It’s Pascha week for me, so I’m working on being reflective. I want to start with an idea that I had after hearing the sermon this Sunday. It was about the people who held palms while Jesus rode into Jerusalem. They all had an expectation of who he was and what he was going to do. I find myself like that; I have expectations that may not be realistic. Then, I’m disappointed when things work out differently than what I expect. The question I need to think about is why I had those expectations in the first place. Are they based on any truth or possibility? This has really helped me to rein in myself, but I have to admit that I’m a bit angry and disappointed right now about a certain circumstance. Now, I’m seeing that this is largely my own fault. Without expectation, I won’t get so excited and have disappointment. The hard part now is getting to the place that I should have been in the first place. The circumstance that I’m upset and disappointed about is about my child and the lack of opportunities for him that I can see in his future. But maybe there is something that is much bigger than what I can currently see in an area that is different that what I can imagine.

I worked through the compulsory Child Abuse Reporting Training. This will now be an every 3rd year training for those who don’t work directly with minors.

I worked through making adjustments to 220 dev space. Hopefully, we can put that project to bed soon.

On Tuesday, I felt like I was running in place. That evening, I got sick. So I guess it makes sense now.

On Wednesday, I worked at home for the AM and took sick time in the PM. I’m hoping to feel better tomorrow.

Thursday was a better day. I was able to get things caught up and ready for me to take off until Tuesday of the next week.
