I went to Emporia to take care of two banking issues. At ESB I was able to sign what I needed to sign and took care of business. At Lyon County Bank the lady I needed to talk to was on the phone with another client and then was going to lunch. I will have to try again. I have found at Lyon County Bank it usually takes two to three and up to five visits to get done what I need to get done. Wonder why that is? Think when I get the last rental house sold I will close that account and find another bank that only takes one visit.

Came home and took a nap. I had woken up at 4:00 this morning and was up till 6:30. Went back to sleep for another hour or two but didn’t wake up feeling rested. Felt good to get some more sleep today.

Got a text while I was sleeping to let me know the roof job at the house I have for sale is completed and the guttering will be done Thursday. That was fast. I will have to take a check in tomorrow to pay them. I trust this will help that house sell faster. Still no nibbles after being on the market for 40 days. Sure would like to be out of the rental business this year.

Haven’t done anything else today. Will have to run to town again tomorrow to deliver the check. Third day in a row to go to town. Maybe the person at the bank will be available and I can take care of that matter too.

One thing crossed off my pending list today. Better than some days I guess. Nothing came in the mail today that moved any of the other pending things forward. Patience, grasshopper, patience!

Today the in-between time felt OK but leaning towards uncomfortable. Most of the things on the list should be cleared off by next week and then what? I have way too much empty space ahead of me and that feels scary to me. I’m sure there is a reason for it and things will fill in. If not, it will be a good lesson for me on getting comfortable with being uncomfortable with empty space.

Grateful the roof got taken care of today, grateful one or two banking issues got taken care of, and grateful for afternoon naps on quiet days.
