This has been one of those hard days where most everything I did or touched didn’t go easy. Even things that should have been easy were not.
I attempted to bag up the Go Bag clothes and put them in a two gallon zip lock bag. I struggled to get the stuff in the bag and not one of the bags sealed easily. I got an off brand and man did I regret that. They really were hard to close. I got frustrated and had to stop for a bit and try again. I stuck with it but man it was hard.
I had to find a place to put the tote that I am storing the extra supplies in. I knocked over a stack of paper plates and cups while making room for the tote. One of those days!
I was working on writing the first draft of the month end report for Love in Action. I wrote a couple paragraphs and hit the return button and instead, all that I wrote disappeared. Things like that kept happening! One of those days!
I finally put myself in time-out and took a nap. Things have been a bit easier since I got up but I haven’t attempted to do much. Kinda waiting for this writing to disappear.
Got an email from the Captain of the Center. The person that is taking his place is on vacation and he wants her involved in the decision of what, if anything, they will allow me to do about making Go Bags for those that are being Deported. It is complicated and I don’t want to create problems on their side. However, it hurts my heart to think of the Detainees that are being deported and have no belongings to their name. We shall see what happens.
I decided to do donuts without chocolate milk for our September event. I am waiting to find out what time they want them there and then I will confirm the order with Dunkin’. For October we will do candy for Halloween. One of the Detainees wants some Mexican candy so I will do a combination for Mexican candy and chocolate candy. Wish I could put them in cute bags but I’m sure that wouldn’t be allowed. Need to decide what to do for Thanksgiving. I am going to check with some Mexican restaurants that cater and see how much a meal will be for 200 people. Probably more than I have funds for but maybe one of them will cut me a price break.
No plans for tomorrow. Hopefully it will be an easier day and I can get a few things done. I was afraid to dust today as the way my day was going I would have dropped and broken something. I’m sure tomorrow will be better. I have days like this occasionally, maybe to help remind me to be more grateful for the easy ones.
Mama told me there would be days like this! Man, it has been a hard one but luckily just little things were hard. I had no patience today and made it worse. I’m grateful I haven’t had a day like this for a while. I am also grateful I put myself in time-out to give myself a break from the hard.
Grateful this day is one of the rare ones, grateful the Go Bag stuff is bagged and stored, and grateful this day is almost over.
