Today's prompt is "Who inspires you?" I am inspired by Michal who is a Reiki Master, a teacher, and influencer among women.
Today is Tuesday and it is now 0947. I have completed my morning routine, including my 1 mile walk on the incline trainer. I am ready to lay down to be honest. I have the first Harry Potter movie on in the background.
Today I have two appointments. One is to get a quote for replacing the windows in the house. The other appointment is my meeting with Michal. I have dishes to wash, and laundry to clean. I still have to clean the hallway carpet with the carpet cleaner. Caleb is riding bikes with his friend, Chase, right now. I got my application for life insurance completed and am waiting for the underwriting to be completed.
Yesterday was a big day for us. Just as I was getting dressed, after my shower, Monarch Roofing showed up to begin replacing my roof with a new one! For FREE! It was awesome, but I had to bring the Mazda to the dealership in Wilmington. They began working while Caleb and I were away. We returned after getting a rental car from Hertz. It was a Chevy Smart, and small as can be. When we arrived home, WWAY news was here and interviewing the crew! I was interviewed too and made the local news!
Monarch Roofing provided a new 50 year warranty roof, Handyman Connection came and replaced most of the light switches for us for free, and Elite borders is coming on Wednesday to provide a garden border, new mulch, and a handicap accessible walkway that is level with the porch!
Pizza was provided by a local pizzeria for everyone here. There were soooo many people here! The front yard was full of vehicles, even stretching down the road. In the afternoon, I got the call that the Mazda was ready for pickup, and had to drive back to Wilmington. I was happy to not have to sit at the dealership all day though. On the way home, I met up with the camera crew from Monarch Roofing and completed another interview. I went home happy.
When I got home, I was happy to have the return to normalcy. The noise it takes to replace a roof is too much for me. I was exhausted.
I did not get my walk done.
Caleb was invited to go the trampoline park in Wilmington with Chase's family, so he was gone for a little while.
I went to bed without dinner. I just was not hungry. There was too much excitement going on.
I am glad Monarch Roofing had the whole crew here to complete the roof in one day. It was done before I made it back home from Wilmington the second time. It looks awesome, and now I feel safer.
The next steps are possibly to replace the windows, but definitely to remove the mold in my closet where the roof was leaking. I still want to replace the cabinets in the kitchen, and the floor in the kitchen. We are waiting on the grant process with the VA to find out if I am having a walk-in tub put in the bathroom, before replacing the floor in there.
The next steps with the Mazda are to get an oil change, replace the tires, and get an alignment.
I still have to go the DMV to replace the registration sticker on the Volvo, because they only sent me a new card, but no sticker! The whole damned thing was lost. I need a sticker too! Ugh! Once I do that, I can schedule to go to Lumberton and see my dad. I have to get a AAA membership before that too. Then I can be there with directions on where to tow my Volvo to get it repaired and brought back to standard so it can be driven safely again.
I closed on the refinance home loan on Friday, but law requires a wait period before funding the loan. I am just waiting for that before I proceed with all the things I have planned. I will be able to pay off my high-interest debts with the cash-out.
Tomorrow I have someone coming by to give me a quote on solar panels for the house. Thursday, we go to get Caleb's psychological evaluation results, and he has therapy in the afternoon. Friday, Christinia and I have an appointment with the VA Caregiver Support program.
It's a busy week for sure!
