The EFIS guys came and finished their job. I sent them on my way with my gratitude and a big check to pay them. So very grateful I can cross that project off my pending list. It took seven and one half months to get that job done. Now to get the guttering done and the hail damage restoration job will be complete.

I went to Emporia early afternoon or exercise. I’m sorry the video we did this week is done. I really enjoyed it this week. It was mainly yoga and it is the first one that I felt like I was getting a good work out in. I had a different trainer today and we were joined by the guy that works out with me occasionally. He is half way through this program and goes to KU next week for his mid way check in and tests.

Went to Walmart after exercise to pick up some groceries. The store was a zoo. Guess people were out getting things for their Easter celebrations. Thankfully I didn’t have to wait long to check out but I did have to dodge people all through the store. Had to back up from an isle as there were some people visiting and were oblivious to others around them. Made it out alive – a bit cranky – but alive.

Came home and put things away. I got the Easter eggs stuffed for our Easter egg hunt tomorrow. Even the big kids still enjoy hunting for eggs. Hope it isn’t as windy tomorrow or the eggs may blow away.

Still need to get downstairs and get the bedroom and bathroom ready for guests tonight. Need to find some towels to take down as I emptied out the cabinet earlier this week not knowing I would have more guests in this house. Good thing they are family and deal with what they find down there. I have boxes and stuff piled downstairs in the great room and am not in the mood to move them.

I’m fixing a meat loaf, macaroni and cheese, roasted veggies and banana pudding for lunch tomorrow. Jason is fixing pig tails, mashed potatoes and gravy. Michelle is bringing our family’s traditional Easter Bunny cake. We will have plenty of food.

I think I get to stay home all weekend. I’m ready for two days at home. Monday I have to do taxes in the morning and then go to exercise. Wednesday I go twice to town to do taxes and exercise and then I go back again on Friday for exercise. Saturday I am helping at the Friends of the Library Book Sale in Emporia. It will be at least a five trip to town week.

The new lawn mower is to be delivered Monday morning and the new shed is to be delivered Friday. It will be another busy week for me.

Five weeks from today I will close on the sale of this house. It will be here before I know it. Thinking April is going to fly by with all the last minute stuff I need to deal with. Utilities to change over, final packing, etc. I think I can, I think I can.

Sitting in a good spot this afternoon. Have a bit more energy than I had yesterday. Haven’t gotten much done today but that is OK. I won’t have the luxury of taking do nothing days in the coming weeks so might as well take them when I can now.

Looking forward to family day tomorrow with all the kids. It will be our last one at this house. The house I am moving to will be a bit harder to have family days in as it is so much smaller than this one. Even the new house I am building will be a tight fit but we will make it happen anyways.

Grateful the EFIS job is completely crossed off my list, grateful I survived Walmart today, and grateful the kids are coming home tomorrow.
