I woke up late this morning but felt like I still needed more sleep. I got dressed and headed to town to get some woodwork paint. Got that and went to the rental house and painted the living room bottom woodwork and most of the dining room bottom woodwork. I don’t like painting woodwork as it is so tedious and slow.
I had to stop at 1:45 so I could go to exercise. I went and did my thing and yawned all the way through it. Not sure why I was so tired today.
Stopped and had lunch and then came home. I was cold when I got home so I snuggled under a blanket and took a three hour nap. I still feel like I might be able to sleep all night.
Guess today was a crash and burn day. I hadn’t had one of those for a bit so maybe I was overdue. I listened to my body and gave it what it needed so I will take that for a win for the day.
Grateful that the election is tomorrow. I know it may take a bit before we know the results but am trusting it will be sooner rather than later.
Tomorrow I have to be at the rental house at 9:45 to get a bid from the tree trimmer. I will do more woodwork painting while I am in town. I’ll see how far I can get. I have lots of windows and all the kitchen cabinets to paint in addition to the rest of the woodwork. I haven’t even begun to do the ladder work of woodwork painting. Progress feels slow at this point but hoping it goes faster than I am expecting it to.
Wednesday is my only stay at home day. I plan on giving myself the day off from painting in town. If it is nice I want to get the rest of the painting done on my porch. Phil got the posts done but I still have a bit more to do. Phil said he would do the ladder painting on the porch another day so will wait for him to do that.
Thursday I have a meeting to go to. It got changed from Matfield Green to later in the day in Cottonwood Falls. Friday I have to go to Topeka for a doctor’s appointment. I want to stop and get some new window blinds for the rental house while I am in Topeka.
Nothing on my calendar for the weekend so hoping Tagen will be free and we can finish up the painting and installing all the new stuff.
The research program I am in for the exercise thing called me today and scheduled two of three of my final appointments with them. I have to do another cognitive three hour test one day and then a three hour physical assessment on another day. Those appointments won’t happen until the second week of February. Their MRI machine is down and they are hoping it will be up and going by the time I go for the other two appointments and will get me on that schedule then. This year has gone fast. I feel like I have a lot more free time since I only have to go to the fitness center once a week instead of three.
Feeling cautiously optimistic about the results for tomorrow. I trust things will go smoothly and no one will be harmed. The anger and fear level is high and violence can happen as a result. I am trusting we can all take a deep breath when this is over and start the process of healing the great divide. We are all more alike than we are different. Sometimes we forget that.
Grateful for lots of sleep today, grateful the end is in sight for my exercise program, and grateful more painting happened today.
