This has felt like another busy day. The friend that I was going to meet with this morning needed to postpone our visit so I got a bit more time at home this morning.
Went to Emporia and met a friend for lunch. It did my soul good to have a deep, personal conversation. I so admire this friend and honor her journey.
Kathy and I had a meeting with the local funeral home this afternoon to take care of an insurance matter. I think it went well and trust that what we did today will solve a problem.
Kathy and I went over to a friend’s house for a happy hour after our meeting. It is always a treat to visit with dear friends and catch up with them on their lives.
Came home and am ready to sit for a bit. Grateful I don’t have any plans for tomorrow. Saturday I have to take Sophia to the Vet to get her drain out. Trusting that will go easy. The incision looks a bit infected but hoping it is not bad. She is on antibiotics and pain pills. She seems to be recovering nicely so far.
My realtor called and said she was at the rental house taking pictures and is hoping to get the house listed either today or tomorrow. I am not holding my breath and thinking it will sale quickly. One never knows and we shall see what happens. The realtor did tell me the bathtub faucet is still dripping so the plumber must have had to order parts. Trusting he will get back over there next week and get it fixed. The drip is running up the water bill.
So far next week is looking much quieter than this week was. I’m sure something’s will come up and fill in my calendar a bit but so far I only have something to do on Tuesday and Saturday next week. I welcome some empty space time. If feels like it has been a bit since that has happened.
One day next week I want to go to Emporia and pick out new flooring for Kathy’s bedroom. Her room is the animal house room and one of the cats has soiled her carpet. It needs to be replaced. I may go ahead and do my bedroom too. I’ll see how prices are and then decide. My room can wait as animals are not allowed in my room.
I can’t say I was surprised that the Big Beautiful Bill passed today. I read some of the comments from both sides of the isle and it is certainly interesting to read how both sides are defending their positions. Truth is hard to find. It really does remind me there are two different realities happening at the same time. It was hard to remember that I was reading about the same bill.
A measure of a man is how they treat those that can do nothing for him. Not sure the big beautiful bill can measure up to that standard. I simply can’t understand why so many are so afraid of those that have a different skin color or those that were born somewhere other than the USA.
The coming days and months will be an interesting time in this world. Wonder what path most will choose – one of love and unity or one of people that are not like me need to go. I have to believe that love will win out.
Grateful to have lunch with a dear friend, grateful for happy hour, and grateful for a stay-at-home day tomorrow.
