I was grateful when I woke us this morning and looked outside and didn’t see snow. It was a windy drive to town. Sounds like the worst of the storm was north of us. We got mainly wind.
I went to Emporia this morning to do taxes. There were only two of us and only four clients scheduled. However an additional three clients showed up. Luckily one of the other tax preparers was at the Senior Center and volunteered to help us out. We were done by noon.
I stopped for lunch and then came home. I still need some groceries but not something I needed today so decided to wait till tomorrow. Hopefully tomorrow the wind so won’t be so high and it will be easier to get the groceries into my car.
I took a long nap in my chair this afternoon. I had trouble falling asleep last night and had to get up at 7:30 so I could go to Emporia. I finally felt rested when I woke up from my nap. Hope I can sleep tonight.
Tomorrow I have taxes again. I will have to stop and get groceries afterwards as I don’t want to go to Emporia again this week. I also need to stop and get dog food as I am down to my last bag.
Friday I am going to a birthday brunch. Saturday I have a memorial service I want to go to. Sunday is free and clear though.
Next week looks fairly clear. I am only doing taxes once next week unless something comes up. Nothing else on the calendar. I will welcome a slow week. Hopefully the weather will be nice and I can get outside for a bit.
The world still feels a bit small to me. I seemed to have isolated myself in a cocoon of sorts. It is hard to reach outside my cocoon right now. There is so much chaos happening in the larger world that it doesn’t feel safe to engage with it. I trust that if I have a role to play in calming things even in a small way, I will be able to break out of my cocoon and be in service to others.
Grateful the roads were clear this morning, grateful for the chance to be in service doing taxes, and grateful for the privilege of cocooning myself.
