Went to Emporia this morning to drop off a tax form at the accountant’s office. Grateful she hadn’t finished my taxes as I didn’t realize this form would be coming. It was for an investment account I had for a couple months in 2022. I had closed the account and had forgotten about it. The account’s tax form didn’t have to be out until February 15. This was the first time I had opened an account like that and didn’t realize the tax consequences for it. Glad I closed it when I did.
We got very little snow overnight. It was snowing when I drove into Emporia this morning but it was a very light, dry snow that I didn’t have to use my wipers for. The sun came out for just a hot minute this afternoon but got covered with clouds quickly. The wind has been in a hurry this afternoon and we got a few flurries. Didn’t amount to much moisture.
Tomorrow it is to be clear and warm up to the mid 40’s and reach the 50’s over the weekend. I like those temperature ranges better than the 20’s and 30’s. Ready for winter to be over and for spring to arrive.
Got the lab results from my cancer blood tests and they are the same as last time. It is always a relief to get those results back and know that there is no deductible cancer blood levels.
Went downstairs and did some more cleaning. The basement is almost ready for guests. I will wait until the day or two before my guests come to vacuum and do one last dusting. It feels good to have half of my house cleaned. I don’t know if it has been extra dusty lately or if it had been a long time since I dusted but the dust was thicker than it normally is when I clean.
I have a pot roast thawing. I meant to cook it today but forgot. I will try to remember to put it in the crock pot tomorrow morning. I’m trying to use up some beef and I do enjoy pot roast. It will be way too big for me to eat though and I will get tired of it before I can use it all up. Anyone want to come over for dinner tomorrow night and help me eat on it?
Tomorrow at noon I am meeting some friends at the Grand for lunch. I enjoy the women that are coming and it will be good for me to get out of the house and have some conversation with others. When I go to Cottonwood I need to remember to load the car up with recycling and get it dumped.
I didn’t sleep real well last night. I took a nap late morning and slept for another hour or so. Finally woke up feeling rested. It has been a couple days since that happened.
I have stuck to my eating plan so far today. I do feel better on several levels when that happens. Trusting I am back on the wagon and can stay there and get some of this extra weight off again. I sure can put it on faster than I can take it off.
This has been a better day for me than the last two or three were. This roller coaster I seem to be on is unpredictable and I never know from hour to hour if I am going up or down. I do my best to allow whatever direction it goes and remind myself to enjoy the ride. There was a time in my life that I didn’t allow myself to feel my feelings. They can still catch me off guard at times with the wild swings. But I have learned if I allow what ever comes up and honor it, I level out pretty quickly, relatively speaking.
Grateful I got the tax form to the accountant before the taxes got finished, grateful the blood cancer test was negative, and grateful I am back on the wagon.
