sabrinamariCool stuff:
I am with Geo today, doing transcription and working with him on a couple of things, and he looks pretty good. I'm very happy!
I read most of "The Ethical Slut" over the last two days, and my level of panic has gone down considerably. Also, nobody died (laughing). I'm thinking that I can probably calm myself down about the explorations and self-confrontations I will need to do to manage my hesitance if I give myself enough time. I am almost never OK with new challenges/possibilities at first, and this is no different. I need to be patient with myself, and I need to choose friends and companions who are patient with me. Speedy shifting is probably not an option for me, and as long as I respect that, and choose to spend time with people who respect that, this will be OK. Probably.
B., My supervisor loves loves loves my field notes. This makes me so very happy. I am producing really detailed transcripts---very very time intensive---but I will be using at least one of the practices that I've written up in order to do some analysis in collaboration with B. She sees the value in what I've done and tells me that the notes are gripping and fun to read. She 's the third person this week to affirm to me that my writing is excellent. I love this.
I am getting much more organized this week, and it's important and good. Several people close to me are doing the same, and they are inspiring me to stay well on top of the changes and everyday responsibilities that I need to manage.
My mom and dad finally made reservations at the place next door to my complex: they plan to visti me from December 24-December 28. They might be delayed in arriving, and they could leave sooner than expected, but at least I have a clear ballpark estimate from which to work now.
I am still working out consistently and well, and it feels good. I'm up to Level 6 on the elliptical trainer's Interval program, for 36 minutes at a time. So far, I'm managing my old injuries pretty well in weight training and I hope to stay consistent and persistent, and slowly build up to a level of iron moving that makes me feel strong and proud. And my weight is dropping a little, too.
Happy!
