Went into Emporia this morning to pick up a prescription and some batteries for my bathroom scale. Stopped and got a pedicure while I was close by. She didn’t do a great job but my feet aren’t as rough as they were. Maybe if I had a pedicure more than once a year they wouldn’t get so rough.
Made an appointment for next Tuesday to take the cats in for their annual vet visit. While I am at the office I will need to make an appointment to take Roxy in for her annual visit. Decided not to try to take Roxy and the cats at the same time. There is a limit to my madness quota.
Got my Visa for the Australia trip. Nicole had reminded me yesterday I needed to take care of that. Their website was easy and I got notification right away that I am set and ready to go. It is a paperless Visa that is accessed via my passport records by Immigrations in Australia. New Zealand doesn’t require one. Now I need to transfer some funds from savings to checking so I can pay the balance of the trip. It is due August 1.
Signed up to have access on-line for my new prescription and medical plans. Now to remember user names and passwords! Still not sure how my prescriptions get transferred to the new insurance but I refilled all of them this week so have some time to figure that out. I will set an alert on my calendar extra early when it gets close to getting them refilled again so I have time to get refills of everything. Still trusting that I can get off of some of my medication when I go see the Cardiologist in August and my family Doctor later this month.
Kathy cleaned out the chicken coop for me today. She said she had been out exercising and was hot and sweaty so decided to go ahead and get it done. I was up early enough to go out and do it this morning but decided to listen to a Webinar for a class I am taking and forgot about going out and cleaning the coop. Thanks Kathy – I appreciate you!
Realized this morning it has been a bit since I changed the sheets on my own beds. I make so many beds I forget the beds I am making and changing sheets on is not my own. I love fresh linens on a bed. Think I will treat myself today and get them washed up.
So far I have a very light schedule next week. I will have three guests in the house all week next week but other than freshening up their rooms daily I don’t have much on my calendar. It will be nice to have a quiet, slow week. Feels like a long time since I have had empty space several days in a row. Sunday will be busy as I have to flip two rooms but thankfully the guests coming in Sunday afternoon are both staying all week so I won’t have to flip the rooms again until Friday and Saturday.
My handyman is picking up the doors I ordered tomorrow and will stop and get the glass pieces and quarter-round on his way home. I am getting excited about seeing the stained glass pieces up.
My other handyman has not come back yet to finish staining and installing the baseboard in the basement. He put the piece in and said he would be back within a couple of days and finish it. If he doesn’t come this weekend I’ll have to call him Monday and remind him to come finish the job. I have already paid him for the work – thinking I should have held part of it back so he would have some motivation to come finish the job
Saw a beautiful rainbow last night. We missed the pop up showers that were all around me. The consultation prize of a rainbow is beautiful but I really need the rain.
Considering biting the bullet and ordering some sort of shades for the west windows in the living room. I need to do something to reduce my electric bill. Anyone have any expertise in shades and or blinds and want to advice me? I haven’t done so before because I don’t know what I am doing and don’t want to ruin the look of the windows by getting the wrong thing. Thinking they might have to be custom ordered due to the size of the windows. I don’t want to order the wrong thing and be stuck with them because they were expensive. Are their companies that would come out and measure them for me and help me pick out the right thing?
Still staying in my peaceful valley. Had one day last week where I was grumpy and felt like I took a quick dip in the muck pond. I was able to recognize I had fallen in and was able to regroup and get out of it quickly.
Grateful for kinda smooth feet, grateful for easy on-line access to get a Visa and information about my medical plans, and grateful for a clean chicken coop.
