Dashed home to work more on the talk for Melbourne this week – re ordered the content to help it make more sense to someone who doesn’t know anything about dissociation or multiplicity, cut out the poems, and managed in the end to only reduce it by 1 minute running time… I still have to cut another 5 minutes from somewhere. Deeply frustrated!
Then ran off again to Radio Adelaide for more training. Did my first interview with a hand held recorder standing on North Terrace and trying to block out the traffic noise. Fun! Really enjoying this course.
Home again to work more on the talk, print up travel passes, pack, fire off last minute emails, and get ready to go.
Tuesday is a full day of training with Mary O’Hagan at a ‘Recovery approach to Risk’ workshop I have been fortunate enough to get into. I’m very excited about it! That’s a full day, I’ll munch down some dinner, grab my gear and head off to the airport to go to Melbourne after.
Charlie is looking a lot better and booked in to the vet for a checkup on Wednesday… another fortnight’s pay demolished!
And today a big chunk of a molar that’s been slowly dying fell off, leaving a sharp jagged edge that’s cutting into my tongue. The quickest appt I could get with my (superb) dentist is mid March… I hope I don’t get a big ulcer just before having to do these talks!
When I get back I’m going to polish up the Dissociation Link website and launch that with a new newsletter for this month, print new business cards with those details on it, do my Radio Adelaide homework, and book in some nights off to relax. So far I’m keeping all the balls in the air and still eating two meals a day at least and wearing clean socks. I suspect by the end of this week I’m going to be ready to wipe out… although the nervous energy following the talks might keep me wired until a crash on Sunday.
Hope you’re having a good week too. 🙂
