Rainy day on the prairie. Not sure how much we have gotten as my rain gauge is down. There are nice puddles everywhere. I’ll have to wear my muck boots when I do chicken chores in a bit. The sun has come out this late afternoon although it is still partly cloudy. Nice to see the sun for a bit today.
Went to the Vo-Tech to have my teeth cleaned this afternoon. Abby did a great job. It took almost two hours but she stuck with it and got them done. She graduates in May so I will have a new person next fall.
I filled eight more boxes to take to the Salvation Army. These boxes hold treasures (or junk) from my master bedroom closet. I still have some more to go through to get the last of it out of that closet and then I have the other closet in the master bedroom to go through. Yikes! I thought I had scaled down before. Finding lots to get rid of.
I found a full box of face masks I had made back in 2020. I will send them to the Salvation Army but am thinking they will probably throw them away. Maybe I should just do that for them. I made over 1,500 of them back in the day when we couldn’t find disposable ones. No one wears homemade masks any more though. Wonder if museums are collecting some of the homemade ones to save to show future generations of what we did to survive in 2020?
I didn’t do much this morning. I didn’t sleep much again last night. I finally fell asleep around 3:30 this morning and I slept until 7:00. Not enough sleep has me feeling a bit off today. I’m so tired but am unable to find sleep. I really wish I could find a solution to my sleep issues. I’m starting to get a bit desperate for a good night’s sleep.
Still need to do my 12 minutes of exercises for the day. After I do chicken chores I will get those done. Not feeling very energetic today and am going in slow motion.
Tomorrow afternoon I have to go back to Emporia for the sixth time this week. I will do exercises and then I have an errand to run if I am in the mood for it. I need to get my car loaded with boxes to take to the Salvation Army and get them out of my dining room. I feel like I am being displaced by boxes. Hopefully I can take those in tomorrow.
Truly hoping I can stay home all weekend. I need a couple days of staying home. Not sure if the rain we got will prevent the EFIS guys from coming this weekend or not. Sure would like to see them show up Saturday morning and get that project completed. We shall see what happens.
Next week I am doing taxes twice a day on both Monday and Wednesday. I am filling in for someone that has to go out of town. That means I will get to take at least five trips to town next week. So far it looks like I will get to stay home Tuesday and Thursday so that will help.
The guy that wants the solid core oak door messaged me asking if I would be home around 5:30 tonight. He might be able to break free to come get the door. He said he would let me know. 5:30 is about an hour from now and I haven’t heard from him yet. Not sure what is up with this guy but not really expecting him to show up.
I need to get brave and complete the paperwork so I can get a permit to have the shed at the house in Cottonwood Falls installed. I don’t like doing paperwork like that as it feels like it is written in a language I don’t understand. I will have to do it three times as I will also need a permit to tear down the garage that is on the property as well as a permit to build the new house. Those two permits can wait a bit as they are only good for 90 days. Too early to apply for them.
On the verge of being cranky today. I think I am more sleepy than cranky but it wouldn’t take much to push me into cranky territory. I don’t like low energy days when I have lots of stuff to do. Maybe with the sun coming out it will brighten up my day and pull me out of this funk.
Grateful my teeth are cleaned, grateful more boxes are filled and ready to leave this house, and grateful for the rain on the prairie today.
