This has been a day of sleep! I didn’t wake up until after 9:30 when I got a phone call. After the call I got up and moved slowly all day. I watched the Chiefs game and then laid down for a nap. I just woke up at 10:00. Not sure if I will sleep tonight or not. Still don’t fill completely rested but much better than yesterday.

At one point today, Kathy asked me if I felt like I was all the way home. I told her no! Hopefully after I get some things done tomorrow I will feel like all of me is home. I didn’t attempt to do anything today as I don’t trust my brain today yet. I couldn’t hold a thought long enough to carry through with anything today.

Tomorrow I have to go to Emporia and pick up the cookies I ordered for the Detention Center Thanksgiving feast. I got an email from them and they asked for some paper plates so I will get those while I am in town tomorrow. They also need some plain envelopes. Not sure why they don’t put letters in a card and use those put I will get some envelopes as they requested.

My accountant needs a copy of the closing statement for the last rental I had sold so I will drop that off for her. Last time they mailed me something it took three weeks to get here.

I have an insurance refund check that I need to deposit. Hoping I can close out this account soon. It is the one I used for the rentals and I don’t have any rentals left. I want to leave it open for a few months just to make sure I don’t have anymore rental business to take care of. It was a pain to get this account open and I don’t want to have to go through that again.

The hyacinth bulbs I had put over salt and pepper shakers are rooting nicely and starting to show a bit of green. I need to get some flower pots and potting soil to put them in. Hope I can find flower pots this time of year.

I need to stop by and get a blood draw to get my TSH levels checked. They may be a bit wacky with all the travel. Not sure I got all my medication in as I didn’t know what time it was sometimes.

I have some phone calls to make. Kathy’s car had gotten dented the day before I left for India. I need to call and get that claim started and find out what I need to do to get her car fixed.

My Cardiologist had called Friday while I was traveling with results of the heart monitor that I had worn two months ago. I will try to get hold of them tomorrow and find out what the results were. Not sure why it hasn’t been posted on My Chart but then again I am not sure why it took two months to get the results.

I need to call my heating and air guys and find out why they haven’t shown up yet. They had promised me they would get to the job within a week. That was almost three weeks ago. My calendar must be different than theirs is!

Tuesday I have a mammogram and bone density test. Afterwards I need to buy groceries for Thanksgiving. I can take care of a few more things off my to-do list then if needed. I may run out of steam while I am in town tomorrow and not get everything done.

I am still looking for eaters for Thanksgiving if anyone would like to come join us. We are going to eat in the new room. It is empty and the biggest space I have in this house. I can seat at least 24 people in there and so far I think I only have 12 coming. Please come join us! No need to bring anything but yourself and friends. We are eating at 1:00. Let me know and I will set a place for you at my table.

Grateful for a day of rest, grateful for Notes on my iPhone so i can track all that needs to get done, and grateful to be home.
