The window guys showed up around 9:15. There are only two of them. So far they have put in two windows in the garage, although both windows still have some finishing work that needs done to them. They are working on replacing three in the guest bedroom now. I think that is all they will get done today. They have found some rot they have had to fix already and they haven’t gotten to the windows that have leaked badly.
I think they are coming back tomorrow but doubt that they will be here Friday as it is to rain most of the day. They will be around most of next week – if not all of the week and then some. I will have to clean the whole main floor when they are done. The snow has created lots of mud and although they are doing their best not to track in, it is happening. They make lots of noise and dust too.
I’m grateful this project is underway and will be done in a week or two. It feels like it has dragged on for a long time since the hail storm the middle of August.
I went to Cottonwood Falls this afternoon and dumped the recycling. The trailer was already half full but I had plenty of room to dump the six tubs I took. I’m grateful I didn’t fall on my ass as it was muddy and slick around the trailer.
Stopped at the post office and picked up the trays I need to do the Pioneer Bluffs Newsletter tomorrow and Friday. I had to wait a bit as the lady was having computer issues and struggled to get the guy in front of me completed.
Then I went to Kansas Graphics and picked up what they had done. I will go tomorrow around noon and pick up the rest of the mailing material. I will also go to the Chamber office and pick up the glue sticks and other stuff I will need. One of the volunteers is going to Pioneer Bluffs in the morning and is going to bring the supplies I need to the Chamber office for me to pick up. I will work Thursday afternoon and most of Friday to get it done. It should be ready to be mailed by Monday at the latest and there is a chance I will get it done by Friday afternoon. If anyone wants to come help, I would love to have help either Thursday afternoon or anytime on Friday. I will fix some soup for lunch on Friday if you come then.
Only brought up 10 eggs from the girls. That is the least I have gotten since they started laying. Don’t blame them for having a little protest strike. I don’t like cold and wet weather either. Kathy took nine dozen to sell at her work today. That cleaned out my egg stash.
I worked getting the money for the Christmas games put in the little zip bags. I have the hardest time getting those damn little bags open. I am almost done with that little project. I have to take breaks as I can only manage to do a few at a time before I get too frustrated. Sometimes it is the simple things in life that trip me up.
Still haven’t gotten any more treats made but plan on making something when I get done blogging. I think I have decided to wait to do the chocolate things next week so they will be fresher for the 9th. I need to make at least one more batch of fudge if not two, and a batch or two of peanut brittle. It is sunny today so will get one or the other made yet today.
I am a bit sore from going to the Chiropractor yesterday. He warned me I might be. I haven’t had to use ice as it isn’t that sore. Hoping in a time or two with him this will stop happening and I will feel better. Had a really bad headache last night but it is better today.
I took a short nap today. I had woken up at 6:00 this morning and couldn’t go back to sleep. I didn’t go to bed until after midnight so didn’t get much sleep. The nap helped take the rough edge off. I’m grateful I didn’t sleep all afternoon.
Hard to believe Thanksgiving was only a week ago. It feels like it has been a month or more. I keep wanting to type December instead of November. This last week of November seems to have lasted a long time.
Feeling a bit lost today for some reason. The winter is full of empty space for me and feels a bit overwhelming to me today. I need to find some project to work on and somethings to put on my calendar. Too much empty space is not mentally healthy for me. Once Christmas is over the 9th, I don’t have anything else to work on.
Grateful the window replacement project is underway, grateful for naps, and grateful the snow is melting today.
