The tough part isn’t the work, it isn’t moving, it isn’t teaching or even leading. The toughest part is managing to find the time to be do of these things as well as the father and husband my family deserve. Choices have to be made, time is finite and it isn’t possible to do it all. I guess it is just coming into sharper relief as we are trying to juggle 4 schedules that already conflict. I hope we are able to find solutions that work for everyone, but at this stage I’m not seeing it. I think this is one of those brain worms that will probably cause me to lose sleep tonight. I can’t see a solution and don’t know why I can’t. I know it must be there, but I guess I just haven’t given it enough thought.
Today was another good day. It is nice to be contributing and supporting. Understanding enough to answer questions and starting to get comfortable in front of and moving between new colleagues is a relief. When the orientation started it was pretty overwhelming, but I guess I didn’t see it as overwhelming at the time and just let it wash over me. Honestly, even if I had recognized it I doubt I would have changed anything.
No picture today. I need to get out and explore with my camera. There is a lot of opportunity here but right now it is a ball that can’t be added to the juggling. Hopefully soon.
