She's Geeky was great: i had both a good tech session and a good "support" session each day. I've set a goal for next year's session.
Yesterday i did some introversion to help recover. I did go to meeting and recalled at the last minute we had "intergenerational" worship. Our clerk showed a slide show of images of God. It was not the slide show i would have shown because he focussed on the Zeus-like man with a beard. We then spoke out of the silence about our images. I spoke about how the quality of eternal, out-of-time, was an important quality in my experience of the Divine.
The rest of the day Christine and i sat on the recliner and poked away at projects.
I haven't really followed up on my experience of dissociation: walking to the conference the next morning really helped with the reintegration. I recall the awful summer and fall of 2010, when i was just sure that i had made a horrible work mistake and i had encountered the full effect of the VP. Christine was adopting a walking practice, so i would walk with her, ranting and waving my arms, and at the end i would be more calm and less stressed. I have grown to appreciate walking's useful effect on my mental health, and was delighted to watch it work so well in the context of another stress.
Christine and i are talking about how we will set boundaries with our neighbor, as her need could just pull us in so deeply. How to balance spending time with her versus spending time with other friends?
Today and tomorrow are release planning days. We've tried to shrink it down, so there's some anxiety as to whether it will all fit. On the other hand, we're also trying to do it smarter: we've significantly over-planned the previous sessions. I'm hoping we can just plan what we can complete in the time, and not plan twice as much, as we have in the past.
