Michelle came over around noon and I did her taxes. Afterwards Kathy joined Michelle and I for lunch at Jacalito. Always a good day when I get to see one of my kids.
This afternoon a local that had spent the weekend at the Detention Center due to a probation violation brought me another letter written by a Detainee. It warms my heart to think the Detainee took the time to write. He had a couple of requests that I am going to sit with and see if I can figure out a way to help. I have to tread carefully so I don’t endanger the Love in Action project.
Then while the guy was still here, Christy Davis brought by a collection container that a member of Love in Action had spearheaded. She had reached out to me last week to ask permission to set up a collection box at the Kansas Democratic Convention that was held this weekend in Topeka. Christy brought the collection by. It held 100 stamps and several hundred dollars in cash. Oh my! What a success that was.
I didn’t do much else today. I slept in this morning so the morning went by quickly. I had trouble falling asleep last night so the extra sleep late morning was good.
Tomorrow I will head to KC around 11:00. I am meeting someone at 1:00 and then I have a doctor’s appointment at 3:30. After that I am meeting up with Nicole and Geoff for dinner. Hoping I have time to stop at Costco but if I don’t I will go another day. It will be a long day in KC. It will be good to get off all restrictions from the surgery.
Tuesday and Thursday I am doing taxes. Have a feeling Tuesday will be a long shift as I think we are going to be short a person or two. I hate when people have to wait a long time but usually they don’t get too upset. We will do the best we can to get through everyone on the schedule in a timely manner.
Wednesday I am meeting a friend for lunch. My next rest days should be Friday and the weekend. The following week I have something everyday. Yikes! Hope I can hold it together without some rest days.
Looking forward to getting some answers to some questions I have about the paperwork requirements for the nonprofit. I am honored that the lady that reached out to me is willing to give me an hour of her time. I am sure her schedule is full and I appreciate her time.
It is amazing to me to watch the path Love in Action takes. I have no goals for it as it seems to do its own thing. I fasten my seat belt and go along for the ride. I am attempting to lead by intuition and not guide it by my brain.
Grateful for the fundraising efforts this weekend, grateful for another letter from a Detainee, and grateful I get released tomorrow.
