It has been a quiet day at home. We got a dusting of snow this afternoon but not as much as expected. I hear north of us got a heavier covering.

I had a Zoom call with a lady from KC that is an Immigration Advocate. We had an interesting conversation. She wanted to hear about Love in Action and what we are doing. I think her hope is that she can get the Center to drop the ICE contract. Not sure how she is going to attempt that or if she is going to proceed. I shared with her I think the real solution needs to come from the Federal level with a change in policy that stops the rounding up of the Detainees to start with.

They do have a transportation unit and she is going to coordinate a call with them and me. I need to know how they handle the insurance and liability risks. That will be very helpful if that can happen.

Took a nap this afternoon. I slept some last night but needed a bit more sleep. For some reason my legs have been restless all day which is unusual for me. Usually they only kick in at night time.

I forgot to call the heat and air guy. I will try to remember to call them tomorrow. I really would like them to get this done so the room will be heated this winter. I want to store some food items out there and I don’t want them to freeze.

No plans for the next two days. I have to go to Topeka Thursday for an eye doctor appointment. I do need to go to the grocery store to get things to make Christmas treats. If the roads are clear tomorrow I may go in then. I haven’t been out of the house for almost a week so maybe it is time for me to venture out.

I still need to review the paperwork for the not for profit status. I hope to get that done tomorrow and send a note to the attorney handling it to proceed and file. Not sure how long this process will take but hoping to have it all done by the end of the year.

The dogs came in to warm up for a bit. We brought them in last night but they wanted back outside. I brought Ellie the cat in for a bit this afternoon but she and Louis have forgotten how to be friends. I have a feeling all three are going to get put back outside for the night.

For some reason the empty space is making me restless this evening. Maybe because I have been home for a long stretch. I don’t have much on my calendar and have too much empty space. I’m sure it will fill up and all will be well but right now it feels scary.

Grateful we didn’t get a lot of snow, grateful for the contact I made today, and grateful that this too shall pass. All is well, right here, right now, all is well.
