We got the Newsletter completed today. I went to Cottonwood Falls around 8:45 and picked up what was ready at the printers. When I got home Lynn was here and we got everything inside and set up. Two other volunteers joined us and we worked until almost noon.
We ran out of one of the forms that the printer still had to do some work on. Lynn ran into Cottonwood Falls to pick those up while I got lunch ready. When Lynn got back another volunteer joined us and we all had lunch.
After lunch we worked and got everything done by 4:00. Not bad! Jim helped Lynn get her car loaded up. She will take it to the post office tomorrow and get it in the mail.
It always feels good to get that project completed – especially when we have enough helpers to get it done in one day.
I was tired by the end of the work day though. JIm and I both laid down for a bit. He was able to sleep for over an hour but I couldn’t fall asleep. It felt good to stretch out and rest though. Maybe tonight I will sleep really good.
I have my second load of dishes in the dishwasher running. The kitchen and living room are all put back together again. I’m grateful this house seems to clean up easily. Lunch went over well and was easy to serve.
Tomorrow I have to be in town by 1:00 so my car can be aligned and the wheels balanced. The guy told me it will take up to three hours to get the job done. I think Jim will follow me into town and then bring me home and then take me back to town when the car is done. Three hours is a long time to sit and wait for them to be done.
We need to go to the Chase County court house and get the car title project started. Maybe we can do that while the car is being fixed tomorrow afternoon.
My bank called me today to let me know my social security check had been deposited in the closed account and they asked permission to transfer it to the new checking account. I was going to call them tomorrow to remind them to look for it on Wednesday. Not sure why it came in on a Monday – it has always come in on a Wednesday before. Grateful the bank caught it and handled it appropriately and the deposit didn’t get returned. One less thing to worry about and to be able to cross off my list. I will have one more social security deposit next month that I trust the bank will handle correctly and then it should start coming into my new checking account directly.
Felt good to have a productive day and have had something to show for my work today. It has been a bit since that happened. I am tired tonight so trusting I will sleep good tonight. I am starting to get desperate for a good night’s sleep.
Grateful for the volunteers that lent a hand today, grateful for the friendship and conversation of the day, and grateful the bank handled the social security deposit correctly.
