monitor on this morning. They have simplified them from the last time I wore one. I have had to wear a sweater all day though as I need a pocket to put the phone like monitor in. It kept falling out of my pants pocket. I think I only have to wear it for 10 days but can’t remember for sure.
I got a notice from the Chase County Treasurer that my property taxes were over due. Oh my! I had paid the taxes on the country house early so they would be paid well before we closed on May 3. I went to Emporia and paid the taxes on the rental properties and completely forgot to go back to the Chase County courthouse to pay the taxes on my house in town. Luckily I got it paid before the delinquent payers get listed in the public publication.
As I was going to town for exercise I got a phone call from the back-up trainer to tell me my trainer had a death in her family and wouldn’t be there today. He was going to substitute but had a conflict so I need to do the exercise at home today. I needed groceries so I went ahead and went to town. I didn’t go to the Chiropractor as he is closed between 1:00 and 3:00 and I didn’t want to wait in town for him when I was done buying groceries. I will do the exercises later tonight when I cool down from my town adventure. I hadn’t bought groceries for several weeks so had a long list today and a full cart. I had to get dog food, cat food and cat litter in addition to stuff for me.
No plans for the weekend other than stay inside where it is cool. There is an event at Pioneer Bluffs Saturday that sounds interesting but not sure I want to be out in the heat. I’ll see what my mood is like and decide last minute if I go or not.
Still have a bit of a cough. It goes away for a while and then comes back and I cough lots for a bit. I haven’t had any more acid reflux symptoms but evidently I did some damage to my throat earlier this week and it is still healing. I trust it will go away soon.
Had trouble finding sleep last night. Sophia woke me up at 6:30 as she wanted to go potty. I got up and got dressed and then took her on a mile walk. When we got home I offered Roxy a walk but she declined. I took her for a shorter walk around 9:00. They both did their business this morning.
I am attempting to give up iced tea. I got some lemons and have been enjoying ice cold water with a lemon slice. Feeling a bit like my tank is empty this afternoon as I haven’t had any caffeine since Monday. It will take me another week or so to adjust and then I will be good to go. I am working hard to get back to eating on plan to help avoid another acid reflux flare.
I will be getting a whole beef from my local rancher later this month or early August. I only want 1/8 of it for myself so have lots extra to find a home for. Let me know if you might be interested and I can give you a price estimate. I never know how much it will weigh until butchering day. If I know ahead of time, you can specify how you want it cut. This is grass fed beef born and raised in the Flint Hills and does not go to a feed lot for finishing.
Still finding new ways I am reacting as a result of the plant medicine experience. Something happened today and I was able to pause and then react calmly and not get thrown off track. I love when that happens. Have a feeling I will have many more experiences like that coming up soon. I am definitely feeling more capable of speaking up for myself and that my people pleasing ways have changed.
Grateful groceries are replenished for a bit, grateful the pet food is restocked and grateful my taxes are paid.
