Fall is a whirlwind. It always is.
And with some unexpected events, this fall seems a little busier than normal.
Some events are positive. I was asked to teach some training classes for our county's Board of Elections. So far I'm enjoying the preparation process (though my real prep work begins this weekend), but the thought of being the official "trainer" is also a little intimidating. I don't feel old enough to be in this position. It seems unreal that I have worked as a poll official for more than 10 years, but I have.
Other events are necessarily bad, just requiring an adjustment of our schedules. I'll be posting more about that in a few weeks.
Meanwhile, I'm trying to figure out how to finish up the yardwork while having very full days the rest of the week. I'm reminding myself of the mantra "little by little" as I tackle small projects in small time frames. And on days like today, I remind myself that I know what has been accomplished, even if no one else does.
I may not be winning races, but I am still walking!
