One Heck of a Week…

This has been quite a week, let me tell you. I have felt like crawling underneath a table and staying there for much of it. In short, work has been VERY busy between board meetings and rule changes going into effect yesterday. I never knew before how much work it takes to run a government. It’s HUGE!! And you go through a lot of paper. Stupid printer. I am finally done house sitting for a little while, it will be nice to sleep in my own room tonight. Though I housesit to so much for Sue, she has invited me to bring some decorations over there for “my room”. Katie, my roommate, actually called me after a few days just to make sure I was okay. It’s so nice to have someone worried about me like that, just wanting to know how I am.

This weekend I am headed out to the woods near Mt. Hood, nearby Government Camp. The Northwest Pacific Yearly Meeting is holding their Willamette Quarterly meeting there and have asked me to speak on the panel. It will be fun.

I’ll have to write more in here next week. It seems like the last few weeks I have just been checking in which I’m not particularly fond of but my energy is being put into other things right now. I’m hoping it will smooth out a bit after this tap show is done on the 11th. I have a whole new appreciation for how much work it takes to organize the performance of just one dance. Hats off to Stacey for doing it so often. She’s in Israel right now so left Sheri and I to team teach for a few weeks. I’m glad we are, between the two of us, we cover all the bases.

Last Sunday I left the tap class in Sheri’s hands so I could escape to the beach for a much needed breather. I can tell when I’m due for a beach trip and a walk along the shore, I feel suffocated. I am glad I went. Here are some of my favorite photos…
