I remember why I don’t like hot weather. I am sticky and sweating today. I turned the A/C off one day too soon and haven’t turned it back on today. It will cool off this evening and is only to be 71 for the high tomorrow. Much nicer than the 87 today.
I got the chicken coop cleaned out this morning. The girls sure enjoy rearranging the straw when I am done. I haven’t gone down to check for eggs yet today. Trusting they will give me enough eggs to make it worth cleaning out the coop.
I went into Emporia this afternoon to get six more gallons of paint. It took them about ten minutes to find the base I needed. Then the girl that mixed it mixed one gallon at a time. Each took three minutes to shake and then she mixed the next one and put it on the shaker. The last two she mixed together and put in the double shaker. Sometimes I shake my head and wonder about someone’s logical thinking pattern – or lack of one! The good news is paint was 30% off today.
Stopped and got a few groceries and then came home.
When it cools down a bit I am going out to paint on the swing set. I didn’t make it out last night and need to get out there tonight. I will do all the low stuff and then tomorrow when it is cooler get the ladder out and do the higher stuff. I may need to borrow a taller ladder or break down and buy one.
Contacted my guests for next weekend to see if they wanted to purchase breakfast and to let them know I am going to be gone Friday afternoon. Hutch’s Celebration of Life Service is that afternoon and I can’t miss that. They were all very gracious and understanding and we found ways to work around me being gone. All eight guests want breakfast Saturday morning and six of the eight want breakfast Sunday morning. It will be a busy weekend!
This has been my third empty space day in a row and I have three more the first of the week before my calendar is full again until the end of July. I have enjoyed every minute of the last three days and will appreciate the next three.
Anyone want to come teach me how to use the weed eater? That thing is intimidating. I haven’t found the courage yet to fire it up and attempt to use it.
I have contacted two different glass people to come look at a window that has a rotted sash. Both of them told me when they would be here and neither one showed up or called to tell me what happened. What is up with that? I will call both of them again Monday and give them a second chance. May need to come up with a third service person. Anyone have any recommendations?
My house is dirty again. I will need to clean it Tuesday so it will be ready for the guests coming Thursday and Friday. I will be gone most of Wednesday so can’t do it then. It surprises me how dusty it is with all the rain we have had.
It amazes me how restored I feel after taking three quiet days mostly at home by myself. I wished I had known years ago I needed quiet time by myself. It makes me a better human and easier to be with.
Grateful the chicken coop is cleaned out again, grateful my guests were all so understanding and gracious, I look forward to meeting them, and grateful I feel whole and rested again.
