Whirlwind type of day. Went to Emporia this morning and did a special tax return. I stopped and picked up the couple we were working with, did their taxes and then took them home. It felt good to be able to help them a bit.
Stopped at Applebee’s afterwards and had lunch. I ate too much but it sure tasted good.
Need to take the trash down in a bit. It is a cold, windy day on the prairie today. Had some ice frozen to the windows this morning. The sun has come out this afternoon and it is warming up a bit but it is still cold. Going to be in the 70’s later this week. Gotta love spring time in KS – you never know what you are going to get temperature wise. Grateful we missed the snow that west of here got. The pile in the barn is slowly shrinking and I should be able to get rid of all of it over the next four weeks.
I’m not doing taxes tomorrow but will have to go to town for exercise. It will feel weird not doing taxes but I will take it. Good to have a week off. Two more weeks of doing taxes and we will be done for the year. I’m grateful I went ahead and did them this year in spite of the awful prep work that has to be done. The actual doing of the taxes is fun and I enjoy helping people out.
Got a phone call this morning to let me know the shed I ordered for the new property is going to be delivered next week. They are two weeks ahead of schedule. They are to nail down a time mid week and let me know when I should be there to meet them.
Also got notified that the mower I ordered has shipped and will be here next week. I hope I like it and it works well. It was well rated in several different places that I checked. It will be a change from the zero turn one that I have been using the last ten years but I think I can adjust to a steering wheel. We shall see how steep the learning curve is.
The new bed I ordered is being delivered tomorrow afternoon. The guttering guys are to come either tomorrow or Thursday. Lots of things finally getting taken care of around here. My pending list will shrink after all these things get taken care of.
Ellexia got to choose the dessert for Saturday and she wants banana pudding so I stopped and got the stuff to make that while I was in town today. I’ll stop on Friday and get bananas for it when I go to town for exercise. That will be an easy dessert to make.
Plan on going downstairs this afternoon and doing some decluttering and packing. I have two bookcases full that I need to go through and cut down in quantity. I know I have room for one of the bookcases but not sure I have room for both. I’ll take both in case I can make them work but need to reduce the number of books I have downstairs as I have some books upstairs that need to fit on the bookcases too.
I also need to carry upstairs the six boxes I am going to take to the Salvation Army. I also have a few other things that I need to get rid of somehow and those need to come upstairs so I don’t forget about them. Still need to pack the furnace room stuff that I am taking. Most of the stuff in that room are in totes but there are some loose things that need boxed up for the move.
I move five weeks from tomorrow and the clock is ticking loudly in my head. Those weeks will fly by and I need to be ready. Not sure if we are being loaded on April 30 and unloaded on May 1 or if the mover is going to do both ends of it the same day.
It will be nice to have tomorrow morning and evening free. It doesn’t take long to do exercise so my trip to town tomorrow will be a short one. I’ll go to the Chiropractor before exercise at noon and then be able to come home and stay home after exercise. No second trip to town tomorrow evening – that will be nice.
Sitting in a good place today. Felt good to help a couple out today and get them caught up on their taxes. Feels good that several things are going to get taken care of that have been on my list for a bit. I feel supported by the universe when things get taken care of and I am seeing lots of movement right now. That helps me know that making this move is the right thing for me at this time.
Grateful to have been in service today, grateful we dodged the snow last night, and grateful it is to warm up later this week.
