August, September, and most of October -- definitely the longest I've gone without posting here, since starting this gig almost 20 years ago. Some recappy notes:
- Sent Alex back to UGA for his junior year, but have enjoyed a few visits with him coming home since then
- Did tons and tons of work-work
- Prayed a LOT about my job
- Submitted resumes/applications to at least 7 jobs
- Appreciated working from home
- Watered lots of grass ;)
- Went to two amazing concerts: Billy Pilgrim and Keane
- Sent Kate to Homecoming looking all grown up and beautiful
- Sent her to Jacksonville Beach with her friend, for late-Sept. Fall Break
- Welcomed her home with mono (!)
- Had one fun night (so far) with friends, making use of our fire pit and new patio
- Didn't get called/emailed/acknowledged by any of those dumb jobs
- Wished my manager well, as he was let go
- Had a very uncomfortable meeting with the CEO, but didn't lose my job (pros/cons on that one)
- Went to a UGA football game and Alex got to sit with us (no longer in the band!)
- Helped my parents a bit in Pensacola after a harrowing week of Dad's Parkinson's (seems better now)
Bringing us to now.
Currently, it's a Friday, I'm WFH, burning a cinnamon-apple candle, and just went outside for some sunshine therapy and stretching. It's a lovely 64 degrees this morning and leaves are starting to turn here. I have 2 meetings, maybe 3, and hoping for time to make chocolate chip cookies today or tonight, just because. Shawn and I plan to go vote early tomorrow morning, and I have a haircut scheduled in the afternoon.
I'm trying to feel peace even amid all the somewhat not-peaceful things that still swirl around. Grabbing it where I can: sunshine and stretching, baking, naps on the couch. I don't know if my brain has capacity, or desire, to write it all down here. I do know this: all of the seasons -- the waiting ones, the uncertain ones, the indecisive ones -- are part of God's Plan, too. So I guess things are good.
Everything is as it should be. xo
