I went to Cottonwood Falls this morning to vote and to check about the permit situation for a shed. Only one vote on the ballet and that was for the President nominee. That was quick and easy.
I stopped by city hall and it turns out I do need a permit to put a shed on my property in Cottonwood Falls. The guy that sold me the shed yesterday told me to check. I got the paper work and will get it completed and turned back in. I hate filling out that type of paperwork. They ask things I have no idea how to answer. Will do the best I can and let them figure the rest out. It costs $10 for the permit. I also asked about building a new house – that permit is $50. Grateful the shed guy tipped me off on this need as I wasn’t aware I needed one. I will get it filled out and returned later this week so I will be good to go when the shed gets delivered in April.
Went to Council Grove to have lunch with a dear friend. It was so good for my soul to have lunch today with her. I need to remember to do this more often. This friend is the type that really sees and hears me and we can go deep together. Love those conversations. As a bonus, two other friends came in for lunch and I was able to get a hug from each of them. Great way to spend part of a day.
I stopped at the grocery store in Council Grove to get the few groceries I needed this week. That was easy and now I don’t have to make a stop in Emporia tomorrow.
The drive to and from today was beautiful. The sun is shining and it has warmed up to the mid 60’s today. A delightful day to drive through the hills.
I called the door guys to come fix my garage door opener. I’m not sure when they are coming. They told me they would text me a time but I haven’t gotten a text yet. You don’t realize how much you depend on a garage door opener until it doesn’t work. Guess I better get used to it as I won’t have a garage to park in at the house I am moving to May 1. It will be nice to have one again when the new house gets built and I get moved into it.
Still need to do my exercises for the day. They only take 10 -15 minutes so not a big deal. For some reason my FitBit is not sending data to KU so will need to get that figured out when I have the patience to do so. Not impressed with the FitBit. This is the second issue I have had with it and I’ve only had it for less than a month. I would think they would work longer than that.
My friend took six dozen eggs today and another friend requested three dozen for tomorrow. I had given 12 dozen away Sunday to the EFIS workers so my egg supply is finally low. Glad the eggs found a home and I didn’t have to waste any. They will pile back up again in a week or so.
I haven’t heard from the plumber this week. He told me he would come out last Friday to install the new booster pump but didn’t show up. Any bets as to when he will come? Sure wish there was some communication when things change. I can deal with change but it makes it easier to do so when someone tells you about it. I don’t like guessing when someone will show up.
Tomorrow will be a two trip to town day. I will do taxes in the morning and then go to exercise at noon. I will go back to town at 5:00 for an evening shift doing taxes. I have a couple of errands to run when I am in town. Not sure if I will do those the first or second trip. I’ll see how I am feeling after exercise. If the tax shift gets done early I might be able to get them done before exercise.
Thursday I go to the Vo-Tech in the afternoon to have my teeth cleaned. Friday I go back to Emporia for exercise. Six trips to town this week. Maybe I will get to stay home this weekend.
Kathy took the trash can down to the curb so all I have to do is load up the car with the bagged trash from the barn and put it by the trash can. It feels good to get more stuff out of the barn and gone. I have six boxes ready to load in the car and take to town tomorrow to the Salvation Army. I’m sure I will have a bunch more to take as I declutter more rooms. I keep thinking the end is in sight but then think of more places to go through. I will get to the end someday soon.
I’m tired this afternoon so not sure I will try to get much done today. I didn’t sleep well again last night although I got a bit more sleep than I had the night before. One of these nights I will crash and get sleep. Just wasn’t last night. I may have to take a nap this afternoon. Not sure I can stay awake until bedtime.
Sitting in a good head space today. Having a deep conversation with a dear friend is medicine for my soul. It feels good to take a day off and let things be for a bit. I will be busy tomorrow with taxes and exercise so won’t get anything done then either. I will get back at it Thursday and declutter some more spaces. I have eight weeks from Friday to get it all done. The clock is ticking down, down, down. I can do this.
Grateful for a wonderful lunch and conversation with a dear friend, grateful the shed guy told me about the needed permit, and grateful for the privilege of voting.
