I left for Emporia a little after 8:00 this morning. I started painting on the woodwork in the master bedroom and then did the other bedroom.
The tree guy showed up as scheduled around 9:45. He found lots of work that needs to be done in addition to trimming the limbs hanging over the power lines. It is cheaper to have them only come once and do it all than to have to have them come back later. He won’t be able to get to the work for about two months but we are on his schedule.
I painted until about 11:30 and then came home. I decided to order new hardware for the kitchen cabinets. I found some on-line that were very reasonable. A fresh coat of paint on the cabinets and new hardware will really update the kitchen.
I haven’t turned on the election returns yet. Way too early for me to do that. I plan on staying up late tonight and seeing which way things are leaning. Bet there is a lot of stress drinking going on around the country tonight. It feels like it will be a real defining moment for the US and the world.
Tomorrow I am staying home. I haven’t had a stay at home day for a bit and I need one. If it is nice I will finish painting my part of the porch. I have some other to do things on my list that I want to take care of. I also need some time to refill myself and ground. I don’t do well out and about if I don’t get lots of private and quiet space.
Thursday I have a meeting that got moved from Matfield Green to Cottonwood Falls. It will be fun to visit with two dear friends and plan a December event.
Friday I have to go to Topeka for a doctor’s appointment. I need to get some new blinds for the rental house and some house numbers for my new porch while I am in Topeka.
This weekend Tagen is off so we will be working on the house. He is getting anxious to move in and we need to get all the painting done. All the things I ordered for it are to be in this week so hoping we can get that all installed. Phil is to come install the ceiling fans and maybe help Tagen install the new front door lock and vanity for the bathroom.
I’m still feeling cautiously optimistic about the election results. It amazes me that it may be as close as the polls indicate. I also know that the winner will be the one that the universe in totality needs to move them to the correct path. It seems like there is an easy path and a hard one. Collectively we have taken the hard path before.
Grateful the election is over, grateful more painting got done today, grateful for a stay at home day tomorrow.
