It was another one of those nights last night where sleep was playing with me. I doubt if I got more than two hours of sleep all night. Dang it anyways!
I was in Emporia before 9:00 this morning. I left early in case the roads were bad. No problems at all. I did several returns and reviewed a couple others. The clients are so appreciative of our work. It is fun to work with them and my fellow preparers.
We were done by 11:30 today. I was going to stop and get some groceries but couldn’t do it so I went straight home. I had skipped breakfast so I fixed myself some lunch. Sat in my chair for a bit and then decided to drive to KC this afternoon.
My appointment tomorrow is at 9:00 which meant I would have to leave home by 6:30 and then drive through rush hour traffic. I went on-line and found a hotel close to where I need to be tomorrow morning. I quickly packed a few things and headed to KC.
Luckily Nicole and Geoff were available and we met at the Hereford House for dinner. It was fun to have dinner with them and catch up on life. After dinner I came to my hotel and got checked in.
I turned TV on but went through 98 channels and couldn’t find anything to watch so I turned it off. It feels good to sit in the silence tonight. Hoping I will be able to go to bed early and get a good night’s sleep tonight. Feeling very tired tonight.
Tomorrow morning I will have several blood draws. I have to go fasting. Then I will go through a bunch of physical exercises such as sit to stands, lots of walking, some sort of treadmill test where they wire me up, and lots of others. Still feeling a bit drained from my tummy issues Tuesday so not sure how well I will do. Oh well, it really doesn’t matter to me how well I do. I will do what I can and say that is enough.
Since I saw Nicole tonight I won’t go have lunch with her tomorrow. I may stop at Costco before I come home just because I am near one but I may not be in the mood to stop. We shall see what I do. I have a thing or two on my list but nothing that is essential.
No plans for the weekend. There is a chance we are going to get more winter weather Saturday so it will be a good day to stay home..
I have to come back to KC next Tuesday but not sure I will be able to as we have a very good chance of yet another winter storm coming through that day. I may come up Monday night so I will be here but not sure I want to drive home in snow so may have to reschedule that appointment again. I think I am to have that session completed by February 20 so not sure what the options are. I will have to ask tomorrow what other options are available. I am not going to risk my life to do that test.
It is nice to get out of town tonight. I forget to go sometimes. The room is warm and quiet and I hope I get a good night’s sleep. It is a relief to know I am only 8 minutes away from where I need to be at 9:00 in the morning. I can sleep in and still make it on time.
Feeling a bit isolated today. This dual reality seems to be getting wider and wider apart. The path I am on feels like one that I am to walk alone for a bit. Life is like that with ebbs and flows. I do some of my best inner work when I am spending more time alone. It can be hard though and lonely. I’ll climb out of this space sooner or later.
Grateful for the safe trip to KC today, grateful to have gotten to spend time with Nicole and Geoff tonight, and grateful for a quiet night alone.
