A long day today. I had to be in Emporia at 9:00 this morning to do my first tax shift of the day. We weren’t too busy and I got done early. On my way to the Senior Center this morning I dropped off 10 boxes at the Salvation Army. I took a box of homemade face masks to the Senior Center. They were glad to get them as they have some Seniors that want to wear them but can’t afford the disposable ones.
After I got finished doing taxes, I went to Walmart to pick up a prescription and a few groceries. The Tirosint that I take for my thyroid has gone up to $158 a month this year. Last year it was $75 a month. Yikes. My body doesn’t absorb the Synthroid pill so had to switch to the liquid form. Dang! My prescription insurance doesn’t cover this drug.
Came home and put groceries away. I called the internet people and they did some troubleshooting but couldn’t fix the problem. They are sending out a repair guy tomorrow late afternoon.
I took a short nap in my chair and then went back to Emporia. I did exercise for 45 minutes today and then grabbed dinner and then did another tax shift. All the returns tonight were super simple and we got done early.
Came home and am going to crash. I am really tired tonight. I slept better last night than I have for several weeks – finally! Hoping it is a sign of more good sleep to come.
I have two repair guys coming tomorrow. One to fix my garage door opener and the other to repair the internet. I think I have the morning free so will try to get back to the decluttering project and get another closet or two or three cleaned out. I need to clean house too. I noticed when I came home tonight how dirty the house is. I haven’t cleaned it for quite a while and it is reaching the point where I have to do something about it.
Wednesday I am doing two tax shifts again with exercise in between shifts. I will come home for a short break but then go back to town again in the late afternoon. Thursday I am going to lunch with a friend and then Friday I will go back to Emporia in the afternoon for exercise. Hoping to be able to stay home this weekend. The EFIS guys should come finish up that project.
I got the bill for the booster pump replacement today. Yikes! It was another reminder as to why this house needs to be in the hands of someone else. It is taking all my money from me to keep it going. The bill was about twice what I expected it to be. Hoping this booster pump will last much longer than the other brand did although I guess that won’t be my problem as long as it lasts until May 3.
I have a couple of phone calls to make tomorrow if I am in the mood to make them. I never know if I can make calls or not. Since I get to stay home all day I might be able to.
Feeling a bit cranky tonight. It was a long and busy day and I didn’t have much down time today. I’m so tired of having to get repair people out here and that seems to be what I spend a lot of my time doing these days. Sure hope that decreases when I move to the next house. I’m about at my limit of repairs.
It got up to the low 70’s today. Another beautiful spring like day on the prairie. Winter seems to have receded for the year. We still could get one or even two more blasts of cold weather before it is gone but days like today sure give me faith that spring has sprung.
Grateful I get to stay home all day tomorrow, grateful for the 10 boxes of stuff that is out of the house, and grateful this long day is coming to an end.
