Another quiet day at home. I so enjoy these days at home. I think I could become a hermit rather easily.
Someone donated $500 to Love in Action today. Made my day! I had a lot of comments on my post about my tour of the detention center and the big request for funds for exercise equipment. I wasn’t sure we would proceed with that project but thinking now we will. A couple other people made some generous donations also.
I watched the Super Bowl halftime. I am not current on pop music so not sure I got the message of the show. Kathy and I both decided we are old! Kathy has had the game on but I turned it off. I needed some quiet for a bit before I go to bed.
Tomorrow I am going to KC in the morning. I think I will go to Costco first and then meet up with Nicole. After lunch with Nicole I will go to my surgeon’s office and then come home. If I wait to go to Costco after my appointment I doubt that I could make myself go.
I need to remember to take a cooler as I want to get some chicken. It is warm enough that it won’t stay cold if I leave it in the car for a couple of hours. Hard to think I need a cooler in February but that is where we are right now.
Tuesday and Thursday I do taxes again. I will be glad to have Wednesday and Friday free this week.
I think I have decided what I want to do for the No Kings Rally March 28. I invited Elexa Dawson to come lead songs of resistance and Mindy Graham to lead a drum circle. I have run out of words to express how I feel about what is happening in the USA these days. Singing and drumming seems to be a more appropriate way to express what I am feeling. I still have lots of details to iron out but that is Plan A. A friend has offered the use of her property for it. I might reserve the community building as a back up in case of inclement weather. Lots of details to figure out but this feels like what I want to make happen.
Feeling much more rested after two days at home. It will be good to see Nicole tomorrow and check in with my surgeon. With all the chaos in the world these days I need more alone time than ever to keep myself regulated and to be able to stay above neutral when I go out into the world.
Grateful for another day at home, grateful for the idea of resistance singing and drumming for the No Kings Rally and grateful for the generous donations to Love in Action today.
