Meetings

My brain just isn’t doing it these days. If something is mentioned to me, of course, I write it down immediately or add it to my calendar directly. But it has to be brought up. I know we have rodeo meetings the first Wednesday of each month, starting roughly in August or September. But I also always put them in my calendar when they are first mentioned in an e-mail or at our first meeting. However, I didn’t have any in my calendar before tonight, aside from our first meeting this month. Fortunately, we got an e-mail today telling us about the meeting this week. But it kind of freaked me out. I always put them all into my calendar as soon as they are mentioned each year. And, I guess, they just weren’t mentioned in our first meeting, and they weren’t in the follow-up e-mail either (which came quite late, actually, in terms of the info we were waiting to receive in it). Even still, it took me off guard that I had nothing in my calendar, and it freaked me out a bit that I could have potentially missed it, let alone others, because my brain wasn’t automatically waiting for the first Wednesday of the month for our next meeting.

Does that make sense? It does to me, anyway… things are just harder now, both physically and mentally. And emotionally, too, really, and hormonally. Extroversion and dirtiness have become immensely difficult for me in recent months, and both wipe me out energetically like crazy.

Lord, help me to do well on all you call me to do. Make me and this baby well, please, and keep us and my family safe. Keep my husband especially safe, please. Thank you for this family and for this future into which we are getting finally to grow. Thank you. In your name, I pray. Amen.
