Last night at 10:00 we lost power. A storm rolled through and brought another inch of rain. The power came back on about midnight. I had stayed up waiting for it until 11:45 and decided to go to bed. I had just fallen asleep when the lights came on and woke me up. Had trouble finding sleep after that for a long time.
Went to a friend’s house this morning and helped pack a few boxes. I remember being there four months ago. What a job it is! They treated me to lunch at Jacalito’s afterwards. What a fun morning it was.
Am working on getting the yard mowed this afternoon. It is hot outside and I work for a short bit and then come in and cool off and then go back out. Sooner or later I will get it done.
The newsletter for Pioneer Bluffs is ready to be stuffed so will be doing that tomorrow morning. I have to be in Emporia at 2:00 for exercise so may or may not get it finished before I have to leave. After exercise I will go to the Chiropractor and then go buy groceries for family day on Sunday.
I need to do some housecleaning Saturday. I will bring in a card table from the shed and some folding chairs so everyone can sit at a table for lunch. This will be the first time the kids will see the house since I moved in. I’m so looking forward to family day.
Found out the basement foundation company I used two years ago to fix one of the rentals is out of business. No wonder they didn’t answer their phone. The past owner was kind enough to respond to my email and give me the name of someone else that might be able to help me out with a foundation problem at one of the rentals. I will call them tomorrow. The hot water heater got fixed today so progress is being made after the disaster on Tuesday. The flooring is going down next Wednesday.
Feeling a bit more grounded tonight. Still tired though as sleep has been hard to find the last couple of nights. One of these nights soon I will crash and get lots of sleep. Have been able to keep myself above neutral today all day. It felt good to be in service for a bit this morning. I need to find more ways to do that.
Grateful for the time spent with some friends today, grateful the hot water heater got fixed at Michelle’s house, and grateful for a lead on a foundation repair guy.
