It has been a productive day so far on the prairie. Project Clean House is well underway. I’m not done yet but getting close. It feels good to have a totally clean house.
I went to Emporia this morning to pick up supplies to make Chex Mix for the grandkids before we leave Wednesday. When Covid started, I started making a treat each week to take to the grandkids. I couldn’t see them or be with them but thought maybe they would remember me if I sent them treats. This week they requested Chex Mix – again. It is one of their favorites. I got it made this afternoon and will drop it by when I am in town tomorrow.
I picked up a few things on my list that I needed for our vacation. I got a couple more pill organizers so I don’t have to take all the bottles of pills with me. I can fix three weeks worth and call it good. We are going to be tight on space going out as Jim is taking Gene a bookcase and six boxes of books. Three pill organizers will take up way less space than all the bottles would.
Tomorrow I go to Topeka to see the Endocrinologist and I have an errand or two to run in Topeka. One the way home I will stop and drop off the Chex Mix for the grandkids. When I get home tomorrow afternoon, I need to do laundry and pack. I also need to mow. It will be a busy day.
The TROPP forms I have been waiting for finally came in today. I ordered them the middle of July. What I ordered they couldn’t send me but we finally figured out something that would work. The guy on their end was a bit slow to respond and communicate with the person that does the mailing. Good to have them. I have a client that was waiting on one so I will get that off to her tomorrow. I’m glad they came in before we left Wednesday.
I have been a bit low on energy today. I slept hard for about four hours last night but couldn’t get a second sleep. I feel a bit draggy today. It didn’t help that I ate some food I shouldn’t have eaten. That slows me down too. One of these days I will learn to stick with my safe foods.
My attorney called me back and I scheduled a Will review for the middle of September. Jim will need to update his too. I hate doing that project but it always feels good to have it done. Our old one shows Jim as my companion and not my husband. It will require two trips to KC as we will have to go back and sign final documents after he makes the changes we need. I will try and schedule lunch with some friends or my daughter that day so the day will be more fun and worthwhile.
Still not mentally ready to leave for two weeks Wednesday. Guess I best be getting packed and ready and getting there quickly. I have become such a home body since Covid hit. There is no place like home!
Grateful the TROPP forms came in, grateful Project Clean House is almost done, and grateful for all the birthday wishes sent to me yesterday and today.
