After I got up this morning I went to the rental house in Emporia and painted. I made good progress. Another productive day like today and I will get it finished painting. Then I have to clean it but that shouldn’t take too long.

We still need to get the blinds hung and the new gate we got for the back yard needs to be permanently put in place. Phil said he can take care of those things. Not sure what I would do without Phil. If the drain guy gets there this week and gets that problem fixed, Tagen should be able to move in next weekend.

I looked at the roof of the house today and know that it will need replaced sooner rather than later. I will plan on doing that next spring.

I listened to some podcasts while I painted today. It makes the time go. By faster and painting is less boring.

Came home and watched the Chiefs get beat. They played tough but things didn’t go their way.

Tomorrow I have to go to Emporia for exercise at 2:00. I will either go in before and paint for a couple hours or stay afterwards and do it. Hoping the drain guy will call me in the morning and want me to meet him there.

Thursday morning I have to go to Topeka and then the heating guy is coming in the afternoon to my house to do the annual check. No plans for next weekend but helping Tagen moved if he needs my help.

Hoping to get two or three stay at home days this week. They have been in short supply since I started work on the rental and I am missing them. I get cranky when I don’t get a couple stay at home days a week.

We are to get some rain this evening. We are still close to drought conditions so I welcome the rain. I miss being able to watch the storms roll in. I am slowly losing touch with the sky and moon as I can’t see them that well in town.

Feeling in a bit better place today than I was in yesterday. I got some sleep last night and that always helps. I was pleased with how much painting I got done today and realized how close I am to being finished. I really like how the house has been transformed with a little bit of paint and new lighting. I’m still very disappointed in the company that managed the property. Lesson learned I trust. I will be grateful when I am out of the rental business. That won’t happen for another couple of years but I am headed that way.

Grateful for the painting I got done today, grateful there isn’t a lot of painting left to do, and grateful Phil is going to install the blinds and gate.
