The storm breaks

News
- I will be attending Mrs' appointment later today to take notes and assist. This is a good thing.

- Yesterday I had a high-profile presentation at work; it was scheduled for one hour and I called time at two hours and fifteen minutes. Literally have a dozen new experiments on deck. It's going to be a very busy summer, and I am grateful to (1) have a job, (2) have a job I enjoy immensely and (3) manage a strong team who are also lovely friends.

- Yesterday I attended the leadership meeting of the local ASQ chapter. I really like my geeky quality colleagues. They're so fun and nerdy - and committed. We gave away 8 scholarships to students transferring from 2 year to 4 year colleges; originally 1200.00 each. Not a lot, but every bit helps. Someone suggested we up that to 1500.00 and take the $ from our member scholarship fund. It passed unanimously. I love this group's commitment to the great community.

- This past week I've had a lot of grief. Frequently wept. Last night I cried for about two hours and then it was as if a fever, or a storm, broke. Felt cleansed and let go of the sadness. Much love to [livejournal.com profile] peters67, Diane, Hez, JO, and my niece, [livejournal.com profile] k_e_5810 for carrying me through this time.

Good luck at the appointment. I'm so glad you get to be there. It would be so difficult for Mrs' state to prevent her from processing or communicating or using what's learned then. <3 I'm glad you're hanging in there.

I'm glad you'll be at the appointment. I hope that goes well for both of you.

And also, I'm glad you've got good colleagues and friends around you. *hugs*

It's good that you're going. I'm glad that worked out as it did.
