meetings

A day of meetings. It is physically possible to have had more meetings today, but from 2pm until a little bit ago, I have been in different forms of meetings. I love meetings. I am not complaining. I am tired and ready for bed though. I am preparing for a 2 week trip back to Phoenix. I am overwhelmed with getting my personal and work stuff ready for me to not be here. I have been here since June 2, 2008. 8 months! The longest I have been away from LV since I have lived here has been ...maybe...3 days? That is odd. I cant remember a time since college, when I haven't traveled in so long. The odd part is that I don't feel very compelled to leave or travel. I want to be here. After sitting in these meetings all day, it feels weird to be leaving. I will miss the 1st official facilitator guild meeting, I will miss a purpose circle and a few well being meetings, and other misc. gatherings. It will be ok- I know. As R said the other day...(he has come and gone to LV over the last 10 years) ' so much changes, but sooo much is the same' . When I come back there will still be no official alcohol policy, and most likely no membership track. We seem to be in this forward propulsion though, where I wouldn't be surprised if I am wrong about that. I trust that the community will make (or not make) great decisions without my presence. What I do need to worry about is that the mice wont come take over my room... or saying bye to anyone who is leaving while I am gone... staking a claim on a bigger room in case of another housing shuffle...etc.
Thank you J and M for gathering us for what has been called , the first ever LV staff meeting!
