This has been a rest and recovery day for me. I am still in my pajamas as I forgot to get dressed this morning. It was too late in the day to get dressed when I realized I was still in my pajamas.
I went to bed around 10:00 last night and slept until 4:00 this morning. Around 6:00 I gave up trying to get more sleep and got up. Did a load of laundry and messed around a bit. Fell asleep in my chair around 11:00 and slept until 2:00.
I did manage to do the dishes today and fold and put away the load of laundry I did. That is absolutely all I have done today.
It sprinkled a bit this morning but this afternoon the sun is shining and it is warming up a bit. We are to get more rain overnight. It is starting to cloud over now as the latest storm gets ready to move in.
I haven’t heard if the highway between Cottonwood Falls and Strong City is open or not. The water has crested and the river is falling but it is still way out of its banks. I hadn’t planned on going anywhere today so haven’t checked lately to see what the latest report from the Sheriff is.
I had gone on-line to change Tagen’s electric bill to my name as he is moving out later this month. I got an email from Evergy today saying I had to call them as they were not able to complete my request. I detest the automated answering systems. I finally got to talk to a competent person but they had to call me back as the wait time was 30 minutes. She took care of the transfer. I had some anger and frustration come out as I was punching my way through the automated system. That is a sign to me that I need a couple more quiet days at home in time-out to allow my system to chill out.
I was able to get his gas bill transferred to my name without issue as far as I know. I thought I had taken care of the electric bill until I got the email today. I know the water bill has to be done in person at the city office. Next time I go to Emporia I will stop and take care of that one.
I still don’t know for sure when Tagen is moving out. He is waiting for his apartment to become available. Should be before the end of the month. After I have a definite date I need to decide on a realtor and get the house listed. It will be good to have it gone.
Starting to do some work on making a menu for the week that Kathy’s kids will be here. Still not sure when they are arriving and leaving and what their plans are. I don’t want to buy lots of extra food to fix and then find out they had other plans. Still have some time to complete my grocery list and menus but it helps me if I start early. It is a pain to have to run to Emporia last minute because I forgot something.
I haven’t heard from the surgeon yet and not sure when I might. The doctor’s report from my visit yesterday hasn’t posted on-line yet. That should have the details of who is going to call me. Maybe they are waiting to finish the report until the referral gets completed or when they hear back from the urine culture.
No plans for the rest of the week. It may be a bit before I get in my car and go again. It does my soul good to stay home for several days in a row. I have some little tasks that need taken care of when I get to them but nothing urgent that needs done.
Not feeling like I am at neutral or above today. The anger that came up during the automated phone call surprised me. I must have some trapped emotion that needs to be felt and heard so I can release it. The best way for me to allow that to happen is to have lots of quiet, down time. Grateful I can make that happen over the next couple of days. Sometimes I never know what the emotion that got trapped is and sometimes I realize after the fact.
Grateful for a chair nap today, grateful for a day of rest, and grateful for the Notes App on my iPad that helps keep me organized.
