Kathy and I were in Emporia by 9:30 this morning. A realtor came to the rental house so she could get the property listed. The house was not ready to be shown but luckily she could see past the clutter. The realtor is finding people to come haul away the left over stuff and then someone to clean it and take care of the yard.

Kathy and I picked up Ellexia and we went for our spa treatment. Kathy and I had pedicures and Ellexia got a manicure. It felt so good to have someone rub my calves and feet. I need to remember to do that more often. I enjoyed the time with Ellexia today. This was her idea of a fun day and I am looking forward to the next one.

After we got beautified we went to 627 for lunch. We were going to go to Bruff’s but it was closed. I had chicken tenders and they were good. We took Ellexia home after we were done eating.

I called a plumber to go to the rental house and fix a dripping bath tub faucet. I thought that had been taken care of but I guess the plumber I had called several months ago never showed up.

I went back to Emporia later this afternoon and checked out the house again. Tagen got the last of what he wanted out of it. The realtor happened to have stopped back by so we touched base again. She said the market is not moving much right now so it may be a bit before the house sells. We shall see what happens.

If you know of someone looking for a two bedroom, one bath, no basement with a big back yard in Emporia let me know. This is a perfect starter home or rental. It would make a cute BnB place too.

Got a form from an insurance company today that I think is what we needed. Need to make an appointment with someone and try to get that taken care of later this week. Sure wish I spoke “insurance” so I knew for sure what I was doing.

Feeling tired this evening. I am disappointed in what the house looked like and the work I now have to have done to get it ready to sell. Grateful there are people that make things go away. Trusting that the sale process with go quickly and smoothly.

No plans for tomorrow. Still haven’t heard from the surgeon about an appointment. They had told the nurse it takes them a week to get back to make appointments. It is a week tomorrow. Trusting they will call this week. They are my second option. Not sure what my third option will be if I don’t hear from them.

Sitting with my disappointment this evening. Allowing it to be heard and felt. I had a hard lesson to learn in all of this and am trusting I have learned what was needed. I can look back and see what I did wrong and am proud of myself for course correcting and not allowing it to drag on. Self progress can be slow and hard!

Grateful we are making progress to get the house listed, grateful for a realtor that has contacts with people that make things go away, and grateful for time with Ellexia today.
