This has been a day of taking care of lots of little things. I was behind on my paperwork and needed to get caught up and get my desk cleaned off.
I took my car to Dieker’s to get the tires checked. The guy at the desk looked a little lost when I was explaining the problem. Luckily the owner was there and heard my story and knew what to do. He took my car right back to check things out. One tire was a couple pounds light. He took care of that but didn’t pull the tire off. He said to come back if it happens again and he will pull the tire off. Sometimes when a car sits for a week or more this can happen and it doesn’t really mean anything is wrong. I’m so grateful for small town service.
While I was waiting for them to finish my car I walked over to Prairie Rose and looked at fabric. Fabric bolts remind me of my mother and takes me back to the day when I was young and we would go to a store and pick out material for mom to make into my clothes. I found some lovely material that I got to make an apron. We shall see if I get it done!
I got my suitcase and backpack unpacked and cleaned out. I put my tennis shoes in the washer and washed them. They were beyond muddy and dirty. They didn’t get completely clean but look better. I don’t know if they will be wearable or not but it was worth a chance to try washing them.
I walked to the court house early afternoon to get my car tags renewed. I didn’t qualify for one of the new license plates this year but got the sticker. The young man that helped me was very efficient and quick.
I had been sent a letter telling me I qualified for two years of free identity monitoring due to a security breach. This is the second one I have gotten this year. I had another one that just expired so decided to use this one. I tired 20 different ways to register it on-line but kept getting an error code.
I called the monitoring company for assistance. It took them about 15 minutes to get me enrolled. I hung up but when I attempted to reset my password I got an error message again. I had to call back and they had to delete the old account so the new one would work. I finally am enrolled. That process was way harder than it should have been.
I attempted to change my address with three different companies. One I have to do in person. One had already gotten the change. The other I had to call. I got transferred twice and then the person transferred me yet again and I got cut off. I called back and the same thing happened. I finally figured out the website and did it myself. Dang, it was not easy either.
Dealing with user names and passwords is not my favorite thing to do. There simply has to be an easier way.
A dear friend brought over a cantaloupe out of her garden. I cut it up this afternoon and it is so, so good. Nothing like fresh cantaloupe out of a garden. I ate it and then remembered my acid reflux. Crossing my fingers it didn’t stir that back up.
I haven’t had any acid reflux symptoms today again. I do have a cough that I read acid reflux can cause. My throat and esophagus must be burned a bit and it is going to take some time for it to heal. I didn’t have any problems during the night which I am very grateful for.
This day has felt like it is going on forever. Time is moving very slowly for me today. I have gotten lots done and still have lots of daylight left to do things in.
I was able to stay above neutral all day even with dealing with all the complications of changing my address. I must still be on my Ayahuasca high from my trip! Whatever is helping me stay above neutral, I’ll take! Trust it will continue for a long time.
My heart monitor came in today so I will get that unpacked and figure out how to apply it tonight before I go to bed. I think I have to wear it for 10 days and then send it back.
Tomorrow I have to go to Emporia for exercise at 2:00 and then I will go to the Chiropractor and I need to get some groceries. Anyone know if the Colorado peaches are here yet? Sure would love to get a box of those soon.
No plans for the weekend. It is to be close to or over 100 this weekend so will be a good weekend to stay inside. I have some housecleaning that needs done so may get that done.
Grateful for a productive day today, grateful for my A/C, and grateful to stay above neutral all day today.
