Kathy and I headed for KC at 9:10. First stop was lunch with Nicole at Chipotle. The food was delicious as always and it is always a great day when I get to see one of my kids.
After lunch we went to Kathy’s appointment at a clinic. Every one of the staff that we encountered was polite and professional. They took us right back and were very efficient. I really liked the Physician’s Assistant that we saw today. She was very easy to talk to and she listened well.
Stopped for gas afterwards and then we came home. We got home around 3:45. Both of us are wiped out and grateful to be home. There is something about driving to and from KC in the same day that wipes me out.
I have a haircut tomorrow at 12:15. I will probably stop for lunch afterwards and then stop and pick up a few groceries. I haven’t been cooking much so won’t need many.
When I got home today I realized I had put my shirt on backwards today. yikes! Good thing it is one that pulls over my head and I doubt anyone noticed it. Maybe the wrong one of us had an appointment at the clinic!
I didn’t get but one phone call made today. I need to call the plumber and find out where he is. He was to have gotten to the house I am selling last week. I also need to call about a check Kathy was to have received that hasn’t hit our mail box yet. I also need to check on a utility company matter that I haven’t heard about a resolution to an issue yet. Maybe tomorrow I will have a day where I can make some calls and get some things moving and off my pending list.
Nothing on my calendar except my haircut tomorrow for the rest of the week. I may go to an event at Pioneer Bluffs Saturday evening but only if it cools down a bit. I do not do well in the heat. I do need to go by the Detention Center Friday and pick up some donations that the Center cannot use. I will need to find another home for them.
No nibbles on the house I am selling in Emporia. My realtor had warned me that the market has come to a halt. Not sure what I will do with the property if I can’t get it sold. I really don’t want to rent it out again but may resort to that if it hasn’t sold by the first of September. Anyone know of someone that needs a short-term rental property? It is two bed, one bath with a large back yard located in Emporia.
Hoping to get the paperwork on Max’s probate this week so I can finish up that project. Only have two more things to take care of and that project will be complete. It went much easier and smoother than I feared it would. Trusting the last two things go easy too.
I heard the term “Corn Sweat” for the first time this year. I have seen three articles from three different people about it. Has anyone else heard about it? They are claiming that as the fields of corn dry out that contributes to the humidity in the air. Wonder why I have never heard the term before and how long that term has been used? Curious minds want to know.
I posted an update to the Detention Center Project and asked people not to send things that are not on the list to the center. I open myself up for attack every time I post. I just wished that people that don’t like this project would suggest a better one. I understand some of what they are saying but I really don’t like it when people criticize without suggesting a better solution. Some are very free with other projects they want me to organize too. I am finding I have to check to see if I am regulated after I read the comments and if I am not to take some time to regulate myself again. Once I am regulated again I can remind myself for every negative comment there are 10 positive ones. Guess it is human nature to let the weight of the negative ones have more than their share of space in my head.
I have been learning some valuable lessons for myself with this little project. Betting I have even more lessons for myself as this project plays out. Why is it so hard to ignore ignorance and criticism? I cannot let one person’s negativity derail this project.
Grateful for a safe trip to and from KC today, grateful to spend time with Nicole today, and grateful for kind and compassionate staff at the clinic.
