This has been a quiet day at home. I have felt restless a bit all day. Not sure what that is all about. It has been in my background for a bit and came on a bit stronger today. I’m sure there is something behind it but I will need to be patient to find out what it is trying to tell me.

I did make a couple needed phone calls today. We got a prescription thing straightened out for Kathy. The Clinic yesterday had written that she was to discontinue taking one of her scripts. It is one that Kathy finds helpful so we had to call her regular doctor and have the two doctor’s talk. Luckily they decided she can keep taking it.

I also called the Kansas Insurance Commission. They had told us to contact them if Kathy didn’t get the check the insurance company was to send her. We didn’t get it yet today so I called them. I didn’t hear back from them so trust they will call sooner or later.

Did a bit of cleaning today. Still have more to do. I don’t think one ever gets it all done.

I received an extra generous check for the Detention Center project today from a dear friend. Goodness, I didn’t expect that! People are being so very generous to support this project.

Tomorrow I am going to the Detention Center to take some more things up and to pick up the things they received that they can’t use. Hoping to get a better handle on how many cards and stamps they think they can use over the next couple of months. They are also to have the wish list ready for me to pick up.

I also need to go to Olpe and give cutting orders for the beef they are processing for me. Maybe I will time it so I can have lunch at the Chicken House.

Saturday a couple are coming over to share their story. I am searching for a way that the collective we can find ways to support them and the millions of others like them. Not sure I can raise enough cash to give to all the families and am hoping there is something we can find that will resonate with others and they can support it.

Saturday evening Kathy and I are going to a dear friend’s house for dinner. It will be fun to spend an evening with friends.

Next week I have to go to Topeka on Wednesday for my bi-annual check with my Endocrinologist PA. After the visit with her I have to go to the Heart Center for an ultrasound. Thursday I am meeting with a group to see if we can join forces and come up with ways to support a targeted group of people. Saturday the 2nd is another protest in Topeka.

Nicole made the flight reservations for our flight from KC to NY for our trip to India. I kinda put the trip out of my mind but November will be here before I know it. We got flight insurance in case we need to change plans last minute. The ways things are going, I’m not sure how safe it will be to leave the country. Maybe safer out of USA than in!

I haven’t had this much empty space for several months. It feels a bit foreign to me today. Still have some projects to finish up but all of them are waiting for someone else to do something before I can take my next step. Back into the in-between space. Some days I can step into that space gently and other days it feels heavy. Today was a heavy day.

Grateful for the donation that I received today, grateful I was able to make the two phone calls today, and grateful for empty space (even when it feels heavy).
