I stayed home today. Slept in a little bit which was nice. Got a little paperwork done but didn’t do much else today.

I went to my local bank and deposited a check for Love In Action. While there I had them help me with the bank numbers so I can finalize the PayPal Charity Donation account. Man I have struggled with that. Hoping this will be the final thing that needs to happen so I can start using that account. The bank told me they didn’t refuse the deposits so we aren’t sure what the problem was unless I entered the banking numbers in wrong and that is possible I suppose. I was able to do it to confirm the VENMO account so not sure why PayPal Charity would have been any different. Who knows!

Kathy and I went to Emporia a little before 4:00 so we could go watch Ellexia cheer. She didn’t get to fly today but it was fun to watch her cheer. We mistakenly sat in the visitor’s section so we were in enemy territory during the game. We could have moved but I had a good view of Ellexia so we stayed put. There wasn’t a large crowd so it really didn’t make much difference. I didn’t pay too much attention to the game but the boys did win.

Ellexia and Michelle joined Kathy and I at Braum’s for dinner after the game. It was nice to get to visit with them for a bit. Ellexia had somewhere she needed to be at 7:00 so we didn’t linger after we ate.

It is to rain this evening and tomorrow. I could tell Strong City had gotten some rain already. Emporia had just gotten sprinkles so far. We could use some rain and I am grateful it is coming as rain and not snow. It is to be in the 70’s again next week.

Nothing on my calendar for the next three days. I really need to get some cleaning done. I’ll have to figure out a way to do it without doing much bending or pushing of things. When there is a will, there is a way, right?

Next week I have taxes on Tuesday and Thursday. Thursday I also have a doctor’s appointment and then I am spending the night at the sleep clinic at the hospital. Not sure what that will be like and if I will spend the whole night at the hospital. Guess I will find out when I find out that evening.

I am part of a group on Signal. There was ICE activity in Olathe today so that group was very active. Not sure I am going to stay in the group as most of what they talk about doesn’t pertain to me. I don’t like drama and chaos and that is what it felt like today. Or maybe panic would be a more apt description. I am trusting that they will settle down and the chatter will be more helpful and informative as they get used to this.

The world energy sure has been chaotic lately. Things are happening so fast that one can’t keep up with everything. I still have a feeling that the next couple of months are going to be unusually explosive and things are coming to a head in many ways. It is so important to remain steady and find ways to experience moments of calm. One can easily get pulled into the anger and chaos right now. Steady, calm and grounding energy are so very needed right now.

Grateful to see Ellexia cheer tonight, grateful to see Michelle tonight, and grateful I may be one step closer to having a Charity PayPal donation account.
