I never did fall asleep last night. One of those nights where sleep was impossible to find. I took a nap this afternoon which knocked the rough edge off but am still very tired. Tonight may be the night I sleep around the clock!
Met some friends for lunch today. It is always a good day when I get to spend time with them. It does my soul good to have good conversation with friends.
I got the deposit from the US Treasury for the savings bond Max had. He had gotten it from our grandmother in 1986 and it had long ago stopped accruing interest. Good to have that taken care of.
Still waiting on the refund on the house insurance on one of the rentals I sold in July. They sent the check to my old address and had to reissue it. I was told two weeks ago they had put a rush on it. Wonder what would happen if they attempted to slow it down if this what they call a rush? Sure wish they had to pay interest and late fees as it has been two months now since I canceled that insurance.
A dear friend dropped off two gift cards for the Love in Action Detainee Christmas project. Only 60 to go and I will meet my goal. We can do this!
Phil has worked all day and almost has the roof of the addition shingled. I sure hope he is able to work most of the days next week and make lots more progress. He is a handyman and has to pull off when others have emergencies. He has pulled off other jobs to take care of my emergencies so I understand that will happen.
The exercise bike found a new home today. A lady had requested it two days ago and said she would be by to pick it up yesterday. It was still there early afternoon today so I went to the next person on the list and they came and got it. The lady that had requested it first came back this afternoon to see if it was still there. She hadn’t communicated with me that there would be a delay so I assumed she changed her mind about wanting it. You snooze – you lose. Grateful it found a good home and is off my porch.
Did some paperwork organizing today. I had to make a few new files and did lots of filing. I don’t like it when I can’t put my hands on a piece of paper and things were piling up. Good to have things in their proper place.
Got notice that my prescription drug company is not offering a plan for next year. I will have to pick a new one on the 15th. It is a pain to change the insurance information and get all new prescription for the new company. I have looked at the companies offering plans and think I know what I want to go with. Enrollment opens on the 15 or 16. I’ll need to check for Kathy too and see what she needs to do.
I may go to Pioneer Bluffs tomorrow afternoon for their event. Chances are high that I will change my mind and stay home. Being around lots of people is not on my list of favorite things to do these days. There is a fundraising ranch rodeo on Sunday that I might pop in for. Again, chances are high I won’t go to that either.
Next week I have a Cardiologist appointment in Emporia on Wednesday. Other than that I have lots of empty space on my calendar. Next Saturday is the hour of love event at my house in the afternoon. Not expecting many to come but one never knows.
Feeling a bit disconnected today yet have no desire to be around people. I am very tired and I am probably feeling the effects from that more than anything. The energy in the world feels especially chaotic and challenging today. Things are coming to a head and it isn’t going to be pretty. I keep reminding myself that right here, right now I am safe. I am privileged to be in a position that I am in and don’t have to fear a loss of a job.
Grateful for dear friends, grateful the savings bond got cashed, and grateful for the privilege of being able to stay home all day most days if I choose to do so.
