In the mail yesterday I got a statement from my orthopedic doctor from Wichita. It stated my account was over due and unless I paid immediately they would turn it over to collections. The only problem is they owe me $461.00. I called them this morning. The manager of billing happened to answer my call. She apologized and said she would look into why I got that letter. I told her I thought about sending her a note that if I didn’t get my refund immediately I would turn them over to collections. She laughed. She did tell me my refund check has been requested but it takes two to four weeks to process. I will have to remember that line and give it back to them if I ever go back to their office and owe them money.
I didn’t sleep much last night. When I got up this morning I went to the gym. I was able to do two full circuits on the equipment. When I got home I got my mowing done and then came in and took a shower and got dressed for the day.
I have a big retreat starting a week from Thursday and need to start cleaning rooms to get ready for it. On my agenda for today is to get at least one bedroom and one bathroom detailed cleaned. One problem with not having lots of retreats is too much time goes by without me cleaning rooms really good. This retreat I need to detail clean all four guest bedrooms and the three guest bathrooms plus the two main areas of the basement. I detailed cleaned my main level for my guests last weekend so that part is done at least. I only need to do the floors and dust upstairs.
I got up during the night and started my grocery list for the retreat. I am fixing five meals for at least fifteen people this time. I really need to spend some time making sure I am organized and have what I need. The facilitator for the retreat approved the menu choices yesterday so I can start planning now. I like to make myself a schedule of when to make what so I don’t forget something. It certainly isn’t as easy as it used to be for me to pull something like this off. I haven’t served that many people before so it will be a new experience for me. I can pull off one big meal for lots of people but haven’t cooked five in a row before.
My girls have given me 15 eggs already today. I took down a soft tomato to them with their greens this afternoon. They were fighting over it. Maybe the rooster thinks when I wear red I am something to eat and he likes to eat red things. He usually attacks me if I have bright red on when I go in the pen.
Time to get moving. I am getting sleepy sitting in my chair writing. Starting to lose my motivation to get things done. I have too much to do to allow that to happen today.
Hot, summer-like day today in the prairie. Grateful for my A/C that keeps my house comfortable. All is well although very warm on the prairie today.
