Finishing up my renewal has taken longer than I’d care to admit. I started writing it out at the beginning of the month, and then sat on it for two weeks because I just couldn’t be arsed to request two long standing family friends to sign off on it for me. But now that I have a mere six weeks until my current documentation runs out, I jumped on it on Sunday morning, and got one sign off last night, and a second done early this morning. Took a break to walk the dog, and then triple checked that I had signed, added payment details, and had my photos and supplementary documentation in order and priority mailed it off at the post office. Now I wait, and hope it goes through without any missed portions on the forms, and then I’ll not have to worry about it again until ten years from now. I’ve known it was expiring for a very long time, and should have done this back in March when it was top of mind. But I had other pressing matters to attend to, so I let it slide. And here we are.
With all expectations that I should get it back in three weeks or so if all goes well. Everybody else is good through 2027/2028. Which means we will need to sort the kids out in another years time. I don’t know why but filling out forms makes me nervous that I have misread something, or failed to sign the document in an obscure place.
Hey it’s Tuesday! And a sunny lovely day at that. We will all go climbing tonight at The Hub, so that should be a lot of fun. I’m all paid up until early November so that’s cool too. Tomorrow after school drop off the dog & I will stick around at the farm to do some more wood splitting. See if I can’t do a couple of days in a row to get through the first of multiple piles. The stack near the front of the barn looks like smaller, and drier rounds. I hope they split easily enough. Maybe after a few sessions I’ll be able to go for more than 45-60 minutes at a time. Not that I need to be spending six hours doing it, as this is for exercise, and to stop me spending money needlessly, not because I’m getting paid, nor am I expecting to get paid for it either.
See if I can’t shed some extra pounds by swinging a splitting maul, and climbing with the girls each week. If I stop snacking, and eat better that might go a longer way towards not being so round through the middle. Ha.
Side note: dog got skunked right in the mouth yesterday evening while I was taking my eldest to taekwondo. So that wasn’t cool. Luckily we had all the skunk out shampoos, conditioners, hard surface sprays and such to wash the worst of it away. Not a fun way to spend an evening, I’m sure.
