This as been a stay-at-home pajama day today. I have been dong laundry but haven’t gotten anything else done. The afternoon went by quickly for some reason.
We had some heavy rain this afternoon but it didn’t last long. Lots of area around got heavy hail but we didn’t get any. I am grateful for that. Hail can do even more damage than heavy wind.
I put a frozen pizza in the oven to share with Kathy for lunch. Five minutes later she comes out with a frozen pizza she was going to put into the oven to share with me. We must think alike!
We have an eager beaver pen pal recipient that I may have to remind to only send one email a week. He wants daily responses. I can understand where he is coming from but not sure we have the resources to send responses daily to all the pen pals.
The single parent that had her hearing last week is no longer at the Center. She has either gotten moved to another Center to prepare for deportation or has already been deported. I’m not sure what the procedure is and am not sure it is the same for each of them,
One of the disadvantages of the pen pal program is not knowing how long they will be there to correspond with. Not sure the detainees know the answer to that either though. We shall see where this goes and how it plays out.
Nothing on my calendar all week. Hoping I have a couple of productive days and get some things done around here. I have several small projects that need done if I can make myself get them done.
Today it feels weird to have no plans for the week. It feels a bit empty and overwhelming tonight. Tomorrow it may feel freeing. I will do my best not to allow my feeling of the moment to put limits on this empty space time. The more I can be uncomfortable with it the more comfortable with it I can become.
Grateful for a quiet day at home, grateful for the rain we got without hail and heavy wind, and grateful for empty space and all the feels.
