Investiture decision
Sr. N called last night. The full candidacy committee met last week and accepted the panel’s recommendation for my investiture. Their acceptance needs to be approved by the Board, but she said the board has never gone against the committee’s recommendation.
So, it appears I’m on to the next step in candidacy process.
I reached KO today while he was at Midway Airport in Chicago and set an appointment with him to talk strategy in searching for the next call/job/internship that needs to begin in September.
I’m also acutely aware that my agitation table expects I am having 8 1-on-1 conversations with people from the congregation specifically about the legislative vigil kick-off on Feb 8. I have not had one “real” 1-on-1 but have had several casual conversations. I’m feeling pressure about getting these scheduled and held when I have 20 hours with LN’s project and 25 hours of music directing that has no slack time.
And. And, and, and…
I’m taking care of myself by intentionally scheduling time for physical activities: golf, pilates, curves.
I’m taking care of myself by intentionally scheduling time for socialization.
I’m taking care of the boys by intentionally spending time with them when they are with me.
It’s all rockin’ and rollin’. It’s all moving forward. I only feel a little stressed about it all. And I only feel a little stressed about what I’m letting slip a little (mostly housework.) I only feel a little stressed about the fact that my checking account is overdrawn and will stay that way until I get a check from the contracting work.
I want to hang on to this feeling. This feeling that it’s all going to work out somehow. I want to remember it for in a few weeks, months, whenever; when it all falls apart again and I can’t see the top of the pit.

It is all going to work out. You are going to be just fine. The boys are healthy, you are healthy. That’s all that really matters in life. Everything else is like the toppings on a sundae. So, keep adding the toppings!
Have fun on your dates. Can’t wait to hear about them!

I love that feeling too when everything is working out and life is good. I started scheduling workouts daily and I have done so much better. If I go to the gym right after I drop my son off at school then I get five workouts a week under my belt. Sometimes I will do a bike ride or a jog in the evening which helps curb my late night snack cravings. Just wanted you to know your such an inspiration!
