It was a beautiful night to stand outside and watch the lunar eclipse. I started going out around 1:00 and went out about every 15 minutes until 3:00. The moon turned blood red and slowly the white appeared. Mother Nature is the best!
I went to Emporia around noon to open a new business banking account and to open a CD. The first bank I stopped at didn’t know how to open a business account and the lady that does them was at lunch and no one really knew when she would be back.
I went to a different bank and they require I have a personal account before they could open a business account. I didn’t need a personal account so I left.
Went to a third bank and because I use my social security number as my business account number they couldn’t open a business account.
Went to a fourth bank and found a very competent person. We were in the process of getting the two accounts open and the power went off. I have to go back Monday to sign papers and finally deposit the proceeds check from the close on the sell of the house yesterday.
Wowsers. Four tries to complete what I thought would be a simple banking issue and it still isn’t finished. Wonder what my lesson in all of this is?
The drive home was a bit scary. The wind was blowing so hard I couldn’t see homes that were off the road a bit. I held my breath when I passed a semi as it was blowing all over the road. I was going to stop for lunch in Strong City but we had a sudden downpour and I decided to go home. Days like this make me grateful I no longer own the house on top of a hill. I can tell it is windy in town but not near like it is out on the hill.
It is still weird looking outside. The sky is a funny color and there is a lot of dust and debris in the air. Feels like there is a lot of unsettled weather happening somewhere close. Not sure we will get any rain out of it but we shall see.
I still need to find the courage to call the insurance company and make a second attempt to cancel the insurance. Not sure why this sale has turned into a never ending saga of issues.
I don’t have any plans for the weekend. Next week I have something everyday Monday through Thursday. I’ll take it slow this weekend and make sure I have enough energy to get through the busy week I have scheduled.
Feeling a bit disconnected this afternoon. Wondering why investing these funds is so hard. I will take some time and step back and see if I can see a different perspective on this. When things aren’t easy it is usually because there is a lesson in it for me and I have learned to let go and pause for a bit. Maybe something will become clearer to me this weekend.
Grateful for a safe trip home in the high wind, grateful I found a bank that will be able to take care of the business need, and grateful for a safe house to be in out of the wind.
