I do not feel as though I am spiraling downwards any longer. It is a subtle difference but I feel it. I was mostly able to concentrate on what I needed to do today. I managed to put in over 10 hours of volunteer work. It was easier to do that during the week than add more days to the week. I do have a file I need to get done before Friday for sure but for the moment I need to get the my new Treasurer responsibilities caught up so that it is not hanging over me and we have the reports necessary for our founders and grant applications. I stayed right through at work until after 9 in order to attend the Board meeting comfortably as I still don’t have my laptop back from Brett. He took it on Thursday to replace the hard drive which he convinced me would make a big difference. When I reached out to find out why I don’t have it back yet he said it wouldn’t boot up due to a Bios issue and he was waiting to hear back from ASUS. This stresses me out. I am practicing patience. Keri found me a camera and I hooked it up to my work computer. I then did a test run with Sean on Google meet to make sure it worked. Maureen had come by with Treasurer and board stuff and left me my cards. It is funny as I can’t imagine handing out a card as Treasurer but maybe yes as Tech Director. We had our Board meeting and actually had a lot of positive in spite of having to cancel or postpone a lot of plans. Ideas for Christmas and paying it forward abound.
One of the other joys of my day was enjoying one of the apples Rae-Anne gave me. It is dark and crispy, looks luscious like a cherry and was so delicious. I must find out the type so I can find more.
I do so enjoy how early everyone seems to be turning on the lights this year. I only hope they keep them on through January as well.
