Cold, rainy rest day. Haven’t done much at all today. Spent some time responding to posts on Facebook. The page I posted about transporting the Detainee has been read by over 46.1 thousand people. Wow! Grateful people are interested and are sharing the post. I think it is important that others know not all ICE Detainees that get picked up are criminals.
I didn’t make it to Emporia today. I thought about it a couple of times but couldn’t make myself go out in the cold and rain to go. I will have to go tomorrow as that is that last day the pharmacy will hold one of my prescriptions that I need to pick up. I need a few groceries and a new space heater so will do my best to make myself go to town.
Tuesday and Thursday I do taxes. Should have a couple more rest days this week. I still need to find an accountant to do the taxes for Love in Action. I may need to call my accountant if one of the other two that I have called don’t call me back.
One day next week I need to find someone to prepare the food I need for the potluck on the 28th. I know what type of food I want, just need to find someone to do it. I would like to find a blue supplier but don’t know if that is possible. The person I have used before is not blue!
The good news of the transport story is the number of people that have joined the Facebook page of Love in Action has doubled. We have raised over $1,500 since the story was posted. If we can double that amount we will reach our goal to purchase the piece of exercise equipment the Center has requested.
I still haven’t heard the results of my sleep study. If I don’t hear by Thursday I will have to call the sleep doctor and find out what is going on. It never impresses me when they take so long to send out results.
Hoping I hear about my referral to a doctor to look into the stone I have in a pancreas duct. My doctor said it could take up to a week or longer until I hear back. Wonder how far in the future that appointment will be? Doctors sure seem to enjoy good job security these days with appointments months away.
Still processing some emotion from Friday. It was such an honor to transport him but I have had to allow some anger feelings to be heard and be released. I work hard at staying present to what is and not allowing myself to play the game of what if. The Detainee showed me staying present in gratitude brings much more peace.
Grateful for a rest day, grateful for the wonderful response to the post, and grateful I have an easy week ahead.
