Rosa had wheezles and sneezles
Jun. 3rd, 2023 05:22 pmSuddenly come down with a cold. There have been some covid cases in the office but no colds, that I'm aware of. It's only light - started coming on last night so I had a Lemsip before bed and I've had a couple more today - plus my usual fluid intake. It's dehydration that kills me with a cold. Think I'll stay at home tomorrow morning, though, especially as we're hoping to go out to a local Indian restaurant in the evening.
I'm leading and speaking next Sunday, though, so want to be fighting fit for that! It's the call of Abram, which I'm going to contrast with Jesus sending out his disciples - the disciples are told to take nothing with them, to rely on God's generosity through other people, whereas Abram takes EVERYTHING with him because there are no previous examples for him to follow. Or something like that.
Had a good chat with my spiritual director about the 'new monastic community' idea - which we really want a new name for. Something gender neutral that also gives SOME indication of what it is without it needing a long explanation. Yeah - such a simple thing to do :D In the meantime, I'm hoping to start a prayer group, just so we keep up some momentum.
Felt like I was Doing My Job for a good chunk of the week - fewer meetings to take minutes for but more regarding people seeking my advice. One of the projects now has a dedicated business change manager, who is scary-competent but also super-nice, so is likely to Get Shit Done! I wondered idly to a colleague about getting them to join our department, then felt a moment's panic that they might show up my flaws - but a) that should just make me work even better and b) I don't think they'd actually want my job anyway :D And c) they must have their own flaws, I just haven't seen them, yet!
I watched Andrew Lloyd-Weber's 'Who do you think you are?' and it was really interesting - but at the back of my mind I was thinking there's some reason for disliking him, just can't remember what.
And we got to have cuddles with grandson #2 today. He also has a slight cold, so we couldn't infect each other :D He is still the most adorable baby ever.
