I am so ready for January to be over. One more day! Trusting February will bring better luck to me and will be a smoother path. January was a huge challenge for me on several fronts.
I have worked on my tax homework a bit today. Got through one problem but have a mistake somewhere as one of my answers isn’t listed in the multiple choice answers the book has. The second problem has me totally lost and confused. I will do the other problems and then I will have to get help with this one. It is a situation where we will not be doing anyone’s taxes that are like this. Still don’t understand why they test us over situations we won’t see.
The rooster tried to come after me today when I was taking care of the girls. I kept the empty water bucket between me and him and he finally stomped off to the other side of the coop. I’m going to take a ball bat down there and leave it in the coop so I can go after the bastard if he does that again.
I called the heating guy to come out and see if he can discover why there is a banging noise in the furnace duct work. It seems to be moving around and comes from different places. Sometimes I think there are spirits that live in this house and mess with me. We shall see what he finds. I requested the only repair guy that I trust – Justin. He can solve problems no one else can. He is to come either Wednesday afternoon or sometime on Thursday.
I got the garage cleared of trash and the trash taken down to the curb. Kathy had taken some down last week after we missed two weeks of taking it down. Still had a pile of trash that needed bagged up and the area around it cleaned up. Feels so good to have that cleaned up and gone. I will need to dump recycling and then the garage will be back to normal.
Had someone contact me today out of the blue and is coming to talk to me tomorrow. If I decide to do what they are asking my life will turn upside down for a bit. Not sure that will happen but I can’t look away and not entertain the possibility of a big change. I’ll see how tomorrow goes and go from there.
The funds for the windows got deposited into my account overnight. What a relief that is! I had stretched myself too thin financially for a while and was uncomfortable with the hole I had gotten into. Grateful to be out of that hole for a bit. Trusting the rest of the hail damage will proceed as planned without any more unexpected financial issues. Enough already!
I have a friend coming over tomorrow so we can work on her advanced directives. That will be a fun morning for me. I’m grateful to be able to be in service to others and help them through this process.
Thursday morning I have to go to Emporia for a haircut, a Chiropractor visit, drop my taxes off to my accountant and get some groceries. I also need to go by the Vet’s office and get some HeartGuard as I forgot that last time I was there. Both Saturday and Sunday I have Celebration of Life Services to go to. Friday I should be able to stay home and have a quiet day.
Next week I have a routine doctor’s appointment on Wednesday and I am hosting a Final Wishes Workshop on Saturday/. This week will be my last free week before I start doing taxes and exercising. I will pay special attention to my empty space that week and soak it in as I won’t have near as much of that starting the following week.
This has been another spring like day on the prairie. It reached 60 today with bright blue skies and little wind. I had a coat on doing the chicken chores and it was too heavy for me. We are to stay like this for the next couple of days. It is giving me a bad case of spring fever.
We are going to have four days in a row of temperatures staying above 40 all day and night. Too bad two of those are on the weekend and the EFIS guy won’t work then. Next week we are going down to the low 50’s for the high and the high 30’s for the low.
The window guys came this morning and took the plastic off the two windows they installed yesterday. They didn’t come to the door to let me know they were here. What a waste of manpower that they had to send them back just for that.
Sitting here thinking of the way the Universe works. I am learning very slowly to trust it more and know that it has my back in all ways. I have always liked to know the next three steps ahead of me and what my options are but am learning it isn’t always in my best interest for me to know that. Doing my best to learn how to stay present with what is and allow that to be enough.
Grateful the trash is out of the garage at long last, grateful the rooster didn’t get me today, grateful for this beautiful spring like day on the prairie, and grateful for possibilities that lay ahead of me.
