We had a beautiful but emotional fall Equinox ceremony last night. I believe that if everyone had a special group to gather with and be able to be vulnerable and share your deepest fears and secrets with, the world would be a much better place for all. I hold all that attended with great love and appreciation for all they are.
I took Ellexia to town early afternoon. We picked up a friend of hers and then I dropped them off at a store. I went to several stores looking for a travel bag but didn’t find what I wanted. I went to a bank and broke some hundred dollar bills. Sometimes when you are traveling, they can be hard to break.
I went to Bluestem and got eight 50 pound sacks of chicken feed. I forgot to get dog food. Dang it anyways. I have to go to town next Wednesday so will get it then. 400 pounds of chicken feed was probably enough for one trip anyways.
Ellexia called while I was at the bank and requested a ride to her friend’s house. They were going to walk but changed their minds. I took them to her friend’s house and then went to Walmart to pick up a few things and then came home.
I will ask Tagen to unload the chicken feed before he leaves for his football game tonight. He doesn’t get to play this week as he missed three days of school for being sick. But he gets to stand on the sideline since he is a senior and will enjoy the game that way. Michelle and Ellexia are going to the game but I am staying home since Tagen doesn’t get to play this week.
I got the first insurance payment. This one is part of the payment for the new roof. The insurance adjuster still has not called me back so have been unable to advance any progress on the windows and siding project. It is looking more and more unlikely that I will get anything settled before I go on vacation next Thursday.
I don’t understand insurance talk and am a bit confused with some of the wording on what he sent today. He hasn’t sent me the report for the windows and the siding. What he sent me included the painting of the deck and am not sure if I have to prove that job gets done before I get paid the rest of that payment or not.
I am tired this afternoon. I may go take a nap when I get done writing and doing chicken chores. I woke up early this morning and couldn’t go back to sleep. I feel like I wasted my chance this morning to sleep in. Maybe I will be able to tomorrow morning.
No weekend plans. I am starting to make my travel list of things to take and things I need to get done before I leave. Still not excited about going but I will work on getting there. Feels like a lot of work ahead of me to be able to leave for three weeks. Maybe once I get to the airport Thursday, I will get excited.
Feeling a bit out of sorts this afternoon. Restless and anxious about something but have no idea what. Sure wish I could have gotten final decisions made on the house repairs before I left so I didn’t have that hanging over my head. Not signing contracts until I get back will delay the repairs for three weeks. There is a 5 – 8 week wait for windows which will put me into almost winter time. This project may not get finished until next spring.
Grateful the chicken feed is stocked, grateful the first insurance payment came and grateful for afternoon naps when they are needed.
