It has been a productive day for me today. Got up at 6:30 and went out to mow. Finished up around 8:30. I couldn’t tell where I had mowed on the outer parts of the yard and decided not to go all the way to the edge like I normally do. The yard looks better. I found some grass that needed mowed – most of it is dust piles.
Went into Emporia with Kathy to get some groceries. Remembered to get the girls a watermelon. They need the extra fluid during this heat. They love watermelon!
Went into Cottonwood Falls and got my driver’s license renewed. Got to drop my weight for the new license by 60 pounds from the one I had gotten two years ago! I had to take my passport, social security card, birth certificate, and an electric bill that proves my current address. I will receive the new Real Driver’s License in about two weeks. Wonder if I have to take the same documents next time when it is time to renew? I’m glad I had changed my name back to my maiden name or I would have had to take a marriage license too. I’m grateful the Chase County Treasurer could take care of it for me so I didn’t have to wait in line in Emporia. Sometimes living in a small town pays! No wait today.
Got the guest bedroom and bathroom cleaned and ready for the guests coming tomorrow. Made the bed and swished the toilet. They won’t get here until around 6:00 tomorrow evening so have all day tomorrow free.
Almost have the last tea towel in another set done. I’ll stamp two more sets when I get this last one done. Still enjoying making them so I will make some more.
Watched some fireworks around the horizon last night. I enjoy them more from this distance rather than being around the loud bangs and pops. Chase County is doing their display Saturday night followed by a street dance in front of the Courthouse. I’ll have to remember to tell my guests about it as I bet their children would enjoy going to it. Doubt if I go in.
I may go into Emporia tomorrow and get a pedicure. My feet are rough and cracked. They are catching in the sheets when I roll over at night. I have been working on them to sand them down but they need some serious work done to them. Anyone want to go with me tomorrow and get a pedicure with me?
If I wake up early again tomorrow morning I want to get out and clean out the chicken coop. It is due for it’s monthly clean out. Way too hot to do it in the heat of the day. It was nice out this morning mowing as it didn’t warm up until around 10:30 or so.
I have enjoyed my empty space day with no guests checking in or out today. I’m glad I have guests coming back though as I only need one or two days every so often with nothing on my calendar. I can relish them more when they aren’t a daily occurrence.
Grateful for the ease I was able to get my driver’s license renewed, grateful the yard is mowed and I was able to get it done before it got hot, and grateful for this empty space day!
