It has been a quiet day at home. It is much too hot to go outside for long. I did go to the Dollar General Store to get some copies of the Chase County Leader News. Came right back home and stayed in for the rest of the day.
I posted an update on Facebook about the Love in Action Project. I have spent some time this afternoon answering the questions and comments.
I got into a bit of trouble with the admins of the Be The Bear site as they don’t allow people to share from their site. Their rules specifically say we are not to copy and paste and many were doing that. I referred people to my personal page to get the same post so they could share but that was a bit cumbersome. I decided to create a Love in Action page where I will put the same posts. People are joining my personal page and I’m not sure I want to manage that.
Hoping tomorrow I can figure out why the Director of the Detention Center’s emails aren’t getting to me with his wish list. Not sure what is blocking them. They are not in my spam and he says he sent them. I did send him an email so he could have my correct address. People are anxious to get the wish list.
One of the workers that is coordinating the letters for the detainees is to create a wish list too. I will go up tomorrow to talk to them and see if I can get those.
I need to go to the post office and buy another 200 hundred stamps. I also need to get 100 stamps for my personal use. I will mail the papers to Max’s bank so I can hopefully be able to close out his account. I also need the post office to process the paperwork so his mail can be forwarded to me.
We found another life insurance policy Kathy has so I need to make a call Monday and try to find out what this one is and get it stopped. Hoping they will give her a refund for this one too. It is the same company that sold her the junk policy. She doesn’t have the policy paperwork for this one nor did she know she had it.
I have been a bit evasive about Kathy to protect her privacy. She has decided to be completely transparent and has put a post on her Facebook page about being diagnosed with Alzheimer’s. She has given me permission to talk about it openly. I admire her courage in facing this so directly. How she progresses is her story but how it impacts me is my story.
Trusting the plumber shows up the first part of the week to fix the dripping faucet at the house I have for sale in Emporia. I am not holding my breath though as they said it would be fixed two weeks ago.
I also need to get Tagen’s truck paperwork taken care of this week. His tag expires the end of the month and so he can’t drive it after that until he gets insurance and new tags.
Maybe I can finish up some pending projects this week. They seem to stack up and I get to a point where I can’t do anything until someone else does something. For some reason it seems like they all break free around the same time and then what I need to do piles up.
This has been another bit of restless day for me. I keep going back to my own mantras to remind myself that nothing in life is certain. One does the best they can until they know better and than one does better. Patience is not one of my virtues and I am reminded daily of that. I am doing better at pausing before I take action and waiting until it feels like I have a green light from the Universe to proceed. Then I also have to contend with the Universe’s timeline that doesn’t always meet my preferred time line. Sitting and waiting. Sitting and waiting. Creating a restlessness that I feel strongly. Some days it is easier to sit with it all than others.
Grateful for the interest and support of the Detainee project, grateful things eventually get resolved, and grateful for a fresh start tomorrow.
