I went to Ottawa for lunch today to meet someone who read the story on-line from the Kansas Reflector. We had a lob in common and spent over two hours together. It was nice to get out and meet a new friend.
On the way home I stopped at The Pome on the Range and got some apple donuts. When I got to Emporia I went to True Value and got two gallons of paint. I hope this color is a closer match than the two gallons I got earlier this week. I went to Walmart and picked up a few groceries and then came home.
I had to take a nap when I got home as I was wiped out. I had trouble waking up this morning and never did feel completely awake today. Trusting I will be able to sleep tonight.
A friend was going to the rally for Christy Davis this evening. It was a potluck in front of the court house. My friend needed a ladle for the dish she had brought as she had left hers at home. I ran one up to the event. I stayed and talked to several people and then came home before things really got underway at the rally. I was too wiped out to stay for dinner and to listen to Christy.
Tomorrow I hope to get some painting done. Phil came over late afternoon and did some more work. The back door lock came in and Phil got it installed. He told me to order a shower head and faucet set for the shower. Those will be in the 28th. Slow progress is being made on the addition. Phil hadn’t been able to work on it for several days so it was good to see him here today.
Friday my brothers are meeting Kathy and I for lunch and then we are going to scatter Gene’s ashes. It will be good to get taken care of. I think his estate is settled. I’m sure a few little things may pop up over the next couple of months but all the major stuff is taken care of.
I don’t think I have any plans all weekend or any thing on my calendar for next week. I may run to Costco next week and get a few things. I haven’t been for a bit and we are getting low on a few things. Other than that I hope to have a quiet week at home.
Not sure why I am so absolutely wiped out tonight. I may finish this up and go take my bath and go to bed. Having trouble keeping my eyes open.
This feels like it has been a busy week. I really do best when I have three or four days a week that I can stay home and not have to leave the house. I’m grateful next week looks rather empty at this point. This week started out slow but I have had something to go do everyday this week. I don’t function well these days being busy everyday.
It was fun to have a deep conversation with someone today. I think we are losing the ability to connect to our fellow humans and I’m grateful this person reached out to me. Not sure when our paths will cross again but it was nice that they intersected today.
This prison project is leading me on new paths. Just this week I have met three new people and have had deep conversations with them. Wonder who I will meet next?
Grateful for the opportunity to meet someone new, grateful to see the turnout for Christy tonight, and grateful I get to stay home tomorrow.
