I just came in from mowing and my fingers got cold and aren’t working very well right now. I hope I don’t make too many typos.

Yesterday was a terrible, rotten, no-good day. I spent most of the day in tears. Had nothing to do with Mother’s Day it was just one of “those” days. Glad it is over and behind. me now.

Went in this morning and got the rest of the wall in the master bedroom second coated. Went back later in the afternoon and got the rest of the woodwork second coated and the closet doors second coated. When I can move the closet doors I need to touch up the closet paint and that room will be done.

I also think I finished the bathroom. I’ll have to check it again but I think it is done. That makes three rooms done – four to go. Progress!

I didn’t get much else done today except for my egg delivery. This house still needs cleaned but it seems to be waiting for me.

Jim is going back to Stillwater tomorrow and staying until Saturday so I will have lots of quiet time to clean and paint. Maybe by the time he comes back this time I will have gotten the house cleaned.

Tomorrow I plan on putting the first coat on the second bedroom walls and woodwork. Jim moved his saw and other stuff out of that room so I can have access to the walls. I sure like painting walls better than woodwork. I have until Thursday evening to get that room done. If I can get first coat on tomorrow then I can do the second coat on Wednesday and touch ups on Thursday.

Finished mowing most of my yard after dinner tonight. I still need to mow the driveway but most of the yard is done. Part of it is still hard to mow as there isn’t much grass and the weeds are few and far between. Up close to the house the grass is filling in and it was tall and easy to tell where I had mowed.

I got a jury duty questionnaire In the mail today. Last time that happened I got notice to serve three different times but never did have to appear. We will see what happens this time.

I’m having trouble getting the gas bill paid at the rental house. Last time they charged me a late fee and when I talked tot hem said they were going to subtract it off and get the bill paid. This bill included last months bill and a late fee. I’ll have to call tomorrow and find out why they can’t seem to get it straight. Maybe I need to forget auto pay and just send a check, however the mail delivery is so slow these days I am having trouble getting checks to companies on time to pay bills. I’ll have to see if they have an actual place I can go to to drop off a check.

I haven’t had to go to Emporia since Saturday evening when we took Ellexia home. Hoping I can go another couple of days before I have to go back. I’ll need groceries sooner or later this week but nothing that can’t wait for another day or two.

Still not feeling grounded and fully recovered from yesterday but am much better than I was. It will be good to have lots of quiet time this week. I need to be put into time out.

Grateful the yard is mowed, grateful two more rooms are done, and grateful today was a better day.
