Some days, this computer links right up, and other days it really wants to stall that process. It took a longer minute today than yesterday, but certainly shorter than some other days.
The pool is clear and I did remember to dump the chlorine, so I should be good for tomorrow.
My doctor's appointment went pretty well.
Had a really great conversation with Don Mosely yesterday. He has taken over Mark Webster's position, and came to see us where we worked. I don't think he is really reaching out to all of the former board members, so that's interesting. I wonder if he would have been here if we hadn't sent our donation, At any rate, he has also worked with Family Promise, so I feel better about doing that again this year. It was something that we seemed to enjoy doing as a family.
He said, "they really only reached out to the Math and Science," and said, "and that really annoyed me." or some version of that. I talked about the value of giving kids a venue for expressing their ideas and how it may help them get through those critical years of middle school and high school. When he left, I shook his hand, and said that I knew what was most important to me might have to wait a minute, but ... and he said, "you have my commitment on that," and it sounded more like a commitment that would come from someone who served on the board of Family Promise for three years, as he did, than from someone making a promise to secure support. So this part of my life is revving back up again, and if I can just hold Wonderland in its place, and if I can just get the boys on board with doing the things that are on the list so that I can quit nagging and being frustrated, and if I can just get caught up on the family bookkeeping and administration duties, I think I can be in pretty good shape.
I like the way they are reorganizing the board, since the old way didn't have a real peg or home for me.
Dr. Webster seemed to think that I'm in pretty good shape, so that's good too.
