I dunno the tag here. Life?
person, and eventually turned up an apology. That was good. And the agitated person attended the Monday meeting in fine state.They wanted to announce that the planning committee needed to do the Organizational Team's work and i pushed back saying the two people on the organizational team present could call an organizational team meeting and approve the discernment we were doing. And that's so things are open and clear. Ugh. I need to go write an email to nudge people.
UGH. Found a ton of messages in spam folder with edits for the published stuff. Wail.
For Reasons, Christine has not been away from home overnight since well before the pandemic. We had talked about her need to get away. before the pandemic, and since, and Sunday and Monday nights she's been at an inn in her childhood home of Blowing Rock, which managed to arrange a very nice snow fall for her Monday. She and i grew up in years with what i see from records as some of the most severe winters in NC. So the mild ones are doubly mild in the view of a normal set by childhood, and climate change sits heavily on her. Snow was a small gift of ease. And -- we'd talked about this ages ago -- i think snow days meant no school which mean less performing a gender that was uncomfortable. So snow days were an ease, so falling snow is a stimulus that says ease.
She left on Sunday about noon, and i got trees in the ground and Carrie walked and a casserole made.
I managed to people plenty on Monday with a sister visit at the co-op cafe and a two hour Quaker planning meeting in the afternoon. I also read a collection of short stories and a novella. It would have been nice to save them as treats, but nope. The planning meeting has been followed by getting the registration out. I would have liked to have this done by Jan 1 -- the retreat is now a month away. I eventually got out side for a little raking.
The time Christine was away flew by so fast. My vague memories of her going off places was me rattling around aimlessly, so i am happy that did not happen.
- i set reasonable expectations with myself what could be done
- i did get "conditions of enoughness done"
- When i didn't want to go for my walk today, i did the NYTimes Joy exercise program, which is basically a bunch of happy freeform movement with some vague guidelines. But i movemented. (I could say "I moved" but that wasn't as fun as "movemented." Why do i love torturing nouns by verbing them? )
