It was a long day. I was in town by 9:00 this morning to do taxes at the Senior Center. I got done around 11:45. Ran a couple of errands and then decided to come home as I didn’t have any thing else to do until 3:30. Came home for two hours and then went back to town to go to exercise.

We did the same video we had done Monday at exercise class today. It was easier today as I knew what to expect. The time goes fairly quickly and we get lots of rest in between sets of exercises. They don’t want my heart over 100 so they don’t work me too hard.

I stopped and got a little something to eat and then went to the Credit Union and did another tax shift. I lose track how many returns I do and how many I review. I had a bit of a challenging one tonight but I asked for help and got through it.

Finally got home for the day a little after 8:00 tonight. Grateful I get to stay home tomorrow and refill.

Stopped by John Deere to pay the mower service bill. They still haven’t delivered the mower and the guy that delivers has a personal emergency and won’t be back until next week sometime. Good thing I don’t need the mower right now. It will get home someday soon.

I was hoping to sign the final contract today but I didn’t get it yet. I know it got revised today as they called to ask for a clarification on something. I will get it tomorrow and get it signed. That will be huge for me and a real relief.

It was another beautiful day on the prairie today. The temperature hit 68 today. It was windy though so it didn’t feel that warm but I didn’t have to wear a coat down to do the chickens. I will take a day like this in February anytime. It is going to cool down a bit through the weekend and then heat back up next week. We may hit the low 70’s next week.

I have a couple of little projects to work on tomorrow. None of them are urgent but I would feel better if I got started on them. I’m hoping the locksmith will make it out tomorrow or Friday and get the back door fixed. I don’t like when little projects get dragged out longer than I think they should. I have no control over when the repair guys show up. Must have needed another lesson on patience.

Still holding myself above the neutral level on the consciousness scale. I’m amazed I have been able to do that. Lots going on around here and most of it is hurry up and wait. I don’t do that well.

Grateful this long day is over, grateful I have a rest day tomorrow, and grateful for a spring like day on the prairie.
