I think my mind is returning to some sense of normalcy (if you could ever call me normal!) after a stressful month. It wasn't all bad stress; it's just the stress of dealing with a new home coupled with work stuff.
I'd been feeling pretty worthless at work lately. Things that should be seemingly simple were really difficult for me, especially when it came time putting some budgets together for my programs. We're in the middle of a lull which there's not much to do, or rather, I'm not given much to do... I hate when that happens because my mind just turns to mush. Part of it also is that I haven't been out in the field for more than month, so I feel like pretty stagnant. So, with all that, I just haven't had a lot of good feelings about my work performance right now.
Now, things are looking brighter... I hope. Not that I have much to do still, but I know that I'll get a good break in a few weeks for Honduras. I just need a change of pace.
I also know that this is the eye of the storm. Once my program starts picking up, I'll be spending extended stays in South Florida.
Well, enough of the gloom. Let's talk happy things... I'm going to start painting soon! I'm excited about that. My new home isn't feeling like home yet, and it won't until the painting is done. I haven't even slept my first night there.
Once everything is order, my house will be open to all my friends who'd like to visit Tallahassee (which isn't too excited, but I am a convenient stop for those of you from the west who want to go on to Orlando. Just let me know.
