I was in Emporia a little after 9:00 this morning. I was told I didn’t have to be there until closer to 10:15 but I knew they had three clients and only two preparers and didn’t want what happened last week to happen again.
Around 10:00 I ran to the grocery store to get something I need to fix our family day lunch this Sunday. Came back and we got busy again. We were out of there at noon. I had to wait for a spouse to come sign the return before I could leave.
I took the list of clients that are ready to be e-filed to our leader and then went out to lunch. Saw some of my friends at the restaurant I ate at so had a short visit with them. Ate and then came home. I haven’t done much this afternoon. I’m working on getting some laundry done. No plans for tomorrow so will finish it up then if needed.
We don’t have anyone on the schedule for tomorrow for taxes. Only have one on the schedule for Thursday and I am going to go in and help do that one. Then tax season will be over for this year.
I have a headache this afternoon. The smell of pasture fire smoke is heavy in the air today. I had anticipated they would burn early this year but it seems like most of the burning is happening this week. Usually they are done by April 15 so only have about a week to go of burning season. We are to get some rain later this week so maybe that will lay the smoke down a bit.
Am working on getting caught up on the thank you notes for Love in Action. I have three more to go and I will have that little project done. I had gotten behind and needed to get caught up. Hopefully with fundraising suspended for a while, I won’t have so many to write the rest of the month.
I had to stop reading Facebook and watching the news today. So much fear about what Trump said. I read a quote that I posted that says: “One of the most calming and powerful actions you can do to intervene in a stormy world is to stand up and show your soul. Struggling souls catch light from other souls who are fully lit and willing to show it.” This was written by Clarissa Pinkola Estes. I have spent time grounding today and doing some Tonglen to exchange the fear energy with love energy. I have no control over anything else.
Grateful tax season is all but a wrap for the year, grateful to run into friends while eating out, and grateful I get a free day tomorrow.
