This has been a bit of a frustrating day. The heat and air guys came and couldn’t do the job. They had to go to Plan B due to lack of space to cut a hole. Plan B requires Phil to cut the hole as it is through some material that the heat and air guys didn’t feel comfortable doing.
Phil and I talked and for now we are pausing adding heat and air to the back room. I have a space heater that has a thermostat on it that is keeping the back room nice and comfortable. We shall see what happens when it gets really cold or really hot next summer. For now, we are leaving things as they are.
I feel like I waited eight weeks for nothing except a bill from them doing nothing. Not sure what Plan C will be if we need to add heat or air.
Phil wants me to contact a glass company to have them do the shower door. I have to wait until he is done with tiling the shower and then have someone come bid the shower doors. Hope it doesn’t take long to get the material they will need and they can get them installed fairly quickly.
My bed is full of stuff I took down from the top shelf of my closet. I need to sort through it and get rid of somethings and put the stuff I want to keep back up. I would like to be able to sleep in my bed tonight so better get to it!
I finally got my box of thyroid medication after it being mailed USPS on November 26. I hope it hasn’t been frozen somewhere along the line. Not sure why it took so long – usually I get it in about five days.
I reread the paperwork I got regarding Love in Action. Both sets of paperwork were not official mail – they were from “sponsors” of the government. I wonder how they got my information? Grateful I read the fine print today and didn’t fall for their bullshit. Man, I hate spammers.
Went to Emporia to the water department to get the water out of my name for the rental I sold in November. They won’t be able to disconnect it until Friday. The lady had no answer for me when I asked why they hadn’t returned my phone call four weeks ago.
I stopped at Walmart while I was in town and got a new can opener. The other one barely worked and had a plastic sleeve missing.
I also stopped at Bluestem and got some more four inch nails. Kathy worked all day laying the new plastic tiles for the dog pen. I helped her a bit hammering some nails in. That project is complete and we will see what happens when it rains or snows. Not sure if they will hold up for long but fingers crossed it will work. At least now the dogs have a place to lay down if the ground gets wet.
I got a $240 Venmo donation from a group of 12 women for the Love in Action project. How very kind of them! They sent a note saying they are spreading some kindness and liked the work we are doing in Love in Action.
The insurance company handling the damage that was done to Kathy’s car when the neighbor backed into it sent a settlement offer. It is over $5,000! Yikes! I need to take Kathy’s car somewhere to a body shop and get an estimate. The insurance company will pay more if the body shop can justify why they need more. The car is very drivable as is so that project may wait a bit. They will allow me to rent a car during repairs if needed. Anyone know of a good body shop that can replace a driver’s side front door on a Subaru?
Tomorrow I have a doctor’s appointment in Emporia around 1:00. I have a funeral to go to at 11:00. Maybe I’ll have time for lunch in between.
Found out the wife of one of my mother’s first cousin died. I loved that lady and her family and I send my love to her six children and her grandchildren. She will be missed greatly. I will need to let some family know about it. This is the second death of extended family this month.
I have nothing on my calendar for the next couple of weeks after my doctor’s appointment tomorrow. That should give me some breathing space. I feel like I put things on hold to do Christmas last week and I need to pick pieces of my life back up again. Most of my projects are completed and it is time to look to bring something new in. I have four weeks before surgery to get some things done as I will have to take a six week break after surgery.
Grateful the dog pen project got completed today, grateful for this warm winter day, and grateful my thyroid medication showed up at long last.
