This has been a rainy day at home. My energy matched the weather – low energy. I got absolutely nothing done today.

The Chase County Sheriff’s Office posted a nice note about the Love in Action project. I wish they had thanked all the contributors that made that happen.

Phil applied for the permit for the addition today. He is also having the lines marked. All small steps towards progress. It will feel more real when he starts to tear the old one off.

No plans for the rest of the week. One of these days I will need to go to town and buy groceries. I probably should try and find something to put on my calendar for later in the week. I’m not sure it is good for me to stay home isolated all the time.

Feeling a bit empty tonight. The quiet today still felt healing but I can feel the restlessness moving in. It is interesting to watch the ebb and flow of how I react to empty space. Some days it is healing and some days it feels draining. Guess everything in life is like that. I tend to feel all the feels. I remember a time when I was so numb I didn’t feel the highs or the lows.

Grateful for a quiet, rainy day at home, grateful for the relationship I am building at the Detention Center, and grateful for all the feels.
