Another quiet day at home. Didn’t do much at all again today. My soul needed these two rest days. I still have my pajamas on as I saw no need to get dressed today as I had no plans to go anywhere or have anyone over.
No big plans for tomorrow either. Monday I have to go to KC for most of the day and then I have taxes on Tuesday and Thursday.
Received another Love in Action donation check today. We are getting close to reaching our $5,000 goal. Someone bought a bunch of things off the Gift Registry. I sent a note to the Detention Center and asked for some more things to put on the list as it is almost empty.
Found out that the Kansas Democrats had a big convention of some sort today. A lady had contacted me and asked if she could put up a donation jar. Found out that the Chair of the Democratic Party mentioned Love in Action in her speech today and encouraged those present to donate. It will be fun to find out how much they raise. I appreciate the interest and help.
We had a big thunderstorm rolled through last night. Not sure how much rain we got but I had a big puddle in my front yard that usually appears if we get at least an inch of rain. It rained hard and the wind blew hard for a bit.
Kathy reported she has some daffodils blooming and some tulips that are getting close. We bought a whole bunch of bulbs last fall at Costco and Kathy planted them all over the yard. It will be fun to see what comes up. We both love spring flowers.
I finally heard from the guy that I have been working with to provide meat and a side dish for the rally on the 28th. I still didn’t get what I asked from him but will attempt to make this work. He needs some lessons on communication.
Next week I need to find an accountant to do the year end taxes for Love in Action. I am meeting Monday with a lady that has years of experience with nonprofits and am hoping she can help me understand the tax implications and requirements. I’m not sure why IRS said I need to file the form they are requiring.
I also have to find someone to help me finish up the PayPal Charity account. I wish I was better at technology and could figure some of these things out myself.
Feeling a bit isolated again. Things have been busy and I haven’t taken time to connect with my friends. On the 16th I will get to see many of them as we gather to celebrate Kathy’s birthday. I have a few others I need to reach out and schedule lunch with. It does my soul good to have some deep conversations and I haven’t had one lately.
Grateful for two quiet days at home, grateful donations continue to come in, and grateful for blooming spring flowers.
