Another busy day for me. I was in Emporia this morning before 9:00 for a tax shift. Got done around 11:30 and came home to grab a quick salad then headed to Cottonwood Falls to do another tax shift. Got done there at 3:30. Stopped at the print shop to pick up some envelopes that were missing from yesterday but they weren’t done yet.
Came home and have stuffed 500 of the remaining 1,000 Newsletters. My shoulders were getting sore so am taking a short break and will get those finished yet tonight.
I am going to KC tomorrow to see Nicole and a few friends. I have another tax shift tomorrow night at 5:00 so will be gone all day and evening tomorrow. Thursday I work yet another tax shift in the morning and then will come home and hopefully finish up the Newsletter if the outer envelopes are ready.
It has rained off and on all day today on the prairie. My rain gauge is broken and I haven’t put the new one up yet so not sure how much rain I have gotten. It is nice to get spring rains. We haven’t had any spring rains for a couple of years. It is to rain most of tomorrow too. The fog is rolling in this evening making it feel darker and later than it is. I might go to bed early if I get my Newsletters stuffed.
This week got stuffed full of things to do and places to go. A bit too busy for my liking. I am craving an empty space day and that won’t happen until Sunday. I need to get a packing list for my trip next week started. On the top of the list is checking my critter feed to make sure I have enough on hand to last three weeks. I also need to clean the house and get it ready for the house sitter.
Sophia came home this morning from being gone all day and evening yesterday. When I talked to her this morning she wouldn’t look me in the eyes as if she knew she had done something wrong. I have got to find some time to find out why their electronic collars aren’t working properly.
My mind is empty and quiet this afternoon. Everything feels a bit like I am in slow motion. I didn’t sleep very good last night and thinking I am just tired. I haven’t had much if any down time today. I don’t usually have so many busy days back to back. I think my body is wondering what the hell I am doing to it.
Grateful for the rain on the prairie today, grateful for the interesting people I get to meet by doing taxes, and grateful Sophia came home this morning.
