Day 385 - whew

It was a long tough week.

I have been feeling run down, and on top of it work was, well, busy. The work I do finds me in the middle of multiple interests. Sometimes I consider myself a diplomat, other times a herder of cats.

About once a week I do or say something that makes me think, "I really do know what I am doing".

The rest of the time I am not so sure.

With all of this rattling in my head, Doug and I went to a University of Oregon fundraiser last night.

What I really wanted to do was curl up into bed. Instead I sprinted home, got dressed up, and headed out the door for cocktail hour and speeches.

I was so tired that I tried to convince Doug that we should leave early. He really wanted to stay, and for the first time in a year, I felt like I could do something for him.

We stayed.

And I am glad we did.

The last speaker summed up my week perfectly when she said "Experience is what you get when you don't get what you want."
