Up and at it early.

Getting up for the 6:00 swim is becoming easier. No longer just staying up, I have found that 2 hour naps in the afternoon, if called for, help stretch my day. And sleeping at night has become better as the days have not been so hot that I cannot enjoy them, or something. Whatever the case I will take the profits from the case.

I received a message yesterday. My phone was dead, so it was being recharged and it was off. Actually, I received 4 messages, only one of which was vital… I think. My application for college is on hold. I need to send a letter to the appeals committee before reinstatement can proceed. I have to indicate why I left, what I have been doing, why I should be allowed back and what I have and am doing to ensure I will not leave again. I typed that out earlier this morning and sent it to my academic advisor. She indicated it needed to be an expedited function. I would rather have printed it and taken it in manually, but today is shaping up to be a bit busier than usual. She had hoped for something from my doctor or voc. rehab. guide, but both of those are new people. One I have not even met, the other is not interested in meeting me and is only going to comply with the letter of the law as he has indicated to me, meaning he will be of no use for anything and will need to be worked around most of the time. I do understand. Perhaps I can win him over.

After swimming, I have to go visit a friend. It is something I need to do. I also need to write some emails attempting to get people to help me with a move. I have at least four phone calls to make beyond that, at least two of which will probably entail further calls or connections. Bank business and some other business is also needing serious attention. And, I will be working out later. Oh, I should probably get to Church and see about filling out a form or two. I meant to increase my giving this year, but that has not been done (though I am sure I put in the paperwork). As well, I mean to add my name to a list in order to be an usher or do other work depending on need. I will begin attending a Sunday Latin mass on top of my regular Saturday mass. I have volunteered to usher for that, too. They asked, what could I do?

It is good to feel well enough, and to have felt well enough long enough, that I may begin trusting myself to be places, do things, and work. I have to be careful with commitments, because I mean them now but I still only have just so much to give, if that is growing. I know that in harder times, these may be a strain. When I start classes, with the work outs, with Saturday and Sunday commitments, I will be pushing things farther than I ever have. Add to this a growing social circle of friends, and my commitments almost get me to the ‘big people’s’ table… almost. Well, ok, so it is more like a high school sophomore year, but the little chairs are becoming a bit too tiny. :p
