This has been a rest and recovery day. I didn’t sleep again last night much. I happened to wake up when my phone binged. It was my renter telling me she was on her way.
I got up and quickly took a shower and headed into Cottonwood Falls. I waited about an hour and half for her and gave up. I put the keys on the front door mat and left. She had called me after I had been there 45 minutes telling me they were on there way. Not sure what happened but they showed up later. Not a good start to this new relationship with my renter.
Came home and did chores and ate breakfast. Jim and I went to Emporia so I could pick up a prescription and get some groceries. We have a family reunion to go to Monday and I needed some stuff so I could fix some food to take. I had baked the grandkids some peanut butter cookies last night and we needed to drop those off too.
It was good to get to see Tagen for a hot minute when we dropped the cookies off. I’m not used to seeing him and it surprises me every time I do how tall he has gotten. I bet he is six foot tall now. I feel tiny compared to him now. What a pleasant young man he is becoming.
I prefer self-checkout but today the damn machine kept malfunctioning and I had to wait for the clerk to come over ride it. I didn’t need that today. The store was busy with unconscious people that you couldn’t get around. I was not in a good mood when I finally got out of there.
Came home and took a LONG nap. Feeling much better now. The sun is out and it warmed up a bit. It was cold this morning. I am tired of rainy, cold days and ready for some summer temperatures.
I am fixing Jim tacos for dinner. I will have a grilled hamburger instead. That will make for another easy dinner.
Tomorrow we will run over to the cemeteries in Florence, Hillsboro and Cottonwood Falls to leave flowers at loved ones graves. I hope to get it done before the rain returns tomorrow late afternoon.
Monday we have the family reunion in Cottonwood Falls. This reunion is the family of my maternal grandmother. It will be fun to see some cousins I haven’t seen for over two years.
Tuesday I go to Topeka for an ultrasound and blood work as part of my annual cancer screen. Then the rest of the week is free and clear. Hoping the rain goes away so we can get more painting done on the rental house.
Jim got some flowers to plant outside while we were at Walmart today. He has been working outside while I slept. I’ll need to get some house cleaning done this evening so I can say I got something done today.
Feeling like my tank is empty today. I’m still a bit achy and sore. It is a relief not to be in painting at the rental house today. I needed a three day break from that. Hoping by tomorrow I will have a bit of my energy back and will be productive again.
Grateful for a rest and recovery day, grateful to have seen Tagen for a hot minute today, and grateful to have survived Walmart without hurting someone.
