I took my car to Dieker’s at 10:00 this morning for an oil change. I dropped it off and then walked down to the post office to get some stamps for the Detention Center. Went to the bank to deposit a check and get some cash for Kathy. Walked home and then walked back to Dieker’s about an hour later to pick up my car. I had forgotten to ask them to rotate the tires but they noticed they needed done and took care of them. I love their service. I stopped at the Detention Center to drop off the stamps and then came home.
I got the two tests done that I needed to do before tax prep class this evening. Went to tax class at 5:30. The first class is always chaos as we all try to get on our computers and figure out passwords. There are five different sites we have to access and all five have different user names and passwords. I think it is a test of survival. If you can make it through training, the tax season is a breeze.
I have to go back to another class tomorrow night. They are also meeting Thursday night but I will miss that one. The leader expects that we will need a couple more classes next week. Not sure if I will make those classes or not. It will depend on how well I do after surgery. I am not going to push myself too hard to make it to the classes. Most of what we cover we don’t use anyways.
I have a happy hour to go to tomorrow afternoon at 3:00. I will have to leave a little before 5:00 so I can make it to class on time. I have six problems I need to do before class tomorrow and take two other tests. Luckily none of them will take too much time.
Sometime in the next week I will need to do the rest of the problems of the test. I told the leader I would check my answers with her before I attempt the test so I can pass. Two years ago I did it all on my own and failed. Not going there again!
I still haven’t gotten the groceries I need so will have to figure out if I want to stop after class tomorrow night or make two trips to town and get them tomorrow morning. It will depend on what time I get up tomorrow and what mood I am in. I might put off the trip to Emporia until Wednesday morning.
I don’t think I have too much else I need to get done before Thursday. We worked out today that Jason is taking me up Wednesday night, Nicole is spending the day with me Thursday and then Michelle is coming up Friday and will bring me home. I appreciate all the kids helping their mom out.
Have no idea what to expect post surgery. I am on limitations on lifting for six weeks. Other than that I don’t know what the instructions will be. It will probably depend on what all they have to do. The surgery will take between two and four hours depending on what they find. Hoping it is closer to the two hours than the four. They are doing it using a robot so I won’t have a big incision which should facilitate a quicker recovery.
I read a post on Facebook today where a US citizens in Minneapolis was taken into custody for eight hours. He shared what his experience was like. Scary stuff! Where is all this going and when will it end?
Ready for surgery already. I was diagnosed in June so it has been a long time coming. Trusting this will solve several problems I am having and won’t create new ones.
Sitting with a quiet mind tonight. I didn’t spend too much time reading the news today and that helps keep my mind quiet. I have finally learned I can only take in so much before it affects my inner peace.
Grateful the first class of tax season is over, grateful for my kids help this week, and grateful I get to see my friends tomorrow.
