It was not a good night for sleep last night. Didn’t fall asleep until almost 1:00 and then woke up at 3:00 and never did go back to sleep. Finally got up at 4:30 and started my day.
I got most of the kitchen cabinets cleaned out and new shelf liner put down in the cabinets that needed it. Feels good to get that job taken care of. I found some things to donate and did some rearranging so hoping I can find things easier.
Cody came out for the day around 8:15. He has been really good for me today. He was sick for several weeks before Christmas and still seems a bit quieter than his normal. I’m glad he came to spend the day with me.
The lady I ordered my blinds/shades from called to tell me the shades came in today. She is coming next Tuesday to install them. I sure hope I like them. I am pleased they will be up soon. When the sun shines (I think I remember that) the light is rather intense in the living room and it will be good to block some of it. I am hoping they will help with reducing utility costs too.
The window guys let me know the two back ordered windows are due in next week. They will need a week to prep them and then they should be out no later than the middle of January to install them. I’m anxious to get that bill to the insurance adjuster to see how much they are going to pay.
I’m going to KC Saturday to go to a retirement party for a friend. I think I will go up a bit early and go to Costco first. The party is a come and go and starts at 5:00. I’ll pop in for a bit and then head back home. I have to go back to KC January 4 for my first KU visit for the exercise program. I go back yet again on January 9 for the second and third round of tests. Lots of trips to KC in the next two weeks.
Sometime after January 10, I need to remember to schedule my second Shingles shot. I’ll have to make the appointment when I have a free day or two afterwards in case I react like I did with the first one. Luckily I was only down for one day afterwards. It will be good to get that over with. Still debating about the Hepatitis series. I’m not a high risk unless I decide to do some international travel over the next year or two.
I finally got the Sirius reset on my car radio. I was having trouble getting the reset signal to go through but it finally worked yesterday. Not sure what I was doing wrong but grateful it finally worked.
Got the heat lamp bulb replaced in the dog crate. When I came back up from doing the chicken chores the cat was lying underneath the heat of the lamp. She enjoys heat and will enjoy having the heat lamp going again. They have a heated pad in the big dog house that Roxy and the cat share. Roxy won’t let Sophia in the dog house so Sophia has to make do with a rug on the floor of the garage.
Feeling more and more grounded and settled. It will be good to have the New Year come with all the possibilities it brings. I am in a much better space this year and really feel like 2024 will bring lots of great things for me.
Grateful to have had a play day with Cody, grateful the shades will be installed next week, and grateful for new beginnings.
