The lady Kathy had an appointment with came on schedule at 10:30. Only problem is she forgot her papers and computer so we couldn’t do what she came to do. However, we had a conversation with her and it doesn’t sound like Kathy would qualify for the program the lady was here for. The lady may come back next week or do a phone interview instead. She came from Topeka so it was a long day for her.

Kathy got the approval on the application we were working on which is great news. Now I need to find someone to explain the benefits to me so I can make sure we use this insurance properly and get her all the benefits she is now entitled to.

I got one of two insurance refunds I have been waiting for. I forgot to call about the beef. I will try again tomorrow. Thinking I will wait and take it up next Thursday and save myself a trip to KC.

It was a good day to get to cross two things off my pending list. Hoping the trend will continue and I can cross another thing or two off tomorrow.

Kathy got a call from the life insurance company that we are trying to cancel her policy with. Last time we did this a guy called and gave her a hard sell and wouldn’t listen to us at all. Kathy had me talk to the person that called and it took ten minutes to convince her that we weren’t going to hear the hard sell. I finally told her we had contacted the Kansas Insurance Commission and they would be in touch. The lady finally gave up. Companies like these give insurance companies a bad reputation. Still waiting on confirmation of the cancelation of her policy and a refund of her premiums.

No plans for the weekend. I started some housecleaning today and need to do some more this weekend. I tend to put it off until it really needs done. The dogs sleep up against the walls in the living room and I got those scrubbed down today. They were disgusting.

Today felt like a long day. I took a nap this afternoon as I didn’t sleep well last night. Hoping I can sleep tonight and not start a bad sleeping cycle again. I had been sleeping rather well this week until last night. One of these days I will figure out this sleep thing – it gets old dealing with it.

Feeling a bit isolated again. I need to figure out a balance somehow. That seems to be a a reoccurring issue with me this year. I get focused on getting things done and forget about the fun side of life. I have circled back into the circle of responsibility and need to remember I don’t have to live in it.

Grateful for two things off my pending list today, grateful for afternoon naps on long summer days, and grateful to remember I don’t have to carry all the responsibility and can step out of it.
