The EFIS guys worked until 8:00 last night. They had arrived here around 8:30. A second crew joined them late afternoon. I can’t imagine working those types of hours week in and week out.
They showed up this morning around 8:45. I think there are five or six guys here today and they are finishing up this project. They have the east side cleaned up, down below cleaned up and are finishing up the west side now. They still have a couple hours of clean up to do and then they will be gone. So grateful that project got completed. Now to get the guttering guys here and the hail restoration will be complete.
I took a nap in my chair today. I had trouble getting going today and felt tired so decided to rest my eyes for a bit. Slept longer than I expected to but woke up feeling rested.
It is a windy day on the prairie today. Only reaching the low 50’s today with 25 MPH plus wind. At least the skies are bright blue and clear.
Haven’t done a thing today other than take a nap. One of those lazy days I guess. Don’t have anything pressing that needs done so decided to call this my lazy day and not even think too hard about finding something to do. Have a busy week coming up and I needed to take a day and rest.
Tagen hasn’t come out yet today to clean out the chicken coop and I have a feeling he won’t be out today. No worries, it can wait. I don’t really have to have it cleaned out before I move. I can add some material to the nesting boxes and call it good if needed.
Tomorrow I will go to town for exercise in the afternoon. I need to stop and get some groceries while I am in town. I also need to go to the rental house in Cottonwood Falls and measure the foundation of the old garage to see what needs to happen with that. Not thinking it will work but you never know.
Tuesday late morning I am doing a special tax session with a couple that needed some extra help. After that I am meeting with the house builder for the first time to see the first draft of floor plans. I’m excited to see what he came up with and am hoping they are fairly close to what I asked for. Tuesday evening is our Spring Equinox ceremony. I need to give some thought about what I want to do for that.
Wednesday I go to town twice to do taxes with exercise in between. Thursday I am going to lunch in Council Grove with a friend and Friday I go back to Emporia one more time for exercise. I won’t get a stay at home day all week.
I will send the guttering guy an email and let him know the EFIS guys are done. I had told the guttering guy any time after March 25 just to be safe. Not sure if he can move it up a week or not. Guess it doesn’t matter as long as he gets here and gets done before May 1.
It is nice to be able to see out the windows again and go out any door in the house I want to. It was starting to feel a bit claustrophobic in this house with all the windows and doors covered. I need lots of natural light to keep me grounded and centered. The sound of the plastic over the windows blowing in the wind was getting on my last nerve.
Having the EFIS guys here was good practice on holding two opposing thoughts at the same time. I was grateful they were here doing the work and I was wishing they were done and gone. The disruption in my quiet daily life was annoying and yet I knew it had to be done. When I would get especially worked up over the noise and discomfort of them being here, I would remind myself of how good it will feel to get the work done. It helped reduce my frustration and kept me better grounded.
Feeling a bit out of sorts today. Realizing this in-between-time is wearing on me. I am ready to get this move over and done with. Still over six weeks to go. Time is going by quickly and I am staying busy but I am ready to have it done and over with. I am an action type gal and sitting and waiting is not my strength. Good practice for me to have to wait and see what comes up for me during this time.
Grateful the EFIS project will be done today, grateful for Sunday afternoon naps, and grateful I can have a do nothing day when I need one.
