I went to the gym at noon today and got my key to the building. I paid for a three month membership. I went with three months as maybe it will provide some motivation to me to go. If I only did one month I might not! We shall see if I can make this happen. I didn’t have time to stay and do anything else today.

Went to Emporia to be at Jason’s house for a delivery. It came around 1:30. I then went to the bank and took care of two banking issues. Stopped at Sutherland’s and picked up some chemical ant repellent. My peppermint mix is not working.

I didn’t stop for groceries as I thought I was going to go to town tomorrow. The thing I was going to tomorrow with Jason got canceled I found out after I got home. I really didn’t need many groceries so I will wait and go in one day later this week and get what I need.

I did a tax return for some friends using one of the free sites recommended from the IRS website. I had several text exchanges with my friends so I could get all the information I needed. Hope I did them correctly. Feels good to know they got their taxes filed on time. Not sure they have the money to pay what they owe but that is not my problem. At least they got filed.

Tomorrow has become a free day for me as I don’t need to go with Jason to his court thing. I will go to the gym tomorrow instead and see if I remember how to use the equipment. I will in probably schedule a training session with the owner of the gym in the coming weeks so I can maximize my training time correctly. I will play with the equipment for a bit and see what I remember and go from there.

Saw a very interesting video today where the lady was comparing the biblical understanding of republicans vs democrats. It helped me understand the differences. If you pick and choose what version of the Bible and verses you want to follow, the Bible will help you justify most positions. It did help me understand the differences and that both sides have valid points. I tend to live in the gray zone and not the black and white zones. I see both sides but do tend to follow the democratic side of my understanding of the Bible.

I still need to get out and take my walk for the day. It was cold and windy earlier. Hoping the wind slows down a bit so it isn’t cold when I walk.

Have felt tired all day. I must have used up more energy than I thought yesterday. It was so worth it though. Grateful I have a quiet week ahead and can rest up and get ready for the rally on Saturday. Just checked the forecast and the chance for rain Saturday has been moved to evening time. It is to be low 60’s during rally time. We need the rain so can’t complain if it comes early but it will be nice if it waits till after the rally.

Having so much empty space on my calendar feels both freeing and scary. I really do better with a bit of structure on my calendar. I will have to put working out on my calendar so it looks like I have something to do. Oh the games I play with myself sometimes.

Grateful for empty space on my calendar, grateful to have been able to help some friends out today, and grateful for a gym within walking distance of my house.
