It has been another long day. I had trouble finding sleep again last night although I did get more than I had the night before. I really didn’t want to get up and going this morning.

I took the dogs for their walks, one by one. We ran into a lady walking two dogs – one dog was on a leash but the other one wasn’t. I have run into her before. Her dogs are friendly but Sophia is hard to control around the dog that isn’t on a leash. I luckily spotted them and was able to detour around them and came home the long way.

Went to Emporia at 10:30 for my 11:30 exercise session. They were flagging traffic again today so had to wait about 10 minutes. I was towards the back of the line so it was slow going all the way to Emporia.

I stopped by the flooring place and paid for the flooring for Tagen’s bedroom. They were a bit slow in figuring out what I owed but they got it done.

Went to exercise and did my thing for 49 minutes today. I liked today’s exercises as it felt like I got a good workout in. We did a lot of yoga and standing exercises today.

Afterwards I went to a thing with Jason. It lasted from 1:15 until 4:00. It was somewhat productive but no resolution yet. Hard to see your kiddo have to go through this.

Came home afterwards. Kathy needed to return a pickup to a house that was on my way home so we agreed to meet at that house. I waited about 30 minutes and Kathy called and said she couldn’t cross the tracks as there was a train that wasn’t moving. She went back home. I came home through hill and dale. Not sure how I figured out a way home but kept following the line of cars ahead of me and they got me home. It took over an hour to get home.

Michelle let me know her hot water heater isn’t working since the power went off the other day. Dang it anyways. I’m getting really tired of having to fix things. I will be very happy when I am done being a landlord. Still haven’t been able to get hold of the basement contractor. His phone gives me four little beeps and then cuts me off. Not sure what that is about.

I am really tired tonight. It is probably more mentally tired than physically but I have absolutely no energy tonight. I am drained again. It is over 100 again today and what little I was outside today got to me. Trusting I can rest the rest of the evening and refill and recharge.

Tomorrow I am going to a friend’s house to help her pack. That will be fun for me. I need a day of doing something productive and of being in service. Friday I have to go back to Emporia for another round of exercise. Sunday the kids are coming for family day. That will be wonderful! I am fixing spaghetti and meatballs for lunch so that will be easy. When I am in town Friday I will stop and get what I need to fix lunch.

Next week I am going to KC Tuesday to sign some papers with my attorney there. I am meeting some dear friends for lunch before my afternoon appointment. That will be a fun day.

Feeling a bit unsettled and ungrounded tonight. When it cools down a bit, I will take the dogs for walks and see if that will help ground me. I’m hanging on to the neutral level but barely. I’m betting with some body movement and quiet, I’ll climb back up again yet today.

Grateful for a good workout this morning, grateful to have gotten to spend some time with Jason today, and grateful I figured out a way to get home around the blocked train tracks.
