nearing the end of August

I'm feeling very contemplative these days. So much has been happening these past few weeks.

S's health is not improving, PS passed away... And while these are only footnotes in my blog, these events do affect me emotionally. Only, I'll keep my thoughts to myself.

And while all this has happened, much has been going on with me...

I'll be back with the Scouts as Akela starting in the Fall. I'm starting to feel overwhelmed with it though. Even before school has begun, I've dropped my one and only course. I'm feeling rather dissatisfied about that though, since I love taking classes and forcing my brain to think. I've found that I haven't been challenging myself as much as before in the past few years - I'm ready for more thought-provoking challenges. So far, I've only met with time-management challenges. I may still sign up for a course though, maybe at another school...

These past few weeks, and the coming weeks leave me little time for myself. I've had no time to just relax and do nothing, like I should be doing in August. I'm behind in my chores too, and my house is starting to look like a pig-sty - piles of paper and books everywhere. My mind is sleepy and I'm feeling very tired these days.

My thoughts now turn to the return of my supervisor. She's been away on vacation for the last 3 weeks, and it's been bliss for me. I dread her return next week, as I'm sure she'll be full of useless long-winded pointless anecdotes about her trip.
