District 5 office

Hi all,
Well, we have filled the role at the office vacated by Cynthia.  Our new employee starts tomorrow!  Hurray!

Many thanks to Dick R. for his leadership in finding candidates, scheduling interviews, and scheduling temporary help during the interim.  Thanks to Rick B. for his service on the interview and selection committee.

Also, someone has stepped forward to serve as the Office Coordinator.  Actually a team of two someones.  I am so relieved and happy.  You truly have no idea.

I have been feeling completely overwhelmed by the DR thing and Cynthia's leaving sort of sent me over the edge.  It was the last straw and broke my back for about a 3 week period, culminating in 3 really bad days the week before last, a late night phone call to my service sponsor who was away in the mountains, and a great deal of turmoil in my mind and heart.  Plus much crying and blubbering.

So, I'm moving forward again.  Working on trying to find balance in my life for all that I do - work, District Rep, my meetings, my involvement in a professional organization, pottery classes, and physical therapy following knee surgery that is still continuing.

My service sponsor and I talked again at the end of this past week and she will knock me upside the head (gently) when I let myself feel so beaten up again.

The District meeting on October 9 went well and Fall Assembly is coming up fast.

Well, the dryer has buzzed and it is time to put away clothes before going to bed for a new work week.

Thank you to the many of you that shared hugs with me over the past two weeks.  They have meant more to me than you will ever know.
Angela B.
