Eeek!! Is it *really* the 15th, aka the halfway mark through the month??
More of this from me today ~>
The weekend flew by even though I worked all day yesterday. (And yes, I slept like a rock last night! Woo hoo!) I got to work at 9, left at 4:30, and logged 11,000 steps. The first Forest Bathing Hike went well, but it was actually harder with only three people. I thought it would be easier but no one wanted to share, a lot fewer questions, that kind of stuff. I couldn't reach the birch leaves on the one tree either. LOL! If you take a leaf from that tree and sniff the end of it, it will smell like wintergreen and/or birch beer. Everyone gets a kick out of that, so I was disappointed that I couldn't offer it. We did get to smell the witch hazel leaves. though.
I wrote up the plan for the HS Field Trip for next week. I am not sure who is running it since I'll be at the conference but at least it will be all set for them. Then we had the donors meeting and that was both uncomfortable and fun. I am not super comfy making small talk but after a while, I did ok. I took one of the donors for a quick(er) forest bathing hike. It was kind of fascinating doing the same sensory walk through the woods at different times of the day. When we do it with the kids, such as on a field trip, it is one group right after another. Not to mention our attention isn't on the play of sunlight through the leaves ha! Everything looked so different 5 hours later-- everything glowed. If I were alone, I would have taken photos. If I had a superpower, my first choice would always be teleportation. But having the ability for my eyes to take photos is in my top 10. Maybe even my Top 5.
Today is a work from and at home day. The trustees asked Lauren and me to look at a Grant Offer and come up with a proposal for it. I have never done anything like this before. Have any of you done that and do you have advice?
It cracks me up when I "hob-nob" with the Trustees and they seem to think I know what I am doing.
(They are all really awesome people and I love working with them. I only get a touch of impostor syndrome - just a touch that feels like a punch occasionally
)
I also cleaned my office last week. Can anyone tell me why it looks like a tornado hit again? I can't seem to keep this little space tidy and organized. Pfft.
oops-- I am really behind schedule. Too much time chattering away.
*signing off with a big hug to everyone*
