I'm stressed and edgy and the work week hasn't yet begun here...
It was a short weekend, after getting home Saturday afternoon. Friday I left Vermont before 6am, drove the 110 miles from Fairlee to Manchester in 1:20, and made a morning flight to BWI. Then lunch with my NASA Headquarters program manager... who I like greatly and who is coming to the Arctic with us. Even if she's been in DC for two years and still doesn't know where to go for lunch ;). And then other meetings downtown, and fighting traffic outbound...
Friday night was a milestone... first overnight in three years in DC with![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
geekchick. Yay! Though slightly anticlimactic, as both of us were exhausted from the week and conked out after dinner.
David's Ragazzi concert was a success, Saturday afternoon... he didn't fidget, behaved and sang beautifully. Noticeable improvements since March. And we were joined there by EK (school resource specialist) andtenacious_snail (who I'm also grateful towards for covering Kevin's Little League closing ceremonies, that morning). Then Pat and I went to a party in San Jose, and saw who_is_she and other, non-LJ friends there... I was so tired that I fell asleep. Ulp.
Today... church, vacation arrangements, relationship processing. I tried to find a solution that would satisfy others, ignoring my own preferences. Wound up with three dissatisfied people instead of just one. Sigh. More stress and edginess... it hasn't been a good couple of weeks, in that sense.
