Had a quiet morning at home. Phil has been working all afternoon and almost has a roof on the back room addition. Yay! I love seeing progress being made.
Nicole called and we talked about the required Visas we need for our trip to India next month. I need a hard copy and a download copy of a passport picture. I had to go to Walgreens in Emporia to take care of that.
While I was in town I stopped at Walmart and got 20 of the needed 148 gift cards for the ICE Detainees project. Since I bought 20 at one time I had to go to the service desk to purchase them. The lady questioned me as to why I was buying so many. Wonder why she did that and if it was required or if she was just making conversation. Wonder what she would have said if I attempted to purchase all 148 of them at once. It took some time to ring up 20 of them. I will continue to get 20 at a time until I get enough.
I was able to stay above neutral for the trip to town today. Came home exhausted though. Being around people these days is so draining to me.
Nicole is going to call back either tomorrow or Monday so we can complete our Visa request. We do the one for India ahead of time and the one for Nepal is done when we get to Nepal. Nicole is experienced in doing these so she will guide me through the process.
We leave for India in 30 days although it will take us a couple of days to get there. Time really gets wonky when you travel that far away and change time zones countless times.
A lady came by and looked at the exercise bike I am trying to give away. She said she wanted it and that her husband would come get it today. He hasn’t shown up yet so we shall see if he comes.
No plans for tomorrow. I may go to Pioneer Bluffs on Saturday if I can people that day. They are having a panel of Veterinarians tell stories which should be fun to listen to. Afterwards a group that I would like to hear live will be playing. We shall see if I can make myself go.
Next week I have a Cardiologist appointment on Wednesday. Other than that I have lots of empty space next week. The 18th is the Love in Action Hour of Love. I look forward to that.
I probably ought to give some thought to Thanksgiving plans. My trip will be here before I know it and I need to get things organized before I leave. I get home the Saturday before Thanksgiving so will be under the gun to get it pulled together. I don’t multi-task like I used to and everything takes longer to do in this small house. Hoping the back room will be done enough that I can set some tables back there so I have room to fit everyone. My living room is crowded right now as I have the storage racks that belong on the back porch in the living room.
May go take a short nap. Struggling to keep my eyes open. The world energy is so chaotic and fearful and when I am out and about I feel drained. I am so grateful I have lots of empty space right now so I can refill and recharge while I am home.
It really feels to me that things are coming to a head and that the next couple months are really going to be crazy until things absolutely explode. My job between now and then is to stay full of light and love and not engage with those that are stuck. I don’t have to do anything – just be – and allow my light to shine.
Grateful to be back home this evening, grateful for Nicole’s help with the Visas, and grateful for lots of empty space.
Kay, as far as having to go to customer service to purchase that many gift cards may be due to the fact that so many people get scammed.. Every time I purchase one for a large amount of money I am asked why I’m spending that much and if someone requested me to do so. It’s so sad that we live in this world! Good luck and thank you for what you are doing in the name of love!
