This was the best of days. All three kids and both grandkids came home to have lunch with me. Life doesn’t get better than this!

The leftovers from the Singing our Resistance event heated up nicely and made for an easy meal to fix. That was a good thing as I am still a bit weak from yesterday. I am getting stronger as the day goes on. I was able to eat a bit today which helps. I am thinking by tomorrow I will be back to normal.

I got the dishes washed and everything put away. I didn’t bother setting a table today so we ate in the living room and balanced our plates on our lap. It worked and made things easier to set up and clean up.

Tomorrow I am volunteering at the Friends of the Library book sale at 3:00. I will go to town early and get replacement parts for my sleep apnea machine and I also want to buy a sack of books before my shift starts. Last year while I was working the register one of the other volunteers picked out books for me. She made some really good choices and I discovered some new to me authors. Maybe I can make that happen again tomorrow. I can afford two bags of books at $10 a bag.

I need to call the company that manages the email situation with the Detainees tomorrow. I need to fully understand how this process works and what will be the best way for volunteers to log in and use it. I would like to find out if it is possible for Love in Action to have an account and the volunteers can use it. I don’t know if different Detainees can use the same account or if we have to have different accounts for each. I feel bad for the families of the Detainees that have to pay the prices they charge in order to stay in email contact. It is $15 for 30 emails but then there is a $6.20 service fee in addition.

Nothing on my calendar for Tuesday and Wednesday. Thursday I have to be in Topeka by 9:15 so will have an early morning.

I need to figure out how to file an extension for Love in Action’s tax return. I have never done that before but I don’t think it can be too difficult. Then again I didn’t think filing a return for Love in Action would be a challenge and it has been.

Feeling very happy and content this afternoon. I love spending time with my little family and having a meal together.

Grateful for a day with my family, grateful for safe journeys for all, and grateful I am feeling better today.
