I am still a bit down because of Father's Day and how much it reminds me of Dad's death. Unlike more organic remembrances, that may still be sad but are at least enjoyable nostalgia, Father's Day just makes me think about the fact he is missing from my life now. It is definitely painful. His birthday is also coming up on Wednesday so it is a rough time for grief all around.
My event is, and like all event planning, the last week is chaos. It is basically controlled panic. While I do enjoy it, I could never do events like this full time - too exhausting. Also, this is a massive event and there has been less time to plan it than normal, even for a smaller event.
Also, related to work, it seems local discontent is coming a bit to the surface, which in general is a good thing because it will allow me to address concerns and improve relationships. But really this isn't coming at a time when I have the time, energy, or even mental capacity to give it the attention it deserves.
One week from today, next Monday, I should be able to take a deep breath and feel more centered.

Yes June is a tough month for missing George. The event will come together. Putting on plays is like that, the final week of rehearsal, and often the dress rehearsal, are messy (we're not ready yet) but then it all comes together in the end and all the hard work pays off. There will be glitches on the day but you just hope that " the audience doesn't notice" . See you Wed night and I will join the chaos.
