Busy day

Started out by turning off my 6 AM alarm. I was half in a dream and in it, it was Saturday morning and I grumbled at myself for setting the alarm. Fortunately I did turn on the TV. I woke up fully realizing it was Tuesday at 7 and made it to work ten minutes early. I had a buddy with me that I was assigned to mentor. Eeeep!! it would have been so wrong to be late.

We went out, did our thing, had to get permission to go over our allotted 8 hours, got it, got what we needed and I got home a 8:15 p.m. All in all it was a good day. Lots of writing to do, but nothing unmanageable (I hope). As the leader I’ve got the bulk of the work to do, but as the mentor I have to help my buddy get their stuff written and make sure they know how to do the background work that also has to be done (since they’ll have to do it all on their own eventually.)

Long day, busy day, and sort of a fun day.

A spankin’ this morning and tonight would have made it a near perfect day …. you know? Worry & stress that I’m too green to be a mentor … worry that what we found won’t fly .. and I ended up the driver (better than being the passenger, but not my favorite thing when I prefer some of the slightly longer back roads to the freeways, and I know that I’ve gotta do the freeway so as no to eat up my coworker’s time.) We made it there and back on the freeways, no issues, and exactly within the allotted time precedent all the other drivers have set. Ta Da!

So from now on I’ll clean out my back seat, keep it clean, and take my legitimate turn as the designated driver. Sigh… a minor step forward toward overcoming my driving fears…. It’s all good doncha think?

Working on my writing … lost some ground these last two days … got some lovely drawings started - have a new all in one scanner/printer/fax still in my car trunk (more than two months now) … really want to show off my new stuff … here’s hoping that energies and opportunities line up soon.

Love y’all
