Had another rough night. Finally got about two hours of sleep between 4:00 and 6:00. I stayed in bed and attempted to get more sleep for another hour or two but gave up. I did take a two hour nap this afternoon and woke up feeling almost rested. Five hours of sleep in 48 hours is not enough. Trusting I will be able to find sleep tonight.
Did a bit of housecleaning this morning. I needed to ground and get present and housework is good for that.
Phil got the rest of the railing put up on the porch today. He still has some overhead boards to replace and he is going to put some trim board around the base of the porch. I have to go to Emporia Monday for exercise and I wills to and get paint. I can’t find the left over paint from when we painted the house. I am hoping the hardware store has the colors on file. If not, I will have to get samples and try to match the existing. That can be a challenge as they change colors frequently and don’t always show what they used to.
It feels so good to have the porch project almost finished. It has been on my pending list for over a year. It really makes the house look different. The other one was heavy and sagging. We will enjoy sitting out on the new porch once I get it all painted and Phil finishes up the last of the trim.
Not much on my calendar for this week. I will go to town for exercise Monday and Wednesday. I will stop and get a few groceries tomorrow. Have a few things to take care of in the morning at home. There is always housecleaning that could be done.
It was a beautiful day today. Cooled down enough I could turn the A/C off again. It is to stay in the 70’s and low 80’s this week. Love this type of weather. Hope it hangs around for a long time. Not looking forward to walking the dogs when it is cold out.
Feeling like I am sitting in the in between time right now. Not sure what new is coming in but I can feel something is coming. Doing my best to remind myself to allow what is and not force things. We have been in an eclipse season and everything I read tells me this is a time that we are to let go and prepare for major change. I feel it coming. I try to stay out of anticipation as rarely do I anticipate correctly. Staying present to what is is a lifetime pursuit for me.
Grateful for a beautiful fall day, grateful for the progress on the porch, and grateful I got a bit of sleep last night.
