I slept last night even after all the sleep I got yesterday. I didn’t fall asleep until after 3:00 but I was able to sleep in until almost 9:00. Man! I had forgotten what sleep can do to a body. Feels good!

My trainer had to cancel our session today as she had to take her child to a doctor in Topeka and the appointment ran late. I had to run into Emporia as I needed to pick up the estimated tax coupons from my accountant. She told me they were mailed over a week ago but they haven’t shown up in my mailbox yet. I called her today and asked to duplicate the package she mailed me. They are due Friday so needed to get a check written and mailed so it will arrive on time.

The tax estimate was way more than I expected it to be. Yikes! Hoping she way overestimated and I will get a big refund come next April. I have to pay taxes on some depreciation I claimed when I had the retreat center and the AirBnb. It sure seems like a lot of tax considering no more money than I made when I had the business. Better safe than sorry though and this should avoid the tax penalty for owing more than $1,000. Feels good to get that taken care of.

I am in the process of deep cleaning my bathroom. It was disgustingly dirty and needed a really good cleaning. I am hand moping the floors and they are drying now and I will finish the rest of it when I am done writing. Good thing the bathroom and laundry rooms are small and they don’t take too long to clean.

I got my 2024 blog copied through the end of May, three-hole punched and put in a binder. Feels good to get that project completed too. I sure would hate to lose my work like I did before. I know there is supposed to be a way to back it up on-line but haven’t been able to make it work yet. Sometime I need to call the website that manages my blog and have someone help me figure it out. Making paper copies seems old-fashioned and takes up a lot of space. It is kinda fun though to occasionally pick one of the binders up and read through my life during a specific time frame.

Nothing on my calendar for tomorrow but I may run to Wichita and get some things for my trip to Costa Rica. I would rather get that taken care of sooner rather than later. I may stop and visit with my Aunt while I am in Wichita. I may make a full day of it. I’ll see how I feel in the morning.

Sitting in a weird place today. Have a situation on my mind and the solution hasn’t presented itself to me yet. I have struggled to stay above the neutral level today. When I drop below neutral my normal practices don’t work as well so am having to do some new things to first help me get back above neutral so my logical, rational part of my brain will kick back in and help me find a solution. I am slowing rising back up this afternoon. Moving my body by cleaning has helped a bit move this stuck energy up and out.

Grateful the bathroom is clean, grateful the tax situation got taken care of, and grateful the blog has been copied and printed.
