Long day. It is almost 10:00 and I just got home. I went with Tagen’s girlfriend to Wichita to watch Tagen play football. He got to play one set tonight. Grateful I was there to watch him.
After the game we went to Freddy’s for dinner and then made a quick stop at Costco. Costco was out of the chicken tenders that I went there for so got the frozen ones instead. Picked up a few other things and then headed home.
The plumber was able to make it to Michelle’s house to fix her toilet today. The roofer came and fix some shingles that were not attached correctly. At least two things got crossed off my list today, if nothing else got done.
I did finish washing up all the bedding from the two guest rooms downstairs. Tomorrow I will get those two rooms cleaned and put back together again.
I placed an order for pickup at Walmart. I started the order differently then I normally do and couldn’t figure out how to change the pickup time. The site said they would hold the order for three days so hoping it will be ready for me tomorrow afternoon when I go. I needed five things and they were out of stock on two of them. I think they are shipping the two items to me, if I understood the site properly. We shall see.
I am getting the new RSV vaccine tomorrow afternoon. I read an article today that said the flu, Covid, shingles and RSV vaccines help prevent Dementia. Wow! That would be ever so helpful if that study turns out to be true.
I need to pick up a few groceries while I am at Walmart tomorrow too. I haven’t placed an order for them so will just do it the old-fashion way and go pick them up myself since I have to go in the store anyways.
I need to take the two boxes of stuff I have found the kiddos left behind. One of the boxes has some pillows in it and Tagen told me tonight he doesn’t have a pillow for his bed. I will drop those off while I am in town tomorrow.
Thankfully the rest of the week I get to stay home and clean. I am ready for a few quiet days at home. It feels like it has been very busy since I got home from my trip and I haven’t had a lot of quiet time.
Friday night is Senior recognition night for the football team. I will go to that game as it will be Tagen’s last home game. He has one more away game the following week and I’m not sure if I will make it to that one or not. If Michelle can’t go, then I will go otherwise I will probably skip it. He didn’t get to play much this year but he hadn’t gone out for football for two years. I’m proud that he stuck the season out even when he didn’t get to play much. It would have been easier for him to walk away earlier in the season. They haven’t won many games, if any this year so it has been a tough season for the whole team.
I ordered some new business cards for Kathy and I so we can pass them out at the health fair in November. It is exciting to think that together we can get a business going and offer death doula services. It is a much needed service in this area. I need to get my books out and refresh my memory on the ins and outs of planning for your death.
I’ve needed something that has a bit of structure to it to keep me busy. Getting that business up and running will fit my need nicely. I’m excited to see where it goes and if we can get it up and running.
I can feel that things are opening up for me in a new way. This last year has been a healing year for me. I feel like I have found my footing and grounding in a new way and am on more solid ground then I have been on for a long time. Time for me to fly and get back out and live big.
Grateful to see Tagen play football tonight, grateful he stayed safe playing tonight, and grateful some things got crossed off my to-do list today.
