I slept in spurts last night. I would sleep for two hours then be up for two hours. Rinse and repeat all night long. I didn’t feel like I got good sleep last night and am tired this evening.
After I got up this morning I went to Emporia to paint. The pest guy had come yesterday as did the plumber. Two things crossed off my list. I got the kitchen cabinets painted so they are ready for the doors to be rehung. I did other woodwork painting too. I think I am getting close to the end of the painting. It feels possible that by Sunday I will be done with painting.
There is still a small pond in the back yard so am seriously concerned that I have a major problem. A couple of years ago we did a repair on the sewer lines but it is looking like I have another problem. Trusting I can find the right people to get it fixed in a timely matter and at a reasonable cost.
Tomorrow I am meeting the electrician so he can figure out why the kitchen light won’t turn on. I will stay and paint for as long as I can. I still have some walls to paint as well as more woodwork. It is possible the drain guy may show up tomorrow or Saturday. Tagen is to help me this weekend so that should help things move along.
Once I get all the painting done we will have lots of clean up to do. Tagen should be able to move in the following weekend if we can get the sewer problem identified and fixed.
Jason called me this afternoon and we had a nice long chat. I love when one of my kids calls and fills me in on what is happening in their lives.
I stopped at Walmart before I came home after I finished painting today. I got lots of the non perishable items off my Thanksgiving list. I forgot to get groceries for me to eat between now and Thanksgiving. Good thing I will be going back to town all three days of the weekend.
I got a letter from my insurance company today telling me they were not going to renew me for next year. I got hold of them and they told me to ignore it. Evidently they changed their policies and will only allow a client to insure two rental properties in addition to a residence. Luckily I had decided to leave one of the rentals with another company as I should be selling it early next year and leaving it where it was seemed easier than changing it. I trust they advised me correctly and I won’t run into problems when the renewal gets closer.
I picked up some Christmas cards while I was at Walmart today. It is almost time to start working on those. I usually write a Christmas letter to go with them. It takes me some time to write it. I save a copy each year and over the years they have become like a mini history book on my family.
While I was painting today I listened to some podcasts from my new mentor. It makes the time go by quickly and I feel like I am learning lots while getting painting done. My new mentor is helping me realize how the false matrix we have been in has to go. She does a call a week and I have been listening to some of the recorded ones to get a better sense of what she is teaching.
Grateful for more painting done today, grateful the pest guy and the plumber did their tasks, and grateful the preparation for Thanksgiving dinner has begun.
Hi Kay, you did put a new light bulb in the kitchen socket and it still doesn’t work? That’s all I’ve got! 😊
