The Doings Report

One of my intentions for 2010 is to beware of extra.

Um, yeaaaah. FAIL.

In January, I started a new job. I also rehearsed (in another country) and played (in another state) a gig. This was a joy, but... Extra!

In February, we welcomed niece and new unschooler Emma into our daily routine. This is a continuing joy, but... Extra!

Also in February, I presented a little intro to meditation to my grandma and some of her friends. This was a joy and a real learning experience, but... Extra!

In March, my grandma was hospitalized with a badly broken shoulder. Not a joy. I began visiting her several times per week, and then moved in with her for a week in hopes of helping her transition back to independent living. Glad to do it, but... Extra!

Also in March, we traveled to that other country again for a 5Rhythms workshop and more rehearsal, celebrated Chloe's 16th birthday, and welcomed beloved houseguests. More joy, and more and more and more, but... Extra!

And now it is April. I spent the entire weekend at SakuraCon with MJ, Chloe, and Emma. MJ's boyfriend, Sean, is arriving for a visit. We're headed back to Canada for more rehearsal. There's a Non-Con to attend and several birthdays to observe. I'm thinking about enrolling in another meditation class. Oh, yes, and the @#^&%! taxes are due.

EX-FREAKING-TRA!

But I'm sure May will be different.
