We weren’t very busy at taxes today. I only did five returns but reviewed at least five others. I had time between each return to visit and stand around. It makes for a long day for me when I am not busy. I don’t get the adrenaline rush I get when we see a hallway full of people slowly thin out.
I was tired when I came home at 2:30 and didn’t get much done this afternoon. I didn’t sleep well last night and didn’t have the energy to get out and paint. Darn! That will set us back another day getting the cabinet doors back up when we get home next week.
Jim and I talked at dinner tonight that when we come back to Stillwater Sunday we only have two weeks before the wedding. We have so much work to do on the house. Obviously we won’t get it all done before the wedding. We will have to stay focused to get at least the kitchen done and we will see what else we can get done too.
Jim is at choir practice tonight. I am working on finishing up the laundry and starting to pack for our short visit to KS tomorrow. Jim loaded the car today with stuff he wants to move to KS. Not sure what he put in it today to take. I still need to pack my suitcase tonight.
I think I am going to take all the new dresses to KS with me so I can try them all on and make a final decision on which one to wear to the wedding. Jim doesn’t have a floor length mirror so it is hard to see myself in them.
Several of the tax preparers have the virus bug that seems to be going around in OK. Fever, cough, tired, etc. Trusting that I won’t catch that this close to the wedding. Wish the ones that were sick would stay home!
So looking forward to being back on the prairie for a few days. My soul is craving some wide open space. The sunset here was beautiful tonight but we don’t have a big view of it. It is to be nice this weekend in KS and hope to be outside painting most of the day on Friday and Saturday.
I need to remember to go by John Deere while I am home and pay for the mower repair. I had to have new blades put on it as the others were so beat up they couldn’t sharpen them. I wasn’t surprised when they called to ask permission to replace them. The rocks in my yard are hard on mower blades and hard to avoid.
I have a list of things I need to bring back for the wedding weekend. We are having 19 people at Jim’s house the day before the wedding for dinner and then on wedding day for a brunch. I will need to bring some folding chairs back so we have a chair for everyone to sit in to eat. I also need to bring my mixer as I want to make cinnamon rolls for the brunch. I need some short sleeve shirts as the temperatures are rising here in OK .
Have a bit of a headache tonight and a bit of a sore throat. Trusting it is because I am tired and by tomorrow morning will be gone. I am tired of being sick and don’t have time for it right now.
Grateful to be headed back to the prairie tomorrow, grateful for to-do lists that keep me somewhat organized, and grateful Jim was understanding and encouraged me to rest this afternoon when I got home.
