The great news for today: The Timer App has come back to my Apple Watch. About two years ago, I accidentally deleted it, and it would not come back. Apparently, it was a glitch. Well, they must have fixed it because I went to ask my phone to set my timer for 15 minutes when my watch said, "You don't have the timer app installed." Then I said install, and it was the one I deleted two years ago!
So, I have my freewrite timer installed today. That is good after a sort of stressful morning. Maybe that need for CLOSURE needs to be put back in its box?
Ok, maybe I need to quit obsessing over how I am going to schedule 30 people over five different groups and 15 time zones? Last year was different, I didn't have to schedule the supervision group until January. So, I had already started the Sustainable Faith training and 2HC Campfire. It was also much easier to schedule Campfire last year because we were all together in one place, it was the end of August and not the end of July with only a little break between the last one and this one.
On top of all that, I have a 19th Annotation group to schedule. The good news is that they are all in the Central time zone! So, I am thinking I can schedule them for the afternoon.
More good news is that the Renovare group all wants to come back at the same time.
Bad news, I am hoping I don't have to teach on Mondays at OSU. I would really love to know if I am or not.
So, I think I will schedule the Central Time Zone people in the early afternoon their time and 11 am my time on a Tuesday or Thursday on the 1st and 3rd weeks of the month.
See, it is all a balancing act, and it is like a jigsaw puzzle. Leading the groups is not going to be an issue because I have done it before, and I love that they are small and easy to manage.
Also, the 19th annotation group is really great.
Renovare books this year are really good books: Worth Celebrating, Celebration of Discipline, a book by Rick Villoides (sp?), and one by Caussade. All books I am excited about. That should be easier to lead, especially Celebration since I have already led a group in this before.
Can I just say that I am happy I did not ... now I forget what just came into my mind. It will come back to me.
So, I am good. I am waiting to hear back from one of the people I am doing a sponsorship interview with for the OMS.
So, it all starts again next week, but in the meantime, I am celebrating my birthday! Starting with Kim in about an hour.
That should be really good. And I have an appointment with Dr. Myers to remedy this back thing. It has not totally gone back in, but I have managed it really well. I thought prolotherapy put all these days behind me, but maybe it is still my "thorn in the flesh." Those 11 months were glorious though. So good. Nate has helped with his towel on my sacrum trick.
So, I am happy that I am all ready for the 19th in terms of content. I am also ready for the OMS retreat in terms of content. They have never asked me to do anything, but I see I am on the schedule to coordinate the content (they are pretty disorganized with everything they do on the USA side).
All that to say, I am so excited about this 19th. All eager. All "with it" people. The 2HC as well. So, it looks to be a fulfilling time.
I also think all my directees are "on board" these days.
Just a jigsaw puzzle of scheduling that should get better when all the people pieces come together.
