This has felt like a hectic day but I’m not sure why. I had trouble with my Walmart grocery order. The first order I placed last week was put on delay. Not sure what that meant but I couldn’t add items to it. I finally started a second order to be picked up at the same time. Since the delay was still on today, I cancelled the order and added the things that were on that order to the other order. Only problem being once I cancelled the order, the order disappeared and I had trouble remembering what I had ordered. Not sure what I missed yet.
Tagen and I went to Cottonwood Falls to meet the tow truck that was bringing his pickup to Dieker’s. We got to Dieker’s just as the tow truck got there. Cody and BJ are going to give the pickup the once over and see that it is safe to drive. It has been parked for two years so needs new fluids, etc. Fingers crossed it won’t cost too much to fix up.
Then Tagen and I went to Emporia to run errands. We stopped and picked up the grocery order. I remembered to take a cooler for the cold stuff as we had other things to do after we picked up the order.
I stopped and got gas and was going to buy a bag of ice to put in the cooler but the station we stopped at didn’t sell ice. I forgot about stopping somewhere else to get some but the ice cream was still frozen when we got home so all was good.
Went to Tim’s house and dropped off the form that Tim needs to sign and get notarized so I can take Ellexia on our trip. Good to get that dropped off and that process started. I have one ready for Michelle to sign and get notarized too.
Tagen had to return some work shirts so we got that taken care of and then we picked up his girlfriend and came home. We were both glad to get back home and away from people.
The girls gave us four eggs today. One was a green/blue color and it came from one of the Easter Eggers. Yay! He only brought up four eggs today but it is a good sign that the Easter Eggers are laying now too. More eggs daily will be coming soon!
Got all the groceries put away. Some things I got double on and not sure why but oh well. Hoping I didn’t forget something I need before I can get back to town another day.
Michelle will be bringing Ellexia home with her tonight for dinner and then will have to take her back to town by 8:30. I have spaghetti and meat balls cooking in the crock pot so dinner will be quick and easy to serve. Just need to cook the spaghetti noodles and it will be ready.
The heating and air guy came today to do the check on the air conditioning unit. Everything looked good which was good. I had replaced the unit last year so didn’t expect bad news today.
Tomorrow Ellie, the fat cat, has to be in town by 8:30. I think either Michelle will take her or Tagen will as Michelle has to be at work by 8:00 and Tagen has weight lifting at 8:00. Ellie will need picked up at 4:00 so I will run to town to get her then. I need to remember to catch Ellie and put her in the laundry room tonight so we can catch her easily in the morning. She can’t have any food after 10:00 tonight and this way I can ensure that happens. If she stays outside I can’t control what and when she eats.
Friday I am going to Wichita to get my iPhone screen replaced and to make a quick stop at Costco. I need to restock snacks for the kiddos. A friend and Kathy are going with me so it will be a fun outing. I need a day away.
No plans for the weekend and most of next week. I need to start getting serious about the cruise and making my packing list. It is only 10 days away. I’m grateful Kathy and Tagen will be here to do chores for me. I won’t have to find a housesitter this trip.
This month is sure going by quickly. I can’t believe over half the year is over already. Not sure what I do these days but time sure seems to have sped up and go by all too quickly.
Still sitting in a good head space although my short term memory is acting a bit weird. I’m not sure what is causing that problem. I have to remind myself to slow down and make sure I turn off burners, etc. I made the wrong turn in Emporia today as I wasn’t paying attention. Hoping this is a stress reaction and not something else going on.
Grateful the pickup is at Dieker’s, grateful the errands got done and no one was harmed, and grateful for a blue/green shelled egg today.
