I am exhausted! I didn’t sleep again last night much. My feet ached most of the night for some strange reason. I took some Tylenol but it didn’t seem to help much. Woke up from a short sleep feeling hung-over. Hate when that happens.
My A/C quit working last night. I heard it click on and then click off over and over again. Turned it off and opened the windows. At least it was nice and cool last night. Called the service company first thing this morning. A guy showed up around 9:45. The blower unit was plugged into a surge protector and the surge protector had gone bad. I had another surge protector on hand so the guy switched it out and my A/C works now. That was easy (but expensive). It was nice to come home this afternoon to a cool house. He had set the thermostat on 74 so the house was cooler than I normally keep it.
Kathy and I drove to Wichita today to visit our Aunt Marylyn. She treated us to lunch and her daughter Joni joined us for lunch. What a delightful day we had. Highway 50 is under road construction near Newton and we got detoured around so it took longer to get there than normal. So glad we went to see her. I will cherish this memory!
One of my long-term boarders ask if I wanted to ride along with him to Lehigh tonight on an errand he needed to do. I went with him – we had a delightful conversation. He was raised in Lehigh – the town where my father was raised. He showed me where one of my grandmother’s brother lived on the old Jost family homestead. My dad had carved a picture of the barn that is still standing on the property. It was a nice adventure to end my day with.
While I was on that adventure another match guy sent a message to me and we texted back and forth for a bit. Not sure he represented himself honestly on the site and his profile is now down. I’ll see if this one goes anywhere.
Had a message from the guy from McPherson when I got home. We are meeting Wednesday for a face-to-face. He is sounding way too eager – may have to tell him to back off a bit. I don’t want to hurt anyone but I am not going to be rushed into a relationship either. At least this one I will get to see face to face sooner rather than later so I can see if there are any sparks. Didn’t feel any sparks over the phone last night when we talked. I’ll keep an open mind though and see how it is when we are having a face-to-face conversation.
Tomorrow I am taking a friend to her doctor’s appointment in the afternoon. Wednesday the match guy and I are meeting and Thursday some friends are coming over in the morning. Guess I filled in my week! So much for a week full of empty space. Love when my calendar gets filled in though.
I am ready for bed! I haven’t slept well for almost two weeks – trusting tonight will be the night I will crash and sleep for several hours in a row – and maybe more.
Grateful for my Aunt Marylyn and the love she shared with me today, grateful for a service guy that quickly fixed my A/C today, and grateful for the possibilities that are coming my way and the life lessons they bring with them.
