Bob Dylan - Emotionally Yours

Hi Mari
 

Dylan is my favorite artist. He is the Poet of our day. I hope he continues to write, but ends his tour. I saw him last month, and just felt bad, that what voice he did have, was not doing so good in concert. Just got his latest bootleg series. take care Mari, ginnie:grouphug:

Formal event Friday
 

Hi,

Tomorrow I have to work a formal event. I got assigned to a committee in charge of this affair.
We have a fundraiser / dinner. A big shot professional athlete ( think three time league champion)is coming as our "draw" so we could sell tickets.

This is not part of my bailiwick.@&$!!!!!!!##
But I have been sitting in meetings quietly waiting for this to be over at some point/ Friday night.

====
Today I was assigned the event task of "working with resolution of issues at registration." That sounds hard.
I have no experience being nice to people and none whatsoever with checking registration for an event of 600 + guests.


Ahhhh

Dear Mari,

I believe you will be just fine. You are much more organized than you often seem to feel, and that will be a fundamental skill. You also have the ability to distill things very well, another immensely useful skill when it comes to "resolution of issues". Besides, if the event planners have done their job well, your role will mostly be that of overseeing a well-oiled machine. So let's hope they did a good job.

I get that this is not your cup of tea. I am sorry you got stuck with this, but who knows, some part of the event may be enjoyable for you too. That is my hope, that you will find some fun to be had as well. ;)

good luck!

Waves,
Thanks for reminding me that I have strengths.
Mostly I hope to focus on pacing myself (so as to keep up energy levels but more importantly so that I do not get overwhelmed or anxious in front of folks.)

Bobby,
I am packed and have one little thing to adjust/sew and I can do that after I sleep. --- I feel ready for the day.
I packed because we apparently are expected to set up in street wear / normal clothes and use a shared hotel room to dress and apply make up when we get close to the time when people start arriving.

Bizi,
Yes about the food. I am told we will have spectacular food.


The email said that when the event starts I can sit with my guest -- my work will be done.
My friend William is looking forward to the evening with me but he already knows that I might step out and leave to go home at any time.
He is a good friend.

And now I am crying.
The anxiety is gone. . . replaced by deep sadness with sleepiness. A couple of minutes ago, I took my normal 0.5 Klonopin aware that I might get more sleepy and become useless.
I have another 0.5 in my purse in case anxiety / energy kicks in.

Hubby has been unhelpful by asking for advice about one of his things he likes to obsess over (I declined.)
Then he gives me random information that I am supposed to process when I am double and triple checking packing ( taking stuff out, adding stuff, minimizing in other ways . . . .)

. . . Ironing is not working :confused:
Apparently someone has discovered, produced, and sold to me material that comes with wrinkles in only in conspicuous places and that cannot be ironed out.
I will go wrinkled.

Maybe I should work up some anger.
I do have the Black Keys on my phone and they work well enough when I need something loud to tune out everything else in my head.

Of course, the navigation app on my phone uses a lot of battery juice even when it is plugged into the car at the same time. I have the cords to charge my phone at the place . . I hope . .. because music might help me.

I am thinking about you Mari,

and I have been.

I hope things work out ok for you.
