This has felt like a long day. I didn’t get to sleep until after 2:00 this morning and woke up around 5:30 and couldn’t go back to sleep. Around 7:00 I gave up and got up and took a shower and got dressed.
Did a bit of housework. I was expecting a friend to come over at noon so I could help her with a tax situation but something came up and she had to reschedule for tomorrow.
I decided to go to Costco in Wichita. I had a list of things I needed with toilet paper at the top of the list as we were getting very low. I stopped at Chipotle and had lunch and then went to Costco. I filled the car up with gas since I was there and saved about $0.30 a gallon. Got a full cart of things I needed and other things that I couldn’t resist.
By the time I pushed the full cart around the store and loaded everything into my car I was worn out. Then I had to carry everything in when I got home. Dang, that was a work out. I got three cases of water and a couple of other heavy things. I found a nice winter coat for $30. I will use it mainly to walk the dogs so didn’t want to pay much for it. It feels really warm but I shall see if it is when it gets cold later this year.
Tomorrow I have to be at the rental house by 9:15 to meet the furnace repair guy. After that I go to exercise at 11:00 and then my friend is coming over at 2:30. I have a birthday party to go to at 4:00. It will be a busy day. I hope to get some painting done while the furnace guy is doing his thing.
Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday will find me at the rental house getting it finished up. I think if Tagen and his girlfriend help, we can get it finished up this weekend. Tagen is getting anxious to get moved in.
Luckily next week is rather quiet. I may need a quiet day or two at home to recover from four days of painting. I do have to go to Topeka that week to the eye doctor but other than exercise I don’t have anything else on my calendar for that week.
I need to make a grocery list for my Thanksgiving dinner. I like to get the non perishable things early so it isn’t such a big grocery shopping trip when I pick up the perishable stuff. I will look for a big turkey when I am in Topeka in another week.
I signed up for a year’s long class with a new to me teacher. She lives in South Africa and I have been binge watching her YouTube channel. She finds words for things I have felt but didn’t know how to explain. When I get a chance I will start watching her classes. I needed something to feed my soul and am trusting this will do that for me.
I have a feeling bed time might come a bit early for me tonight. I sure could take a nap right now but it is too late in the day to do that – especially since I have to be in Emporia by 9:15.
I signed up for a new prescription plan for 2025. I plugged in the drugs I take and found the cheapest one I could find. It is only $3 a month. I get all four prescriptions via mail and a 90 day supply at a time. Sure makes them cheaper doing it that way. I also had to change the bank account where my Medical supplement insurance is taken out of and I was able to figure out how to do that. Somedays that type of thing is easy and other days not so much. Today it was easy.
Grateful for a safe trip to and from Wichita today, grateful I was able to cross some things off my to-do list today, and grateful for a new teacher/mentor.
