I went out last night to watch for meteors. I didn’t see any but it was a beautiful night to sit out under the stars. There is too much light pollution to get a really good view but I am surprised at how many stars I can see living in town.
I went to Emporia this morning. I stopped at the Commercial Street Diner for breakfast. I got my favorite waitress and the food was delicious as always.
After breakfast I dropped off the check to pay for the new roof at my realtor’s place of business. Then I went to see Jason for a hot minute. My attorney completed the transfer of the deed from my name to Jason’s and had sent me the papers this morning. I dropped off a copy for Jason. I can cross that deal off my pending list! Yay!
I went through the car wash and then came home. The car wash does an OK job but there are always little spots of bug splash on my windshield when it is done. I’m glad I go through the car wash most every time I go to town as sometimes it takes several times through to get the splash off.
We didn’t get any mail today so didn’t move any of the other pending things off my list. It does feel good to be down to only one rental house now. I feel a bit lighter as a result. Sure hope I can get the other house sold yet this year. Trusting that the new roof and guttering will be good luck and I will get my money back.
Still haven’t heard from the butcher so I need to remember to call him tomorrow. He had told me two weeks ago the meat would be ready within a week.
Tomorrow someone is coming to do a home visit of some sort for Kathy’s application. Hoping it is the last step before her application gets approved. One never knows how many more hoops there are to jump through.
The guttering is to be installed tomorrow on the rental house. I already paid for it so hoping they do a good job.
Other than the home visit tomorrow morning I have no plans for the rest of the week. I will have to make a trip to KC whenever the meat is ready but not sure what day I will do that. Next week Kathy and I are going to KC on Thursday for her appointment at the KU Memory Care Unit. Maybe I will wait and take the meat up then and save myself a trip.
My birthday is next week. I usually plan my own birthday event but nothing has come to me to do this year. Maybe it will just slip on by and no one will notice it. I did order a cake for myself. I had gotten one for Kathy that was so delicious I ordered another one just like it for me. Kathy and I will enjoy eating it.
I need to call the kids and get a family day scheduled. We try to do that every three months or so and it feels like it has been a bit since we had one. Maybe we can celebrate my birthday celebration for whenever that day happens.
Feeling a bit uncomfortable with the in-between space today. I think I am even more uncomfortable with all the empty space that will happen after I finish my pending list. Time to find a new project. Just not sure what that may look like yet. The Detention Center is no longer taking much of my time. The next step of that project is being handled by someone else.
I need a project that will help build community somehow. I really believe that is how the world is going to change. We need to find ways to bring people from both sides of the isle together and work towards a common ground. Just not sure what project will help that happen yet. I will stay open to ideas and thoughts and see what happens.
Grateful the deed transfer to Jason is complete, grateful the new roof is on the rental house, and grateful for possibilities of finding common ground within my community.
