I moved things around in the living room this morning to see if I could get to the walls to paint. I almost tipped the bookcase over but got it moved safely. Everything else moved easily.
I met a friend at the Grand for lunch. I needed to pay my water bill and needed the exercise so I walked to lunch and back. Had a delightful visit with a dear friend. It was good for my soul!
Came home and started painting the living room. I had a webinar to attend this afternoon so I listened to that while I painted. I had to stop and do a meditation practice but I needed a break from painting by that point anyways.
After the webinar Kathy and I went to a friend’s house for Happy Hour. It is good for my soul to sit and visit with some like-minded women. Came home and started painting again.
I am almost done. I needed to take a short break and find some energy to get the job done. I won’t get the room put back together again tonight but will finish up the painting.
The webinar was interesting. It was put on by the lady that is leading the retreat I am going to in Costa Rica. She taught us how to regulate our central nervous system and talked about how that can help one heal. I’m not sure any of it was new information for me but she connected some dots for me that helped me understand the process better. I’m grateful I listened to the webinar today and know it will help me in the future. It makes me excited for the time I will get to spend with her in Costa Rica.
I like the color I choose for the living room and dining room. The living room is one shade lighter than the dining room. The color name is Quietude. I think I choose the color for the name. It is a soft sage green. Somehow it warms up the rooms and gives them a more comfortable feeling. I will be grateful when I get the room put back together again in the morning.
Tomorrow I have exercise at noon and then I am picking up Ellexia and bringing her home with me. She is meeting a friend at the Cottonwood Falls pool mid afternoon. Not sure how they are getting home but guess they have that covered.
I sent a bunch of emails and messages to people today to follow up on some pending things. My accountant responded that they mailed my estimated tax coupons last week. I am thinking they must have mailed it to my old address as I haven’t gotten them yet. They are due June 15 so still have some time. My property manager retired and one of my rentals got transferred to another property manager. I hadn’t received any paperwork so I checked to make sure we were good to go. The new property manager said we are good to go. Not sure that makes sense but whatever. I scheduled a haircut for Thursday. Good to get those things all taken care of this morning.
I’m getting tired tonight. I woke up around 5:00 this morning and couldn’t go back to sleep. I didn’t take a nap today so am running on low speed tonight. I really want to push through and get this painting done tonight. I only have one full wall and part of another one and I will be done. I think I can. I think I can.
It does feel good to get this painting project completed. I may do another couple of rooms another week but these two rooms were at the top of my to-do list. Good to get them crossed off the list.
Best get back to painting so I can get it done. If I sit much longer I won’t be able to get back up again.
Grateful for a wonderful lunch with a dear friend, grateful the painting project is all but done, and grateful for mentors that teach good stuff.
