This has been another stay at home quiet day. I needed to go to Emporia to pick up the bag of groceries I left at the store yesterday but couldn’t make myself get out in the cold to get it. I will get it Tuesday when I go to town to do taxes.
Haven’t done a darn thing again today. I don’t have much to do but I know if I looked I could find something. Just no motivation to look. Things have a way of waiting for me until the time is right.
Happy birthday to Roxie. She turned 10 today. She was very independent as a puppy and that has not changed. She is the boss in the dog kennel and usually when she comes in she is in charge. She is gentle and loves to be petted and the center of attention.
Tomorrow a group of our friends are gathering at the Grand to celebrate Kathy’s birthday. I am going to bake a chocolate sheet cake in the morning to take for dessert. It only takes 30 minutes from start to finish so will have time to get that done in the morning. They are best very fresh. I won’t decorate it but it will do.
I have the water bill payment to drop off and a deposit to make at the bank while I am downtown.
Tuesday I have a busy day. I will do taxes in the morning. Then a friend asked for some help with filling out a form so I told her I would come by after taxes and help her with that. I will need to go to Walmart and pick up my forgotten groceries and then I have two other things to take care of while I am in town. I also want to go to the store where I got my CPAP machine and ask if I can exchange masks. This one leaks too much.
Wednesday I have an interview with some lady at noon. Am going to fix dinner for Kathy’s birthday that day so will do that in the afternoon.
Thursday I do taxes again. Only six more sessions for me after Thursday. We are almost a wrap on this tax season. It sure went by quickly. I finally feel like I know what I am doing most of the time. I do a much better job asking for help when I don’t. I would like to find a year long volunteer job that I could do and feel like I give back to others like I do when I do taxes.
Sitting in my warm house listening to the wind blow. It snows occasionally but doesn’t last long. I am trusting this will be our last winter blast for the season. We have a very mild winter so can’t complain too much. It is to be 87 Saturday! Yikes!
Sitting in that in-between space with most of my projects. Waiting for the nonprofit application to be approved. Waiting for my income tax refund. Waiting for month end to write the monthly report for Love in action. Waiting for an answer to a proposal I made. Waiting till the 28th for the Singing our Resistance event. Waiting till Wednesday for Kathy’s birthday. Today that space fills comfortable but with a low level of anxiety under it. I will attend to that feeling and help myself make more space for waiting.
Grateful for two stay at home days this weekend, grateful for the gathering of our friends tomorrow, and grateful for Roxie and all she has brought to me during her life.
