Another night where sleep was hard to find. I finally feel asleep around 5:00 this morning. I was sleeping pretty good when my phone rang around 9:30. Four and one-half hours of sleep is better than none – right?
The garage door people came to fix the remote for the garage door opener. The only problem was the lock button on the wall opener had gotten turned on. I had never notice there was a lock button on that opener. Dang it anyways. That was an expensive service visit to teach me that lesson. It will be nice to get to use my garage again.
I haven’t gotten much done today. Another low energy type of day. Still waiting on the internet repair guy to come. The internet has started working on and off today. The wind is rather brisk and it must have blown the receiver back into position. I’m going to let the repair guy go ahead and come and maybe he can fasten the receiver down a bit so it will stay in place.
I was waiting for the funds for the painting of the deck from the insurance adjuster. I finally got hold of him today and he told me he paid those out when the claim was first filed. Uhm…. I’ll have to go back and verify that. I hadn’t realize that if that was what was done. Good to know I have already received them though. Not sure why he didn’t tell me that two weeks ago when I sent him an email asking if he had received the bill.
I called my house builder but haven’t heard back from him. He was to be working on drawing up the floor plans and was to have gotten hold of me a week ago to make an appointment so I could see what he has done. I haven’t heard from him. If he doesn’t get back to me soon, I may have to choose another builder. He may be showing me who he is and how he works by his poor communication. I tend to give people too many chances and this guy has been anything but prompt in responding to my messages.
It has been a good day to stay home. I am still a bit cranky and would not be able to people well today. I have another long day tomorrow as I have to make two trips to town to do two tax shifts and exercise in between and I need to recharge a bit to handle that.
I have eight more boxes ready to load up in my car to take to the Salvation Army while I am in Emporia tomorrow. I still want to get a closet cleaned out in the laundry room and may find another box or two to add to the pile. I can’t believe how much stuff I am finding to get rid of. Good to have it gone. I don’t think I could tell you too many things I got rid of and know I won’t miss any of it. Makes me wonder why I hadn’t gotten rid of it before.
I need to take the trash to the curb and load my car up with bags from the barn to take down with it. I love seeing all that stuff leave the barn and free up space and energy. The trash can isn’t very full this week so I might be able to get a few extra bags taken to the curb today. Still have seven weeks to go so should be able to get it all taken care of before close.
Realized today part of the crankiness I am feeling is from sitting in the in-between space. I have an underlying sense of urgency inside that makes me feel like I need to be doing something right now but I can never figure out what it is that is urgent that needs done. I am in really good shape with the decluttering project and there really isn’t anything urgent that needs done. It is my sense of being uncomfortable with this in-between space that is causing the urgency. Reminding myself that is what is behind this feeling helps me to relax and allow it to be what it is. May it be so!
Grateful for a full day at home, grateful to cross some pending issues off my list, and grateful for figuring out what is behind my crankiness.
