Today was my first day back to work after being sick all weekend. I am coughing a lot but feeling better. I'm going to keep up my medication because I certainly don't want to relapse. I've had pneumonia before and it is not fun.
I am really tired and ready for bed. It was a crazy day. I started out the day getting ready for our first session of our budget and finance classes for our Partner Families. This soon spiraled out of control into a saga of confusion and chaos. I called the place where we were having the meetings. It's some sort of civic center. A volunteer reserved the room for us several weeks ago. However, when I called the civic center to confirm the room reservation, they had no record of our reservation and all their rooms were booked by other groups. I needed to be off to a meeting in the city of Hamilton but I called our volunteer in a panic and asked her to make a few calls to see if there was another place we could meet. I stepped out of my meeting a couple of times to see if she had made any progress. Nothing was happening. I had twelve people signed up for the classes and no place to meet. We tried churches, the library, and other places we could think of and nothing was available on such short notice. I nearly had a meltdown.
Well, evidently there was some kind of miscommunication and we did have a room reserved. It's just that the person I talked to isn't in charge of the area where our room was in the building. It was a different person. Also, these two people in charge of reserving rooms in this same building do not communicate with one another in any way. This seems stupid and inefficient to me but I guess it's their system. Anyway, the meeting went fine. I got lost finding the building. My GPS had no idea where it was and sent me down a road the wrong way.
I am really tired and got nothing accomplished today and my work is piling up to the ceiling. I'm so tired of blowing my nose and coughing that I can hardly stand it. I am supposed to meet one-on-one with our new Executive Director tomorrow and I'm afraid I might breakdown in tears. So, I guess I need to head to bed.
Thanks for listening to me whine. Thanks for being a part of my journey!
