I didn’t want to get up when the alarm went off this morning. I needed to be in town by 9:30 so had to get going.
I picked up Ellexia and we headed to KC. I stopped and filled the car up at Costco. I should have done so in Emporia as gas was $2.62 at Costco. Could have gotten it for $2.59 closer to home.
We picked Nicole up and went to Johnny’s for lunch. Ellexia wanted Mac and cheese and French fries. She said they were good.
We dropped Nicole off and headed to Lululemon at Town Center. Ellexia had a sweater to return. She looked for something different while I stood in line for returns. After 20 minutes in line and not being able to see the front of the long line we decided to leave and I will return it a different way. It had taken us 15 minutes to find a parking spot.
We then went to Oak Park Mall. It was jam packed full of people too. We went to ten different stores until Ellexia could find something to spend her Christmas money on. She ended up with $2 and change left over but was excited about what she had found.
We headed for home after that. I was done!. Traffic was fairly heavy especially coming home. We drove through rain most of the way home.
I dropped Ellexia off at her mom’s house and I came home. I had wanted to stop at Costco in KC and Walmart in Emporia but I was done. I have to go to town tomorrow and will get what I need then.
It was fun spending the day with Ellexia. She knew what she wanted and had the patience to keep looking for it.
Tomorrow I am spending some time with Tagen to get some business taken care of. I also need to buy a new refrigerator for Jason’s house. His is freezing things like milk and making a very loud noise when the fan turns on. I hope that is the last thing any of the rental houses need for this year. I have certainly had to do a lot of reinvestment in all three of them this year.
The rest of the week until Friday is free. Hoping to get some more stay at home days in. Friday I have exercise so will have to go to Emporia then.
I can’t wrap my head around that this week will start a New Year. Time and I don’t have a close relationship anymore. Things that happened in the past could have happened a week ago, a month ago or a year ago and it all feels about the same to me. Not sure how time goes by so fast when I spend most days sitting in my chair.
Wondering what the New Year will bring for us all. It will be interesting to see what happens with the transition of power in DC. I am challenging myself to stay grounded, center and in love regardless of what happens in the outer world. Trusting my role in all the changes will be apparent to me as I am needed to step up and serve.
Grateful for a full day with Ellexia, grateful to have lunch with Nicole, and grateful for a safe trip to and from KC.
