Happy birthday daddy. 100 years old today! You never felt old to me. Somehow you were able to maintain that childlike innocence all through your life. You found the little things that most people missed in nature. Your love lives on through your family and friends.

I found a picture of daddy riding a riding mower and pulling a wagon full of granddaughters. That was so daddy! He created a lot of memories for my kids and his other grandchildren. He would get on the floor and play with them and let other things wait to be done until later.

It has been a quiet day at home. I did go out to lunch but other than that have stayed home and relaxed. I am working on some laundry but not much else.

I went back to PayPal to attempt to add a charity donation button. Ran into roadblocks again. I wonder why this is not easy for me? Guess I will stick with VENMO and call it good. I don’t anticipate many donations over $250 anyways and if I get one I will track down the donor and get their address.

I will need to track donors that give on a regular basis and see how their donations add up. Once they get to $250 I have to send them an official notification of their donation so they can deduct it if they choose to on their tax return.

I did some reading about requirements of running a 501(c)3 non profit. One of the main ones is no political campaigning or participation. I have attempted to set up Love in Action as non political from the beginning. I will have to remember to not make any political comments when others comment.

I attempted to have the tax return I filed refiled. It was rejected yet again. I looked up the list of non profits and Love in Action is still not listed. Maybe it takes the IRS a bit to update their list and files. Once it is listed on their site, I will attempt one last time to file the return.

I read today that if you miss filing for three years in a row IRS can revoke your status. Maybe I don’t have to file for last year.

Tomorrow I need to call the sleep apnea place and have them send my reports to Dr. LaSota before my appointment on Thursday. This visit is required by Medicare so they will pay for the sleep apnea equipment. I also need to call and get a haircut scheduled. Ellie needs her annual shots so I need to call and schedule that. It is time to get the dogs their annual dog tags from the city too. Maybe I can get all that done tomorrow.

Feeling a bit isolated and lost today. The quiet time I have had was deeply needed but it feels like I dropped out of society somehow. If the meeting I went to yesterday is any indication, it is going to be hard for me to rejoin society. Somehow I am more keenly aware of the vibration differences and being around low vibrations is hard.

Grateful for my daddy and all the love he shared with my kids, grateful to get to learn about running a 501(c)3, and grateful for to-do lists so I don’t forget to do something important.
