This has felt like a busy day even though I had down time this morning and mid day. It was nice to sleep in this morning and not have to set my alarm.
I met a friend for lunch at noon. Always a good day when I get to have a deep conversation with a like-minded friend.
I picked Ellexia up from school at 3:20 and brought her to Cottonwood Falls so she could have a tutoring session with another of my dear friends. I enjoyed listening to the first half of her session and then ended up having a good conversation with my friend’s husband. Lucky me to have two deep conversations in the same day.
I took Ellexia back to Emporia when she was done. Ellexia thinks she will do well on her test tomorrow. Ellexia is to get hold of me if she needs another tutoring session.
Tomorrow I have to be in Emporia at 9:00 for another tax day. I don’t like having to get up at 7:30 but I do enjoy doing taxes so that helps offset the early rise. I do need to stop and get a few groceries afterwards.
Friday I have a meeting at 11:00 and then I have several days of nothing on my calendar. Monday I am driving to KC and having lunch with Nicole and then going to my surgeon for a follow-up visit. Tuesday and Thursday next week I will be in Emporia in the mornings doing taxes.
I told Ellexia I would try to get to her game a week from Friday so I can watch her cheer and fly. If the weather is good I will go in. Luckily the game starts at 4:30 so it won’t be a late night.
I didn’t spend much time reading the news today. Interacting with people yesterday, today and tomorrow is all my system can take. I was in isolation for almost two weeks straight and it has been a bit of shock to my system to be around people this week. If I read the news it would have dragged me down to the muck pond.
I have been checking my blood sugar readings off and on today. They are lower today than they were yesterday. Not sure if having surgery can cause a spike for a bit or what is going on. I haven’t been as thirsty today as I was earlier this week. Sure wish my body had come with an owner’s manual so I understood better what it needs.
It was spitting moisture on my second trip to Emporia this evening. I will need to allow a little extra time in the morning to clear off my windshield. I was glad the temperature was 38 so it wasn’t coming down as frozen ice. The wind made things feel cold today.
I need to type out a letter for my accountant and then take my tax package to her. It always feels good to hand that off. Don’t expect her to be done with it for several weeks but at least she has it if she has time to work on it.
Still sitting with a situation with Love in Action and am not sure what to do with it. I have a meeting Friday that may help provide some direction. There are three components to the situation and all three feel complicated alone, let alone combining all three. I’m sure it will untangle in time and solutions will be found.
I stopped by the post office in Strong City today and got four more rolls of stamps to take to the Center. They pre-stamp the cards and envelopes ahead of time and when they refill their cart it takes a lot of stamps to get all the cards stamped. We should be good to go with the 800 stamps I have taken them the last two weeks.
It does feel good to rejoin society again after my isolation period. So far I have been able to stay above neutral while I am out and about. I get tired easily but that is probably due to the surgery factor. It is getting hard for me to remember I had surgery almost three weeks ago. I trust I won’t overdue and undo what surgery did.
Looking forward to a quiet weekend at home. I will cherish my two full days at home with nothing on my calendar. I suppose I will watch the Super Bowl more for the commercials than the game. I rarely watch live TV any more and usually have no clue what they are advertising. It is fun to guess though.
Grateful Ellexia found her tutoring session helpful, grateful to get the chance to see and visit with Ellexia today, and grateful for lunch with a friend.
