The dogs let me sleep in this morning. After I walked each dog I headed to Emporia to take care of a few things.
My first stop was at my insurance agent. I changed the ownership of this house out of the LLC and into my personal residence. I had it insured as a rental property and got it changed.
Then I went to the paint store and got a gallon of trim paint for the porch. I put some of it on when I got home and I think I like it. I need to finish two of the cedar posts and then make a final decision about the color.
I took the car through the car wash and then headed to Walmart. I needed kitty litter and I picked up a few groceries, Walmart was hard to navigate through today. Not sure what was going on but it was hard to get past slow walkers today. I got what I needed and got out of there.
I came home and got to painting. I didn’t get a lot done today. I wasn’t really in the mood to paint. I hope to get at it again.
I went over to a friend’s house for happy hour at 4:00. It was good to just sit and visit for an hour. I came home and had some chili that I had put in a crock pot went I got home from Emporia. It tasted good. It has been a bit since I fixed myself real food.
Tomorrow should be a stay at home day. Hoping I get the porch painted and finished up. I’m tired of it already. It is hard painting with lots of details and four sides to most things. I much prefer painting walls.
Sunday I have the group meditation at my house at 3:00. I will have to spend some time that morning cleaning house. Good thing this house is small and it won’t take long to clean.
Monday I have to go to Topeka for an ultrasound of my throat. Since I had thyroid cancer I get an ultrasound twice a year as a precaution. I will also have to stop and get a blood draw at a different clinic in Topeka. The rest of the week is free until Friday. If I don’t get the painting done Saturday I will definitely get it done next week. It is to be warm again next week which is amazing for the end of October.
Feeling a bit anxious for some reason tonight. Not sure what is behind it but I will stay quiet and see what comes up. I have been attempting to turn off the news this week and take a media break. I check the headlines but limit myself to only a few minutes. Anytime I change my daily habit and routine it can kick start some anxiety. It has done my soul good though to step away from the details of the election.
Grateful the insurance thing got taken care of today, grateful the painting job continues, and grateful for friends to sit and visit with on a beautiful fall day.
