Another busy day where I haven’t had a chance to sit down much.
Phil came out as I was leaving this morning. He replaced the circuit breaker for the dryer. I put a load of towels in the dryer this afternoon and it didn’t trip the breaker so thinking it is fixed.
I went to the hospital in Emporia this morning for my annual mammogram and bone density test. It was quick and painless.
Came home afterwards as I forgot to put the ladder in the car for painting. I did some laundry and gathered up trash to take to the curb, ran a load of dishes and picked up a bit here.
I went to Cottonwood Falls to deliver six dozen eggs. I checked on Tagen’s truck but it was still at the repair shop. Not sure when the junk man is coming to take it away.
A little before noon I had lunch and then I headed into town to paint. I got Ellexia’s bedroom painted. I still need to paint inside the closet but that is going to wait for another day. Today I did all ladder work and my arms were tired when I got her room done.
While I was there I tried to use the internet and discovered it wasn’t working. I called ValuNet and they came over to fix it. The modem was bad so they replaced it. I was impressed with their quick service.
Sutherland’s delivered the new oven while I was painting. Glad those two things got taken care of.
I noticed some shingles on the east side of the roof at Michelle’s new house were hanging on by a thread. I sent an email to the company that did the roof a couple years ago. The roof is still under warranty so they are going to send a crew over soon to fix it. That was a pleasant surprise that there would be no charge for that.
The guy that is moving Michelle later this week came by to look at how much stuff she has this afternoon. He is an old family friend so it was fun to visit with him.
I got 21 eggs from the girls today. I sold six dozen today but still have a bunch if anyone needs some.
Tomorrow the HVAC guy is coming to Michelle’s new house to check out the A/C and heater around 12:30. I will go in and wait for them to show up and learn how to change the furnace filter. I will paint on the inside of the closet while I am waiting for them.
I still need to call the glass guy and get him out to measure the window that needs replaced. I will try to remember to call him tomorrow
Looks like most of Michelle’s stuff will get moved on Thursday sometime. Not sure if she will be able to get the day off or not so will stay available if needed to help direct traffic for that. I’m sure that will be a very sweet day for Michelle. I trust this new beginnings for her will be productive and this house will serve her well.
Once the dust settles from the move, we will start the process so she can buy the house. There was too much going on to rush that. She should be able to close on the house sometime in November if she can get loan approval.
Maybe Friday I can start cleaning this house and resetting it from the kiddos moving out. The dust and dirt seems to be patiently waiting for me to get at it. As hard as the wind is blowing today and with how dusty it is, maybe it is a good thing I didn’t get a chance to get it cleaned before. Sure am hoping for some rain tonight to quiet down the dust.
Tagen requested chicken strips and macaroni and cheese for dinner. That boy sure does like those and can eat a bunch of it. He is bringing his girlfriend out for dinner so will need to make a bit extra.
I have been eating my dinner early so I can start my 14 – 16 hour fast by 5:00. I don’t get hungry in the evenings but I do get hungry mid-afternoon. I try to eat breakfast between 8:00 and 9:00 and then have dinner by 5:00 at the latest. It seems to be working well for me so far.
I’m not used to being so busy. I’m grateful I had a free week so I could take of some things for Michelle. It has been a stressful week for her. Sometimes it takes a village to support a family.
Grateful Ellexia’s room is done, grateful the roof repair is under warranty, and grateful the oven got delivered today.
