out of control
I’m starting to feel like I’m getting some traction and some stamina.
The first couple of weeks of choir are always like your gears are slipping. But it feals like the gears have caught now.
Of course with EVERYTHING that is going on, it also feels like if the gears actually grip and I actually gain traction on everything that I’m supposed to be doing, I’ll start spinning so fast I’ll spin apart.
In other words, there’s just too damn much on my plate. And I don’t have any easy way of getting anything off my plate soon. I have to be brutal about saying “no” to new things. No matter how hard people lean on me, how important I think it is, or how much I’d like to do it.
Even if I’m able to do that, this is going to be a dangerously stressful couple of months.
For instance, tomorrow’s schedule is this:
7:30 leave the house and drive the long way to the hospital to scout a place for the pre-meeting later today. Call SE with location
8:30-12:30 (FOUR HOURS!!!!) group meeting wherein I present a verbatim report
12:45 shuttle to U side
1-2 clinical group meeting wherein they talk talk talk talk talk talk about more stuff that we have no way of cementing into our brains because we have no context of experience.
2-3 lost time to end of meeting and travel to pre-meeting site, which isn’t that far, but I’ll probably have to walk
3-3:30 pre-meeting
3:30-4 meeting with gubenetorial campaign re: attending ISAIAH large group meetings
4-4:30 getting back to hospital
4:30-6:00 unit visits
6-7:30 ISAIAH meeting (luckily, at a church right next door to the hospital. How lucky for me huh? no way to get out of it.)
8:00 shuttle back to “other” side
8:30 travel back to home
9:00 start cooking supper for myself and YM…except that I didn’t get to the grocery store this morning
This isn’t going to work. I have to beg off the ISAIAH meeting, stay on the unit until 6:30 and go home at that point. (still won’t be home until 7:30, but that’s a far site better than 9:00)
OK. Now I’m going to finish that verbatim and go to bed. Hopefully, before I have to shower and leave for adventures of the day.
