I was surprised I slept last night after sleeping most of the day yesterday. I don’t remember sleeping that much in one day before. I must have needed it.
I got the living room detailed cleaned today. I sure found a lot of dirt. I accidentally unplugged the extension cord the internet router is plugged into. It took so long to reload that I thought I had broken something. I called the Internet company and of course it came back on while I was talking to them.
The Director from Pioneer Bluffs dropped off the Newsletter material for me to finish up the mailing. The group at the work day today got most of it done. I just need to glue the stuffed envelopes shut and finish stuffing and glueing a few of them. I am already halfway done. I will finish the rest of them tomorrow. They are going to be picked up Monday morning. I am grateful I got them early so they can be done my Monday morning. That will give me all day Monday and Tuesday to make treats.
Tomorrow I will finish up the Newsletter and hopefully get another room detailed cleaned. I still need to get the book case in my bedroom turned around and put back into place. To do that I have to unload it. It needs a good cleaning so I will do that too.
I ordered some plastic tile things for the dog pen. There is too much gravel in the pen and the dogs need a space to lay without being on gravel. They will work but I need to find some way of securing them in to the ground. They have holes in the four corners of them for that purpose. I need to research what type of thingy would work the best and get some ordered.
Next week I don’t have anything on my calendar except family day on Saturday. I have to figure out a game for our family Christmas on Saturday and then go to town to get what I need to make that happen. I have to pick up Ellexia’s birthday cake on Friday so will get things then if I don’t make it to town before that.
Felt good to get one room of the house clean. I was thinking today about the country house and realized how much easier it is to clean this small house. It would have taken me two weeks to get every room in the county house detailed cleaned. Life sure is easier in the small house.
I still need to get the insurance pictures finished up and sent off to the agent that is working on the claim. I am still tempted to have them send someone here instead. I don’t like doing their work for them.
Hard to believe that our family Christmas is a week from today. I’m grateful we are doing it early and getting it out of the way. Christmas is not my favorite season and after next Saturday I can pretend it is over for the year. I don’t decorate anymore so won’t have to get that stuff out and then put it all away again.
Time is so weird for me. I struggle to stay “in time” these days. It just doesn’t hold much meaning for me any more. I work hard staying present to what is and letting the rest of it go. I have trouble knowing if something that happened in the past happened a week ago, a month ago, a year ago or when it happened.
Still avoiding the news for the most part. I do read the headlines and follow a couple of people that recap what is going on. I do much better mentally if I don’t spend a lot of time understanding what is happening. It feels like a different reality anymore.
Grateful one room is detailed cleaned, grateful the Newsletter is halfway done, and grateful for all the sleep I got yesterday.
