This has been another quiet day mostly at home. I did go to the Grand for lunch today. My favorite waitress was there so it was nice.
I did some clean up of my files today. I have a pile of papers I need to take out to the shed to store. Got everything else filed where it should be. I really dislike not being able to find a piece of paper I need.
Got another note from a Detainee looking for a Pen PAL. Not sure if the next one in line wants this one or not. I haven’t heard back from her. This is one that is there not for immigration issues. Some of the volunteers only want immigrants.
Got another volunteer through the process to be a pen pal. Now I just need to pen pal to give her. I never know how many will request to be in the program and how long someone that does request a pen pal will remain at the facility. Three of them that wanted in the program are already moved out of this facility.
It is time to work on the end of the month report for Love in Action. We are in a good position with funds for the moment. Still haven’t paid for the exercise equipment. I haven’t heard an update on the expected arrival date. We don’t have to actively fundraise right now.
The river is up and running fast. Haven’t heard when it is to crest. North of us got up to five inches of rain yesterday. We were on the tail end of the storms both time they passed this way.
My new debit card came in today so I worked on updating my accounts with the new card information. I’m sure I forgot some accounts to change. Some of the accounts the funds come directly out of the checking account and not through the debit card. I have a couple more I need to check on. One doesn’t realize how many auto pay accounts they have until something like this happens.
Felt a bit restless today. I did manage to get up and work on some little projects I needed to get done. That helped a bit. I function better when I feel I have been productive and that wasn’t what I have been the last couple of days. Some old habits are harder than others for me to step away from.
This empty space feels more like in-between time and I am not sure what I am in-between. Maybe it is the world shift that is happening that I am tuning into. I have learned how to sit in this space and feel the uncomfortable feelings and hold them while what ever is coming happens. This feels like it is going to be a long haul and I will get lots of practice holding space without knowing what I am holding space for.
Grateful for lunch out today, grateful the filing is caught up, and grateful we missed the heavy rain that fell around us.
