This has been a rest and recovery day. I am doing a couple loads of laundry but other than that nothing.
I laid down to take a nap around 2:30 and just woke up at 11:00. Best stretch of sleep I have had since I got home from India and Nepal. Probably won’t sleep again tonight but it was worth it to get sleep.
Loaned my knee scooter out again. I think this is at least the 8th person that has gotten use out of this scooter. It has gotten lots of use over the years. Grateful I kept it and it is finding value to others.
Tomorrow (or it it still today) I need to do some paperwork and get a few things taken care of. Maybe I will do them tonight as I won’t be able to sleep. I need to review the paperwork for the not for profit status for Love in Action and get it back to the attorney to complete. I also need to reconcile my accounting records. A lady let me know her check hadn’t cleared which explains why I was off $10 and I couldn’t figure out what happened. I must have thrown away her check without depositing it. I had come up with a system to prevent that after her check disappeared. Grateful she let me know about it and I solved my $10 discrepancy.
I also need to send some pictures of Kathy’s car to the insurance company so that claim can get finalized. I couldn’t figure out the easy way to do it so they sent me a second way. If this doesn’t work they will send an adjuster to come handle it. Still not sure why they need pictures of the inside of the car when the outside door was what was damaged.
I have some way overdue housecleaning that needs done. I should have gotten to it before Thanksgiving but I didn’t. It is starting to bug me and I need to get it done. Not sure I can do it while Kathy is sleeping but I want to get to it in the morning after she wakes up.
Phil got the dog pen moved back behind the house today. He even fixed the dog house that had some repairs that needed done to it. It will be nice to have the dogs closer to the house again and easier to get to if the weather gets bad. I need to get a concrete pad poured that leads from the new back door to the opening of the dog pen. Don’t think that can happen before winter though. The guy that did my sidewalks didn’t respond to my text so thinking he has left the country. Maybe he does every winter and will get back to me next spring.
I have three sympathy cards that I need to write and send out. Hard time of the year to lose a loved one – but then again anytime is a hard time to say goodbye. I think I have some on hand, if not I will have to go to Dollar General and get some.
Made a big bowl of ham salad today with the leftover ham from Thanksgiving. It makes a good snack and I will enjoy eating on it for the next couple of days.
No plans to leave the house this weekend. I have plenty of things that need done here to keep me busy.
Next week looks fairly open. I have to go to Topeka Thursday for an eye doctor appointment. Trying to think if I have anything I need for Christmas presents while I am there. I don’t give many presents anymore so doubt that I come up with anything. I do need to get the stuff to make our families favorite Christmas treats but I can do that in Emporia.
Grateful for some quiet time ahead, grateful for sleep at last even if it didn’t come at the right time of day, and grateful to figure out why I wasn’t balancing my Love in Action books.
