Busy day. I was in Emporia by 9:00 this morning to do a tax shift. I didn’t get done until 11:45 and should have stayed a bit longer but I had to get to exercise at 12:00.

Did exercise for 45 minutes and then went to the Chiropractor. I stopped for lunch and then came home. By then it was almost 2:30. I fell asleep in my corner chair and didn’t wake up until 4:00.

I quickly did chicken chores and went back to Emporia for my evening tax shift. We had a busy evening and I was done around 7:30. Came home and collapsed. I am worn out from the day and not getting good sleep again last night.

I stopped at Sutherland’s and got a new tool box. The other one I had was a bag and a strap on it broke and it was hard to manage. Got a box this time – we shall see how long it lasts.

I forgot to take the boxes to Salvation Army today so will try to remember to do that tomorrow when I go back to Emporia to go to my dental appointment. My appointment is at 1:00 and I probably won’t be done until 3:00 or after. I go to the Vo-Tech and they take a long time to clean my teeth as they have to get their instructors approval after each step.

The garage door people texted me today to tell me they will be out on March 12 to fix my garage door opener. Dang, sure wish they could come sooner but I guess I will take them when they can get here. I miss parking in my garage.

Still haven’t heard from the plumber about the booster pump. He was to have come last Friday to install it but didn’t show up. Guess he will come when he can. Sure wish he would let me know when that might be.

Hoping tomorrow morning I can get back to the decluttering project. I haven’t done anything on that project since Monday. Time is clicking down and I need to get that project finished up so packing will be easy and quick. I have a little over eight weeks to go and time is slipping away fast.

Friday I go back to Emporia for the sixth time this week for exercise class in the afternoon. Sure hoping I can stay home all weekend. I’m worn out from going to town everyday this week. I’m hoping the weather is warm enough and dry enough that the EFIS guys can come back and finish up that project this weekend. We shall see if they can come and if they come if they can get it all finished up. That will be a huge relief to get that project completed.

No plans for the weekend except lots of decluttering. It will feel really good to stay home for two days in a row. The biggest adjustment I have had to make with the exercise program is making three trips a week to town to do them. Doing taxes adds to the number of trips a week too. It’s a big change for me as I used to only go to town twice a week at most. I am a routine type of person and love staying home.

Even with all the busyness of the day, I was able to stay above the neutral level. Taxes are fun for me this year and it is easier for me to ask for help when I don’t know something. Time goes by fast when I am doing them and the people are so appreciative of the service we are providing. I am humbled by them and wonder how people survive on so little income.

I’m really tired tonight even with taking a nap today. Sleep has been very hard for me to find lately and the lack of it is catching up with me. Every night I think tonight is the night where I will get lots of sleep and that hasn’t happened for a bit. Sure wish I could fix my sleep issues.

Grateful to have been in service to others today, grateful for an afternoon nap, and grateful for the sleep I am going to get tonight.
