life is crazy

But as per usual, I feel more alive this way. Today I had lunch with a Religious Coalition for Reproductive Choice (RCRC) "hot-shot" -- is there such a thing or is that an oxymoron? -- a potential new mentor -- the joke was he had an expense account to treat me to lunch -- but it is the expense account of a non-profit organization, so we both just had soup (and the piece of baguette that came with it!).
Last night I was commissioned for my July trip to Kenya -- along with 7 of the 8 of my co-travelers -- at our Presbytery meeting. That was nice. We all brought luggage to compare notes -- no one ended swapping anything -- I think we may all try to just pay for our extra bags, so we can bring more donations -- hopefully all that we've received -- from laptops to syringes to sewing fabric to school supplies to choir robes -- you name it....
Oldest is testing at Mercer County College to get into pre-calculus class to gain college credit before senior year. Youngest is contemplating a 3-week stay at the beach with my parents -- all this while I am gone. Hubby was going to look into daycamp but never really got around to it....
I have a new therapist I like -- brilliant mind, good memory, non-judgmental -- actually helpful....
What else? Oh, my job in the chapel office. Amazing to see how people of God treat one another in the workplace....some consideration, but also some examples of real selfish, even intentionally hurtful, behavior.....
Painted part of my kitchen, humidity has been low lately, so that spices the place up a bit -- a nice new project to break the tedium of rolling choir robes and grouping syringes into baggies!
Was reading Gwen Shamblin's Weigh Down diet book -- but in the last 2 days I have rekindled my love of chocolate....otherwise I was doing well and feeling good for awhile....
Off to bed.
