Happy birthday to my oldest daughter Michelle. She has become a wonderful mother, daughter, wife and friend to many. I am so proud of her. But how did she get to be 42? Where does the time go?
Worked on changing some more passwords today. I finally have all the passwords changed that were involved in a security breach according to iCloud password manager. I still have lots of duplicate passwords to change. Some sure go fast and some take me an hour to change. I keep learning little things along the way. Maybe by the time I change all of the remaining 67 duplicate passwords I will have learned all there is to know. Most of the remaining are accounts that I only used once and will not use again. I am deleting many of them.
Got the new tires put on my car today. They showed me the old ones. The inside rim of the tires were worn completely out. I have an appointment to get the wheels aligned later this month. Jim says it is unusual that the tires should have worn like that as the car only has 39,000 miles on it. I have had them rotated as recommended. BJ at the station said he sees it all the time in SUV’s. Thankful for Dieker’s and the care they take of my car.
We did some work on Jim’s financial information today. We are changing my trust and changing beneficiaries on some accounts. He doesn’t like doing that type of thing. I helped him get on-line and print the change forms we need. I need to get those completed and mailed. One of them needs notarized and I can’t notarize something for an immediate family member so we will take it to our attorney’s appointment tomorrow and get someone there to notarize it for us.
It is a pain to do all this type of thing but it feels good to have it done. We may have more homework to do after the visit with the attorney tomorrow. Trusting this will be the last time we have to change our wills and beneficiaries.
Tomorrow we go to KC for a 1:30 appointment with our attorney. We may stop afterwards and have lunch and maybe a quick stop at Costco. I don’t have many things on my list but Jim enjoys going. I’m sure we will find somethings that we can’t live without if we stop. Nicole is out of town so won’t be able to stop and visit with her.
Jim ordered a stone marker for the top of our driveway. It is ready to come home. We have to figure out how to unload it from the back of a pickup. We will need a fork on a tractor to pick it up and put it down where it will belong. Jim will work on getting the spot for it level and a gravel bed put down. It will be fun to have it home and on display.
No plans for this weekend. Nicole and Geoff will be stopping by for a short visit Sunday so they can pick up there beef. They are at the Winfield Bluegrass Festival and will stop on there way home. It will be good to see them for a brief little bit.
Starting to feel the pull inwards that happens this time of year. Fall Equinox is next week and the next three months are usually difficult ones for me emotionally. I turn inwards and work on those things within that I need to change my relationship with. I used to try to get rid of them but learned I was throwing away a part of me. Everything has two sides and when I run into something internally that I don’t like, I am learning how to flip it over and see the benefits it brings me. Not always easy work but oh so important to do. My flaws are many times my best teacher.
Grateful for Dieker’s and the care they provide for my car, grateful for my daughter Michelle and all the love and joy she brings to me and others, and grateful for the lessons and rhythm Mother Nature provides us if we are willing to tune in and learn.
