This has been a sleepy day for me. I have never felt like I woke up today. I took a nap in the bed and then took a chair nap. Not sure why I was so tired today.

I got to sleep around 3:30. Sophia woke me up at 9:00 as she wanted to go outside. I went back to bed and fell asleep again but my phone rang at 10:00. It was my realtor with a cash offer for my rental house. It was a very low ball offer. I countered but haven’t heard back.

I got up and felt a bit weird. Not sure I can describe it other than I didn’t feel good and a bit light-headed. I sat in my chair for a bit and read the news. Not a good idea to read the news these days if you aren’t feeling grounded and well!

Phil was here working on the new addition. The two guys with the big machines came late morning. Phil had to pull the toilet as the guy came with the sewer line camera came to try to find the water and sewer line. They were unsuccessful finding them. Phil replaced the toilet seal and everyone left for lunch.

The two with the big machines came back and tore up the side yard. Poor Kathy – she worked all spring fixing the mess the workers made when they had to replace the water line earlier this year. She will get to do it all again next spring.

The back foundation is laid out and filled with some sort of light powder gravel I think they called it. The room looks huge. Not sure it needs to be that big but I will let it be that. I will use it for storage and the second bathroom. It will be nice to have more room for storage than I need. I am also moving the cat box and dog feeding station to the new room.

Not sure when they will be back – I am assuming next Monday. It will be a good day when the cement gets poured and things can really get going.

For some reason the mail man didn’t pick up my outgoing mail today. Not sure what happened with that – he is usually good at picking it up even when I don’t have any mail. Maybe there was a substitute today that didn’t bother stopping even though the flag was up.

The Director of the Urgent Care called me back this afternoon. Not sure why she bothered. She really didn’t have anything to say. She did call Kathy and apologize and said it wouldn’t happen to someone else. Not sure I will give them a second chance – we shall see.

Jason called this afternoon and we had a nice, long chat. I love when my kids call and let me know what is happening in their life – even when they don’t have much news.

I need to track down my brothers this weekend and get their signatures on the insurance refund check that came for my brother Gene. I will drive out to Lebo tomorrow and see if I can find them.

No plans for the weekend. I have a few things to take care around here that I have been putting off for a long time. Monday we meet with the funeral home guy to take care of Kathy’s last remaining life insurance policy. Wednesday the heating guy is coming to do the fall check and Thursday I go back to the Vo-Tech to finish my dental cleaning. Saturday there is a walk to raise funds for Alzheimer’s that Kathy and I are going to.

Sitting in a weird place this late afternoon. I feel like I have one foot in each timeline and can’t find my balance. Trusting this is a temporary place to me in and I will take the leap onto the path I know I belong soon. Sometimes I have to drop back down so I can know again my truth and to remember where I really belong.

Grateful for extra rest today, grateful progress was made on the addition today, and grateful Kathy loves doing yard work.
