Slept lots again last night. I woke up a lot but was able to go back to sleep most of the times without much delay. Grateful for some good sleep!
Went out to paint this morning. The wind was a bit strong so I did low painting today and stayed off the high ladder. It is to rain most of the day tomorrow so maybe Sunday or Monday I will get back out there and get the high stuff done.
Went into Emporia after I cleaned up from painting. Took my car to get my tires rotated and found out I need new tires. I go back next Tuesday morning to have them aligned and new tires put on. Really hadn’t budgeted for that expense but need to get it done before winter.
Went to Walmart after my tires were rotated and picked up a few things. Couldn’t find two things on my list and forgot two other things that were on my list. I did find some boys shorts on sale so got four pairs of those to wear after surgery. I had some sweat pants but decided it was going to be too hot for sweat pants. I will go back to town Saturday and see if I can find the two things I couldn’t find at another store and get the two things I forgot. CO peaches are to be here Saturday and I want to get a box to make some peach jam.
Finally got the bid from the contractor that is going to rebuild my retaining walls in the back yard. OUCH! They have to get done so I am going to have to suck it up and pay. He is to work me in over the next month and get them fixed. It will be good to get that project crossed off my list. It has been on my list for almost two years.
Called the glass people about the window they are to be replacing. They haven’t called me back. I’m almost ready to find another company to deal with. This companies communication is very poor and I’m tired of nagging them. I don’t trust what they tell me when they finally tell me something.
We are getting a few sprinkles on the prairie this afternoon. Trusting we will get several inches of rain over the next two days. There are deep cracks in my yard that need filled with water. The forecast is showing the possibilities of some rain. Trust the storms won’t bypass me like the storms the other day did.
Kathy told me she is coming for two weeks the end of September. She also said Gene might fly out and stay for a bit and return to MA with Kathy when she drives back. It would be nice to have both of them here for a bit. I haven’t seen Gene for over three years.
A friend of a friend called me today and wants to come see the house. This lady wants to hold a retreat in the Flint Hills. Not sure what her story is yet and when she is looking to hold a retreat or what type of retreat she wants to do. I called her back and left a message but she hasn’t called me back. I appreciate the referral from my friend.
Called my accountant and asked him some questions about the solar energy tax credit. He is to investigate and call me back the first of the week.
Feels like I have lots of little projects in the works right now. I’m waiting on several people to give me more information so I can proceed to get things crossed off my to do list. I have delayed doing some home repairs and need to get caught up.
Got a fairy egg from my chickens today. I always smile when I see one. They aren’t good for anything but they do make me smile. Only got one other real egg from the chickens today – the slackers! They aren’t eating as much food as they should be. Not sure what is up with that.
Waiting for the mood to clean house to come over me. I have guests coming Saturday night and need to do some cleaning. My get up and go got up and left me behind. Having trouble getting motivated to do much the last few days. I’m not as tired this afternoon as I was yesterday but still not back to 100% energy level. Wonder if the pneumonia vaccine I got Tuesday morning knocked me down for a bit? My body reacts weirdly to medications.
Grateful to have gotten some more painting done today, grateful I found some shorts on sale that will work for post surgery days, and grateful for the fairy egg that makes me smile.
