I had a tough night. I didn’t feel very good and had bad reflux. Not sure what I ate to bring that on. I have reflux from time to time but it had settled down lately so was surprised when it flared up again last night. Yuck!

I went to Emporia late morning to take care of the CD that was renewing. They had a special 11 month CD at a 4.25% interest rate so that is what I choose. I got a cashier’s check for the interest on the last one.

Went through the car wash and then came home. Still trying to get all the bugs off the car from the long road trip last month. I may have to take a scrub brush to the front fender.

I haven’t done much since I got home. I may go take a walk when it cools down a bit more. I went out last night around 8:30 and it was a good time to take a walk.

I read that the Council Grove fruit and flower stand has fresh peaches and strawberries. I may have to drive up there tomorrow and get some. I love eating at Hays House. I’ll have to see if someone wants to ride along.

Still haven’t heard from the surgeon. A nurse responded to my message to the doctor and told me they faxed the referral today. She didn’t tell me the name of the doctor so will have to wait till they contact me. Trusting they will get hold of me soon.

I called an exterminator to come spray for ants. However they wanted to charge $225 and I decided against having them come. I had some powder I had gotten a while back and had never tried. I dug it out and went outside and put it around the foundation. Maybe it will work. If not, it is going to dry out soon and the ants tend to go away then anyways.

I don’t have anything else on my calendar until the ballgame on Saturday unless I go to Council Grove one day this week. I need to find a project to work on. None of the projects I have pending are in the place that need my attention yet. Still waiting on someone or something else before I can move them forward. I do need to finalize the menus for next week and my grocery list.

Just saw a post on Facebook that said commodities distributions are on pause due to the federal budget cuts. That is too bad and will hurt lots of low income people. Maybe as these cuts start to get personal and affect people we love and care about, more people will become vocal about them and demand they be restored. We are all going to have to step up and fill in the cracks that will be rapidly developing. Way too many people are going to be hungry and hurting.

Still sitting in that in-between stage. Today it felt manageable and I have been able to let go and allow the things pending to be on hold without anxiety. Things do eventually work out and they do go smoother if I can allow them to unfold in their own way and time.

Grateful the CD got taken care of today, grateful I can step into the in-between stage today without anxiety, and grateful for this empty space time.
