I was in Emporia by 10:45 this morning. I stopped at Walmart and picked up the prescription that was ready and then I headed to Radius where I met a dear friend for lunch.
It is such a delight for me to be able to have a deep conversation with someone I trust and admire. We visited for over an hour.
I came home and haven’t done much else today. I did go to a joint meeting between Cottonwood Falls and Strong City. They are working on coordinating their animal control ordinances. The audience was given a chance to speak. I didn’t hear them address my concern which is people that own dogs that don’t follow the leash law. They do have an ordinance that addresses animals at large but I am not sure it is enforced consistently. When I have called in an animal at large I haven’t gotten very far with anyone doing anything about it.
Tomorrow I have to be in Emporia by 10:15 to do the second part of the morning tax returns. I think we only have three to do so should be able to get out fairly close to noon. Haven’t heard it I will be needed on Wednesday yet.
I need to stop at a grocery store and get something so I have what I need to fix lunch for family day Sunday. Still need to decide what to fix for dessert so may need a couple more things too.
If I don’t do taxes on Wednesday, I don’t have anything else on my calendar for the rest of the week. I am looking forward to some empty space days.
Don’t have much on my to-do list right now. I have somethings I could do if the mood hits but it doesn’t seem to hit often. Dust and dirt seems to sit and wait for me.
Eagerly awaiting notes from the Detainees. Not sure they will be coming as they may have chosen not to write. Time will tell.
Sitting here tonight feeling the empty space ahead. Tonight it feels a bit lonely. Funny how some days it feels freeing and other days it feels hard. It really isn’t either of those – it just is.
Grateful for lunch with a dear friend, grateful for city and county commissioners that are willing to work to improve our city and county, and grateful for empty space.
