I didn’t sleep very good last night. I woke up to a beautiful sun rise this morning. It was as if the sun was saying welcome home!
I had a very busy but productive day today. I worked from 9:00 – noon at the Emporia Public Library book sale. I was proud of myself as I didn’t buy a single book this time. I have plenty of books left over from the fall sale and didn’t need to replenish my stash.
After the book sale I met with my realtor/business partner and got caught up on my rentals. Then I picked up a prescription and my income taxes. Bought some groceries and then came home. Ate lunch, did chores and then had to go back into Emporia for a tax shift.
Came home from doing taxes and wrote some checks to pay some bills. Got the last of the mail that came while I was gone sorted and taken care of. Finished unpacking my suit case and sorted laundry to do for tomorrow. Started a load of dishes after I fixed dinner. It is good to be back home doing normal things.
Tomorrow I have my last tax shift to do at the Senior Center. It has been a fun volunteer project to do taxes. I have really enjoyed doing them. I’m glad it is over though so I can have a bit more free time. My soul is craving some empty space days.
After being with my Match guy for three weeks it sure feels lonely being in my house by myself. I miss him! He is coming down Sunday afternoon and staying until Tuesday afternoon. We are sure putting the miles on our cars traveling back and forth to see each other.
The wind is howling tonight. A cold front is going to be coming through and dropping the temperature for a day or two. It has been in the 80’s again today. I like the 60’s and 70’s better. I’m not ready for summer heat yet. I need to mow tomorrow afternoon so hoping the wind will die down a bit before I mow.
Sitting with a bit of restlessness tonight. The wind does that to me sometimes. I am also very tired as I haven’t slept well the last few nights. Changes are coming and I am struggling to release the anticipation of what if. I keep reminding myself that right here, right now all is well. Rarely does the future unfold in the way I imagine it will. Things have a way of working out for me if I can allow them to unfold organically and not push things to go a certain way. That has been a hard habit for me to break though.
Grateful for a productive day, grateful for the opportunity to have been in service to others by doing taxes, and grateful it is bedtime. I am tired tonight!
