This has been a most needed quiet day at home. Haven’t done anything! My soul needed to reset and get quiet again.
Had another successful night with my new CPAP machine. I did wake up around 1:00 and was up for about an hour trying to get it to stop leaking. When I get into a deep sleep I must relax the muscles in my face and it shifts the mask. I almost took it off as I couldn’t get it to stop leaking. I finally put the pillow under my chin and that worked. Kathy went to town today and she got me one of those pillows you use on an airplane that go around your neck. I will try that tonight and see if that fixes the problem.
I do feel much more rested when I get up using the CPAP. If I can fix the leak during the middle of the night I will be golden!
A friend came over to get my massage table. I gave it to her with the understanding if I ever need to borrow it back for a day or so she will loan it back to me. I have only used it once the last several years. Good to have another big item removed from the shed. As a bonus, she brought a donation for Love in Action.
Not much to do this weekend. There is always cleaning if the mood strikes. I am working on laundry but keep forgetting about it so that is taking all day. I will change the sheets on my bed tomorrow if I can remember to do so. Have an update to write for Love in Action reminding people to come to the potluck and singing our resistance event March 28. If I am in the right mood, that won’t take long to do. Wasn’t there today so maybe I can get that taken care of this evening or tomorrow.
Got a PM from a guy from Florida today. Somehow he had come across the article I wrote about transporting a Detainee. He had just been released from jail in FL and needed to get home to Ohio. He was looking for help. I told him I only work with Chase County Detention Center and wished him luck. It makes me realize how many people are out there that get released everyday and have no way to get home. We have got to do better as a society!
I saw where Marshall was in Cottonwood Falls today. Sure wished I had known about his visit so i could have gone up and met with him. He seems to be traveling in secret these days and doesn’t let the public know where he plans to go. Wonder why that is?
Monday a group of friends are gathering so we can celebrate Kathy’s birthday. It is to snow Sunday night. Last year we had to postpone her birthday celebration because of a snow storm. Hoping we can keep our plans on Monday but we shall see. I am busy the rest of the week so not sure when we might reschedule it if we need to. At least this time we are meeting in Cottonwood Falls so won’t have to go to Emporia.
I do taxes Tuesday and Thursday. Wednesday I have a Zoom interview with a lady that is complying interviews from people all over that are doing things that explore the borders of belonging, targeting those that are working the immigrant population. Not sure where it will go but it will be interesting to talk to her. A friend told her about me and she reached out to schedule this interview.
Feeling grounded and centered today. Rest days help me get there and then be able to stay there longer when I do get out and about. I don’t have a lot of things that need my attention right now as most things are pending and waiting for someone else to take the next move. I am doing much better dealing with the in-between time and allowing things to unfold in the universe time and not my time schedule.
Grateful to have found a useful home for the massage table, grateful the CPAP usage is progressing and I figured out how to fit the middle of the night leaks, and grateful for a restful day at home.
