September sucked.
A bad combination of lost days at work due to Labor Day, my boyfriend’s mom dying, a Friday wedding, another funeral; plus some weekends spent with family during Mary Jo’s last days and the funeral and its aftermath and continuing to help my mom clean up after the tornado; plus recent staff turnover at both Progressive Dane and the Tenant Resource Center; and some extra things at work this month like teaching a full-day seminar, strategic planning for the Tenant Resrouce Center board of directors and planning a fundraiser; and some extra things in the community like the Allied Charrette, Build your own Budget meetings, Section 8 at the County Board; and some extra tasks like chairing the Progressive Dane General Membership Meeting and extra city meetings due to capital budget plus the routine tasks of having a full-time job and supervising 9 staff, being co-chair of a political party and a local elected official, just didn’t leave any time for blogging (or sanity) last month.
This month has to get better! And I hope I find time to blog more than 5 times!
So, hopefully, starting today, I should be back to my nearly daily blogging activities . . . I hope! But if you don’t hear from me as much as usual, I still have some extra work to do this month like be in Oshkosh, Stevens Point, Waukesha and LaCrosse this month to teach full day seminars; and there will be two days of hiring interviews for positions at TRC; plus the fundraiser at the end of the month; and continuing strategic planning; and planning the orientation for new PD steering committee members; and then there’s the city budget . . . and hopefully I have time to clean up my yard and plant some bulbs for the spring and play with my new ipod . . . and I’m sure there is more that is sure to come up . . . . but I’ll do my best . . . .
