Just got home from Wichita. It has been a long day for me. I left home at 8:25 this morning and got home at 4:30.
I did taxes this morning. We had a busy day and not much down time today. Most of the clients needed Homestead tax forms and that takes a bit to figure. I finally feel comfortable doing them this year.
After I was done with taxes I went by CVS to pick up a prescription for Kathy. I then headed to Wichita. I stopped at the Matfield Green rest area for lunch and then continued to Wichita.
I got to the dealership about 15 minutes before my scheduled time. A 10 minute job took almost two hours. They tried to up sale me some maintenance things that aren’t even due to be done. I politely declined them.
After my car was done I went to Costco and picked up a few things. I didn’t need much so it was a quick trip in and out. Came home after that.
A couple times both ways a semi would attempt to pass another semi and traffic would back up. I was slowed down to 50 MPH at one point. The semis were struggling to get up the hills in the wind. The wind was blowing hard both ways. I especially noticed it on the way down. I got six miles more per gallon coming home than going down. Should have set a sail on my car coming home and I would have gotten home real quick. I passed a semi with three trailers that were weaving and bobbing all over the road. Grateful I wasn’t driving a semi today.
Tomorrow I need to be in Emporia at 11:00 to pick something up and then I have a thing I am going to after that. I may stop at the bank and make a sixth attempt to get a check cashed and the proceeds invested. Not sure if I can do it tomorrow. It may wait till Thursday.
It will be good to have a couple stay at home days after that task is done. Next week I am doing taxes three days so it will be another busy week. We only have three more weeks of doing taxes after this week so getting close to the finish line.
We are to get some snow tomorrow after it was almost 80 today. Gotta love Kansas weather. If you don’t like it, hang around cause it might change the next day. The cold isn’t to last long and by the weekend we will be back up in the 70’s. I like that type of snow!
Jason let me know the drain guys are coming to his house tomorrow to give him an estimate of adding clean out things to his drain. I need to drop a check off so he can give them their required deposit. His drains have been backed up for almost a month now and it will be nice to get them back open.
Felt good to get the recall thing taken care of today. Turned out it didn’t impact my car but it is good it got checked out. I got my list of things I needed at Costco taken care of too so it was a productive day. I need one of those occasionally.
Feeling a bit empty this afternoon. I don’t do well being gone all day anymore. I’m grateful I have several days ahead of me to refill again. My body is telling me the weather is going to change. My allergies are really bad this spring. I feel drained and like my body is fighting off an infection of some sort. Guess time will tell.
Grateful the recall is taken care of, grateful for a safe trip to and from Wichita in the wind, and grateful my butt is in my comfortable chair for the rest of the day.
