I went to Wichita to go to Costco this morning. I stopped at Chipotle for lunch and then headed to Costco.
I stopped at the service desk and asked them to have someone bring me four cases of bottled water. They were happy to do so. I got what I needed and then found the cart of water someone had brought up for me. I took my other stuff to the car and pulled up to the front door and they loaded the water for me. That was easy!
The drive down and back was beautiful. It did my heart good to see the wide open space and green space. Traffic was light today although Costco was crowded as usual.
Came home and carried the stuff in. I put the four cases of water on the front porch and Kathy carried them in the house. I still have three more cases to carry to the laundry room. Those things are heavy!
Haven’t done much else today. It is too hot to be outside. I don’t have much that needs done so am taking it easy this afternoon. Need to go to Emporia tomorrow to pick out flooring for Kathy’s room. I hope the installer I used for Michelle’s house is still available. I will call him tomorrow and see.
I want to go to the ICE Detention center tomorrow and find out if the clients have any needs that a group of concerned citizens could help meet. There is a group in Missouri that has formed a group that is providing things to detained non-documented clients in a detention center in Rolla. I would love to get a group here doing the same thing. Love in action feels like an appropriate response to what is happening in the world.
I also need to call and get an appointment so I can get the oil changed on my car. The car is overdue for an oil change and need to get that done this week.
I saw a quote today that said “We have our love. We have our light. And we have each other”. In the midst of all that is happening that is a good thought to hold on to. What else is there anyways?
Grateful to be restocked from Costco, grateful for the help with the cases of water at Costco today, and grateful for the beauty of the hills that restore my soul.
