What a day! I am sitting for the first time all day.
I got Tagen’s lunch packed and he left for school. I headed into Emporia to paint Ellexia’s room. I made a quick stop at Sutherland’s and then went to the new house and painted her room. I forgot my ladder so got all but the top part of the room painted.
While I was there, the internet provider came and hooked up internet service for the house. I’m glad I was there when he came so that job could get done.
I came home and Kathy helped me take the two dogs and cat to the vet for their annual shots. Kathy was able to get Sophia in her car without issue so we took her car. Her car sits much lower than mine does and it was easier to use. We managed to get both dogs and the cat in and out without incident. We kinda destroyed the exam room. Left lots of dog hair and slobbers from the dogs. All checked out fine and all got shots.
We stopped at Michelle’s house on our way home so Kathy could see the house.
Came home and got everyone unloaded. The cat was very happy to be free at last. I had made her spend the night in the laundry room so she would be easy to catch this afternoon. She was pissed at me for making her stay in.
I called and have the HVAC people coming Wednesday to Michelle’s house to check out the A/C and heater. The oven will be delivered tomorrow afternoon. Things are getting done.
Tomorrow I have to be at the hospital at 8:45 for a mammogram and a bone density test. Then I will go to Michelle’s house and finish painting Ellexia’s room and wait for the oven to be delivered. I think the woodwork in that room would look better if it was painted so will need to check with Ellexia and ask her about that. Not sure when the oven is coming so might have lots of time to kill waiting for it. I might as well be doing something productive while I am waiting.
Michelle officially sold her other house today. She is still waiting for her payout due to some complications but that should happen tomorrow. Grateful that the house closed and that part of things is almost settled.
Slowly things are moving forward for all of us. It is easy to get overwhelmed with all that is going on right now. Sometimes I need to just stop and take some deep breaths and remind myself all is well.
My handyman is going to come replace the circuit breaker for the dryer to make sure that isn’t the problem. If it still trips after he does that, then I will have to call for warranty service for it. I’m glad it still works as long as I go down each load and flip the circuit breaker.
Tagen is having dinner in town tonight. It is his girlfriend’s birthday. That means I don’t have to fix dinner as Ellexia is with her dad. This is a good night to get a night off from cooking.
Feeling a bit overwhelmed with all that is going on. Still struggling a bit with jet lag. It feels like there are lots of moving parts and I’m not sure how things fit together yet. Good thing most of the things are flexible and we don’t have a definite time line for things to be done. If I can remember to take things one at a time and cross them off the list, all will get done – sooner or later.
I have managed to stay on my eating plan since I have been home. That feels good although the detox process is showing up. I forgot how tired I got when I went through this before. Not sure if I am tired from jet lag or the detox process. Either way I’m tired! Offering myself some grace and limiting what I feel I have to do each day. It will all get done, just not today is my new mantra.
Grateful most of Ellexia’s room is painted, grateful the dogs and cats appointment is done for the year, and grateful for Kathy’s help today.
