I didn’t have a good night’s sleep last night. I finally took off the mask and was able to sleep a bit after that. I am thinking I need to try a different mask. I will keep at it and see if I can adjust. I wore it six hours so not a complete failure.
I have been craving Commercial Street Diner breakfast so went in this morning to eat. It was as good as always. I enjoy watching the staff work as they demonstrate such great teamwork. I don’t see that very often these days.
Stopped at Walmart and bought some groceries. I want to make a couple things for dinner this week and needed some ingredients. Got what I needed and came home only to discover I left a sack of some of the things I paid for at Walmart. I called and they have it waiting for me to pick up. Now I get to go back to town tomorrow to pick it up. Dang it anyways.
Kathy worked out in the yard most of the day. She loves creating new things in the yard. The spring flowers she planted last fall are doing great and are beautiful. The tulips should be blooming soon.
I managed to walk around my block this afternoon. I went out to see what Kathy had done and look at the flowers and kept on walking. I have got to do this daily. I so enjoy a walk but forget to take one.
My tax refund finally got approved and I should have it next week. However, it looks like they subtracted one of my estimated payments from it. I checked my bank statements and they got all four of them. I will have to figure out what to do about that when I get the return and find out for sure that is what happened. Way too much money to not chase down. I had sent an additional estimate after I sold the last rental house. I wonder if they saw that one and forgot to look for the January one that also got sent?
I hope the weather on the 28th is like today’s weather. It would be a perfect day for a picnic in the yard and singing together around a camp fire. Fingers and toes crossed we will get lucky and have another Saturday as good as this one was.
We may get snow Sunday night but it is to warm up by Tuesday and be close to 90 by the end of the week. Kansas weather is bi-polar and doesn’t know what it wants to be when it grows up.
Did some work on the Love in Action books for last year. I have lots less tax letters that will need to be sent out than I feared. I will have more this year. If the 501(c)3 is approved, I will have to send a year-end letter to everyone that donates $250 or more in one year. I only had three people do that last year. That makes me feel a bit better as the letters are going out late this year as I don’t have the information I need to send them yet. Still waiting on approval before I can send them out.
I am keeping my records differently this year in anticipation of needing to know this information and year end. I trust I can keep things straight and not mislead anyone or do something out of scope for the nonprofit.
Other than the trip to Emporia to pick up my missing groceries, I don’t have anything on my calendar for tomorrow. Monday is Kathy’s birthday lunch. Tuesday and Thursday I do taxes and Wednesday is my interview with some lady doing a project of some sorts. Wednesday is Kathy’s actual birthday so am planning on making dinner that night so we can celebrate.
Feeling a bit restless today. Not sure why other than I didn’t sleep well last night. I had trouble falling asleep and then would wake up shortly after falling asleep. I have a headache this afternoon and am just this side of cranky. I am hoping a good night’s sleep tonight will cure whatever this is I am experiencing.
I read a piece on Facebook today that ended with “What comes next will not be built by institutions. It will be built by regulated nervous systems. Clear minds. Rooted hearts. Sovereign spirits. If you are doing that work in yourself – You are doing it for the whole.” I so agree with this! We are splitting into two realities. This article calls one Spectacle Consciousness and the other Embodied Sovereignty. I hadn’t heard them called that before but it seems to fit. One is living in reaction and fear and the other lives from discernment and inner authority. It was a good read and felt like my truth.
Grateful for Commercial Street Diner and their delicious food and outstanding service, grateful for the work Kathy does in the yard, and grateful for the inner work I continue to do on myself.
