I got a slow start to my day. I would wake up and be up for an hour or two and then sleep for an hour or two all night. Hard to feel rested after a night’s sleep like that.
I went out early afternoon to do an errand and discovered I had a low tire. Dropped my car off at Dieker’s and walked home. They could see the nail and it was in a bad spot and told me they may not be able to fix it. I called them a little after 4:00 and the car was ready so I walked up to pick it up. Luckily they did their magic and were able to fix the tire. This is the same tire I had a flat on a month or so ago. I rarely get flat tires and this car that has less than 6,000 miles has had two. Trusting this is not going to become a trend.
I did laundry today so when I get ready to pack all my clothes will be clean and ready to go. I did get my pill box ready and found all the electronic charging cords I need to take. It won’t take me long to throw four days of clothes in a suitcase and be ready to go.
I got Ellexia’s birthday presents in a bag and ready to take to her tomorrow. Hard to believe she will be 14 already. I trust she will have a fun day and birthday week.
Haven’t felt the best today. Low energy and a bit congested. I have sneezed a lot this week for some reason. Thinking it is allergies although I am not sure to what. Trusting by tomorrow I will be ready to go and this won’t develop into anything.
I did get our family day menu figured out and a grocery list made so when I get home next week I can easily get what I need to make the dinner happen. Jason is fixing pig tails so that will be easy for me. We discovered the Chiefs are playing at noon that Saturday so we moved the party up to noon so we all can enjoy the game. We will eat at halftime.
I am to be at Nicole’s house by 4:30 tomorrow. I plan on leaving at 2:00 as I have to stop in Emporia and drop off Ellexia’s birthday presents. Geoff is taking us to the airport and Nicole and I plan on eating dinner at the airport once we get through security. We have a 6:55 flight direct to Phoenix and arrive at 8:50. We are renting a car and driving to a hotel near the airport.
Thursday morning we have a hot air balloon ride at 6:30. After that we will drive to Sedona. I think our retreat starts around 4:30 Thursday afternoon. It is over Sunday morning around 10:00. We will drive back to Phoenix and fly home Sunday evening.
Grateful Kathy is here to take care of things for me while I am gone. It is a lot to have to walk the dogs four times a day with no backup help. The dogs prefer her company to mine so I know they are in good hands.
Fifteen days till Christmas Day. I am running behind this year being ready. I haven’t felt even a touch of Christmas spirit yet. If I remember right I never did last year either. Life goes on either way. My relationship with time is so wonky these days that I have trouble knowing it is even December. With being gone the rest of the week Christmas will be here before I know it. That is a good thing – I’m ready for it to be over and the New Year can begin.
Grateful it is almost time to leave for Sedona, grateful I didn’t have to replace a tire today, and grateful I discovered the flat tire today so it didn’t delay me tomorrow.
