Today has been a bit of a frustrating day. I woke up at 2:00 this morning and couldn’t go back to sleep until 7:30. I slept until 10:15 and gave up. I’m tired tonight. Maybe tonight I will get a good night’s sleep.
We went in this afternoon to help box the Commodities. I don’t think I will volunteer again. I felt a bit useless and didn’t feel like I made any difference today. I have a lot of things on my plate right now and wasting my time didn’t feel good.
I didn’t make it in to the rental house today. I got up late this morning and then wasted two hours at the commodities thing. I have to go in tomorrow and work as I listed the house on Facebook today and have three showings booked for Sunday afternoon. The inside has to be done by then – or at least all but the back porch. I listed it as a June 1 move in date so I have ten more days to get the back porch painted and the outside painted. We will still have yard work to do after June 1 but am hoping most of the work to the actual house will be done.
I’m not sure any of the people that are coming to look at the house are the type of renter I am looking for but I will meet them and see what happens. I am going to be picky as I don’t want someone that will destroy what I have worked so hard to fix up.
The Pioneer Bluffs Newsletter material got delivered this evening. I won’t be able to get much done on it until Friday morning when some helpers are coming. I might get the Newsletter folded between now and then but we will see what happens. There isn’t a rush for the Newsletter this time so if I don’t get it done before Monday or even Tuesday next week there is no worries. I think I can finish it Sunday afternoon after I show the house.
Saturday we have a birthday party and graduation party to go to at noon time. I will have a bit of time after that to go in and work some more on the house and then I will have Sunday morning to do last minute things. Time is ticking by quickly.
I called and arranged for a bid to replace the guttering. I’m not sure when they are coming out to do so but trust it will be sooner rather than later. I got the bill for the carpet installation but it doesn’t include the planking exchange. I’ll have to call tomorrow and find out why they left that off.
Next week I don’t have anything on my calendar and Jim will be in Stillwater so I will have lots of time to work on the house. On rainy days I will paint the back porch and on nice days I will paint outside. Not sure I can get the whole house painted but bet I can get most of it done. I’m not sure how much time the handyman has to work on the house but hoping he can get the siding pieces replaced next week so I can get them painted. The extra siding pieces I ordered are to be delivered tomorrow.
Got a bit of house cleaned at this house today. I still have lots to do but I got it started. When I couldn’t sleep last night I got my laundry done. There are advantages to not sleeping at night.
Feeling a bit down tonight probably because I am so tired. I only slept about four hours last night – two before I woke up and two after wards. I laid down to take a nap this afternoon but couldn’t fall asleep. I hate having my time wasted due to poor organization and that is what happened today. It is so frustrating when situations are not managed well and people aren’t productive.
Grateful people are responding to the advertisement on Facebook about renting the house, grateful in ten days I will be done with this project, and grateful tomorrow is a new day.
