Yesterday was our 2nd anniversary. I spent the day looking for the perfect gift, as the prior couple of weeks were too hectic for me to even think about shopping for anything not remotely shaped like a grocery. In the end, I got Rob a CD stand that matches our desks and sits between them, to hold some of his reference booklets and extra games. It's also a handy repository for his sheep collection. :)
School seems to be in control in a vague, worrisome way. There are days when I am so sure I'm forgetting something, and other days when I'm not sure I can get it all done. I have an exam tomorrow night, the first of the quarter. Bleech. Today there's a meeting of the paralegal association but I'm going to skip it. The last meeting I went to was a bit too scattery to make me feel efficient. Perhaps by the next meeting they'll be more organized. I hate meetings where half the information isn't available and the person leading the meeting doesn't seem to know who got assigned what when.
Of course, that's how some of my little game meetings might seem. I dunno. Sometimes I feel like I'm too absorbed by the details. Other times, I'll reflect that Suz never spent as much time worrying about us as I do, but that's because I didn't have a me to do the worrying for me until lately.
After I got back from the memorial, I kept worrying: what if something happened to me, who'd take care of my game. It's not my game, of course, but having been there since before day one, it feels that way to me. And after pondering the idea that Suz had picked me for the game for her own devious reasons, I selected my most likely successor using my own devious reasons. She's smart, good with people and looooooves the game. At this point, it's an unofficial stance, but since we recently promoted her, I think I'll mention it to the rest of the staff sometime soon. With all the chaos of the past several months, I am not sure we'd be in the shape we are without her helping to ground me and encourage me. It's nice to have someone that you can depend upon who doesn't think your bonkers for some of your silly notions. :)
