Sophia woke me up at 5:00 this morning. She wanted to do her first walk of the day. She did her business twice and we came home. Roxy wasn’t awake yet to go out. I put Sophia outside and I tried to go back to bed.

Roxy wanted out at 8:00 so took her on her morning walk. After I got home from that I deep cleaned the bathroom. Yikes it was dirty. One room down, six to go.

Took the dogs one by one on their noon walks. Sophia and I walked down to the river and back. Roxy didn’t want to go very far so we just walked around four blocks.

A friend came over this afternoon and I helped her fill out a tax form. Trusting it was filled out correctly and it will do what she needs it to do. Fingers crossed!

Phil poured concrete foundations for the four pillars that will hold the porch up. He went to town this afternoon and picked them up and is going to put them up tomorrow. Not sure what the next step is. While the foundation was exposed, he added some chalking and cement to the outer foundation that will be covered by the porch.

I have been watering this afternoon. It was a touch warm today and the ground really dried out. I let each cycle go about 30 – 45 minutes and then go out and move it. I won’t get all the yard watered today but it is a start. Hoping I remember to get at it again tomorrow.

I watched the debate last night. It sure helped to have set the intention to observe myself during the debate and see what, if anything, would trigger me. I didn’t fall down the rabbit hole or get upset with what was being said. Lots of lies on one side and not very complete answers to the questions from either candidate. They both kinda talked about what they wanted to talk about and ignored the question on the table. I watched a bit of the talk afterwards but that was starting to drive me a bit crazy so I turned it off.

For some reason this late afternoon I am feeling a bit anxious. I will have to slow down and figure out what my body is trying to tell me. I am tired so maybe that is all it is. Trying hard not to take a nap so I won’t be able to fall asleep early tonight. The dogs will get me up early tomorrow so I don’t want to nap now and stay up late.

Tomorrow I will probably go to Emporia to go to the Chiropractor and get some groceries. I have to go to Emporia Friday for exercise but my Chiropractor isn’t open on Friday. I have to go again on Saturday to go to a birthday lunch for Michelle. Sunday I should be able to stay home all day.

Grateful I was able to help a friend today, grateful one room in this house is completely clean, and grateful progress is being made on the porch.
