I went to the Detention Center at 11:00 this morning and had a long conversation with the Captain. We talked about a range of items and I got a better understanding of how the Detention Center works and how the Captain manages it. I will write more later about it. I need to sit with some of it and decide what to do with the new information.
After my conversation with the Captain, the Sergeant that runs the card and stamp program for Love In Action took me on a tour of the facility. It was interesting to see the behind the scenes view of the Detention Center. I didn’t go in any of the pods where the detainees spend their time but I was able to look in the windows to see them. I did meet two of the women that were in the laundry room working.
Kathy and I hosted a happy hour this afternoon. Three of our friends came over and we enjoyed visiting with them.
After they left I laid down for a short bit. I never felt like I woke up this morning and needed a short nap to get me through the rest of the day.
My accountant sent an email with a question on my return. That is a good sign as it means she has started looking at them at least. Maybe she will get to them this year before she starts all the corporate returns she has to do which have an earlier due date than personal returns do.
No plans this weekend. It will be good to have two stay-at-home days. Feels like a long time since I have had that option. This has felt like a busy, long week. Hard to think I spent two weeks straight at home prior to this week.
I am looking forward to going to KC Monday. The best part is I will get to have lunch with Nicole before my surgeon’s appointment at 1:00. I hope to make a Costco stop since I will be close to one. Tuesday and Thursday I do taxes again. Friday afternoon I am going to a basketball game to watch Ellexia cheer.
Still thinking about the next No Kings rally scheduled for March 28. I want to do an event of some sort but still not sure what. I am tossing around a couple of ideas. Another time when I have to sit with not knowing for a bit until the right idea comes to me.
Seems I am sitting with several situations that have hit a speed bump. Not my favorite place to be but one I am getting more comfortable with. Maybe that is why they are there for me. There truly is very little in this life that you can sit on solid ground. Most everything changes and the more comfortable one can be with change the easier life becomes.
Grateful for the time with the Captain today, grateful for the tour of the Detention Center, and grateful I can sit with the in-between.
