A Daily Check-In

watching chopped, Thanksgiving episodes. Amazing what they are coming up with.

Working on a "love" quilt. A wedding gift for my two sweet friends who are getting married. They named it, their very last wedding! The others were practice...lol

High: I had a very productive work day with very little stress. (Rare)

Low: One of my meetings was addressing a client being let go from his job. He took it well but I don't think he understood completely. 😞

High: I had a great first meeting with my new boss.

Low: feeling melancholy.

I'm so overwhelmed at work. I have so many projects and no end in sight. I wish our vacations were sooner, but I'll hang in there for now.....

Good news is the projects are being completed with success! We had a Pride fundraiser last weekend and raised $600 for interpreting services, yay! I am coordinating 50 interpreters for comic con international and that is coming together smoothly, and my staff performance evaluations are nearing completion and I successfully completed a pretty big audit for one of our biggest contracts.

My cup is half full! :-D

Highlight: Wrapping up a project that came with a crazy deadline. Thank goodness it was a small and easy-to-do job.

Low point: Hearing that a friend has a benign meningioma on left side of her brain and will need to have it removed in the next few days. So glad they expect her to recover fully—100%.

Highlight: Talking to Cousin Al on the phone. He's an all around good guy. Very fly, very reliable, and very stable. An old soul.... We grew up together. We went to different schools, but we saw each other a lot on the weekends. He's a couple years older than me and would be a chaperone and chauffeur for my friends and I when we were teenagers and wanted to go to concerts. My father was crazy strict, but he'd relax if I was with Al. There was a lot of drama with our parents and aunts and uncles but never among our generation. It will be nice seeing him and his wife in a couple weeks. We'll spend lots of time talking about retiring from our jobs.

Low point: The fires in California, especially the ones in North County San Diego.

Highlight : my youngest son called me really early this morning, seemingly out of the blue, at 4:45 am. He was going to his second job, sounded really tired, but he's determined. I'm so proud of him. And it was so good to hear his voice.

Lowlight: drama at work. : (

Highlight: My boss. He is such a great person. He and his wife have nine kids: two of their own, seven of them adopted, all of them with Downs Syndrome. I feel super fortunate to have someone like him as an coworker.
