Got some of my to-do list done today. I called the garage door opener repairman and he is coming later this week to see if he can make some adjustments so the openers work easier. Called the roofing guy to have him check out the roofs of two of my rental properties. My property manager had asked me to have that done as there was a hail storm earlier this spring and lots of roofs in the rental properties neighborhoods had major damage. Unfortunately both roofs need replaced. I will have to call and file an insurance claim. Not sure they will pay much as both roofs were rather old to start with and I have a high deductible. OUCH!
Went into Emporia and got chicken feed, oats, and dog food. As I was pushing the flat cart out the door at Bluestem a worker there offered to load my car for me. I ask him if he would come home with me to unload too. Dropped Craig’s garage door opener off at his house. Feels good to get some things crossed of my errand list today.
Kathy’s guest is leaving around 1:00 so after she leaves I will need to get a bedroom and bathroom cleaned. I don’t have any other guests coming until the 27th so have lots of time to flip the room. Still need to detail clean the other bedroom and bathroom downstairs and hand-scrub the great room. My knee is almost healed from the blister I got scrubbing floors last week.
I sent a question to my mentor to answer for me on his monthly phone chat he does as part of the class I am taking. I am struggling to see myself as a person in a right-sized body. He said I don’t have a reference point for being thin in my mind’s database. He explained it is kinda like getting old. One day you look in the mirror and wonder what the hell happened. It is hard to see the daily changes to ourselves. He didn’t really offer me any advice as to how to help that process along. Last time I lost weight I was very uncomfortable being thin and gained all the weight back. At least this time I am very aware of the disconnect and am not allowing it to throw me off my path of living in a right-sized body. Sooner or later I will look in the mirror and see the difference.
Not much else on my agenda of things I want to do today other than calling the insurance company and filing the two claims. I hate to talk on the phone and have already made two calls today. This needs to get done so I am going to have to dig deep and find the whatever to make the call.
This has been one of those days where I felt like I could get some things done. Don’t always have days like that so have been taking advantage of it. Loose ends feel uncomfortable to me for some reason right now. Not sure why I am feeling that way right now. Sometimes I get subtle hints from the Universe to get my self together and get things done. Feels like one of those. I have learned it is usually in my best interest to listen to them and do what I need to do sooner rather than later.
Grateful for the helper at Bluestem today, grateful for my mentor and his lessons and teachings, and grateful for days where I feel like I get something accomplished.
