Happy Spring Equinox! One of two days of the year where there is an equal amount of light and darkness. It is a time to plant your intentions for the upcoming year. What is it within you that you want more of? What gifts do you have that you share with the world?
I texted the plumber this morning to inform him that I needed a new hand sink kitchen faucet when they come out to replace the booster pump. I again asked him if they had found a booster pump.
He let me know they would find a faucet but didn’t know anything about the booster pump yet. 30 minutes later he texted they were on their way out with both! Yay!
They showed up and looked at the booster pump. The sales rep they dealt with told them some new instructions for installation of it and they had to go back to town to get parts.
They came back and got the new booster pump hooked up and running. They then came upstairs and replaced the faucet. Good thing they came when they did as they discovered the faucet was starting to leak under the sink.
I am grateful that both of those projects got crossed off my pending list. Not sure I want to see the bill when it comes in a few days but I will deal with that when it comes.
Now I can clean up the floor in the furnace room and it will stay dry. I have been tracking chicken wood carvings all over the house as the floor has been wet and icky.
I went to Emporia this afternoon to get a nut to fix the chick feeder. I had trouble finding a helper at Bluestem. Finally did but found out Bluestem didn’t carry the size of nut I needed. They had one size too small and one size too big. Ended up having to buy a whole new feeder. That was an expensive nut!
Went to Walmart to get some flowers for tonight’s Spring Equinox celebration. They were out of fresh flowers and didn’t have any good looking small plants. Got one thing and then left.
I went to Water’s Hardware and found what I needed. I came home cranky. May take a short nap so I will be ready for tonight’s ceremony.
I definitely did not hold my consciousness level above the mid-point in town today. I got frustrated trying to find someone to help me at Bluestem. Then frustrated again when Walmart was out of fresh flowers. I hate driving to town in vain.
After I get done blogging I need to go down and clean the furnace room floor. It will be a pain to do so as that room is crowded with the two chick pens and not much room to move in. There are two extension cords in the way and lots of spilled wood carvings and feed on the floor. Yuck!
The wind is in a big hurry today. The highest wind gust on the prairie so far has been 44.8 MPH but it sounds and feels like it is higher than that. It doesn’t seem to slow down much at all. This is one of those days where the sound of the wind could drive me over the edge of the cliff.
Just wrote a whole paragraph that disappeared on my iPad. I hit some key somewhere on my keyboard and it causes that to happen. Wish I knew what I was hitting so it wouldn’t hit it again.
Trying to figure out why I feel so out of balance this afternoon. Have a feeling the birthday party yesterday drained me and I went to town too empty. Next time I go to town I need to remember to check my energy level and see if my tank is full or not.
I’m grateful our Spring Equinox celebration is tonight as that will help me restore my balance and grounding. I don’t think I have to leave the house tomorrow so that will be a good day to build my reserves back up. I have somewhere to be Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Yikes! I’m not usually that busy. Next week will be a quieter week thank heavens.
Grateful the booster pump and kitchen faucet have been replaced, grateful the Spring Equinox celebration is tonight, and grateful I found some flowers at the Hardware store.
