It has been a busy day. The weather is much nicer than yesterday with bright blue skies and temperatures in the mid 50’s.
Five of us gathered for lunch to celebrate Kathy’s birthday. It was a delightful meal and even better conversation.
After lunch I went to pick up the birthday cake I had ordered for Kathy. I was supposed to have it for lunch but the baker wasn’t available for me to pick it up today until after lunch. Kathy and I will enjoy it later.
Then I went to the bank to finally get the proceeds from the sale of Michelle’s house deposited. The lady I needed to see was at lunch so I had to come back later.
I went to Jason’s office to drop off a check for him but he wasn’t there. I went to his house and found him there and gave him a check so he could pay the deposit for the guy that is going to clean out his drains.
Went back to the bank and was finally able to sign the papers to open two accounts and get the proceeds in the bank. It didn’t take long and I was finally done – or so I thought.
I left and headed to Sutherlands. Part way there I got a call from the bank that they had forgotten to scan my identification card and I had to go back so they could take care of that. Depositing this check took eight trips to various banks before I could complete what I thought would be a simple task. Not sure why this turned out so complicated but grateful it is finally done.
Went to Sutherland’s and got Kathy her birthday present and then I came home. Four hours in town today was too much! Grateful all the errands got taken care of and now I get to stay home for a couple of days.
I still need to figure out a way to cancel the house insurance on Michelle’s house. When I called last week they told me I needed to send them documents to prove that I have the authority to cancel the insurance. I wasn’t in the mood to deal so I need to call back and figure out what in the world they need and then figure out a way to get it to them. I will have to be in the right mood to make that happen. Some days I just can’t do that type of thing.
Today is Spring Equinox. A day that nature is in balance. I found some balance during lunch today while enjoying the company of my dear friends. Trusting I can hold on to it or at least remember how to come back to it. The greater world feels very off balance these days and it is easy to get pulled off balance.
Next week will be another fairly busy week as I am doing taxes three times next week. At least those trips to town will feel somewhat productive. I enjoy being in service to others. Most of our clients are very appreciative of our services. It is like greeting old friends as I work with repeat clients.
Hoping I will hear from my own tax accountant soon. At least now I have the funds if the news is not good. I know I will have to pay estimated taxes again this year due to the sell of Michelle’s house. Grateful I have the funds to pay them.
I’m a bit tired this afternoon. I wasn’t able to fall asleep until almost 5:00 this morning and I was up a little after 8:30. Since I don’t have anything on my calendar tomorrow I trust I will be able to sleep in tomorrow and make up on some lost sleep. This hasn’t been a good week for sleep.
Letting Mother Nature teach me balance today. I realized I have not been staying present to what is and have been in resistance to life lately. That is draining and nonproductive for me. Something feels like it shifted inside today and I let go of some things I had been holding on to. I will sit with this moment of balance and get this feeling locked in so I can return to it.
Grateful for my dear friends and Kathy and the wonderful lunch we had today, grateful all my errands got taken care of today, and grateful after eight tries the banking issue is complete.
