Ha, keeping things in proper order. Worked hard on a panel/workshop dealing with workplace conflict. Disagreed with the organizer and the other panelist on something, and this morning the organizer sent me an email stating my services would not be needed and to submit my invoice. [And as I like to whisper, don't let the door slam on your way out.] What does that mean when we couldn't cope with variant points of view ourselves? I wonder what she'll say about why I'm not there next week. May never know.
Anyway, invoice sent. Filed away all my draft work. Turning to other matters.
Given my mom's declining health, I'm rearranging my appointments to get over to Atlanta to see her. Looked up the etiquette advice on dealing with this as I'm nearly 100% a keeper of my word. One tip I immediately used: if it's short notice and important, meet with the person or call. I was in the middle of writing I'd need to withdraw from a commitment I made in September to devote a month to this project, beginning tomorrow! Ah man, hard stuff.
So the goal today was to begin to clear my plans. So I called. He was real gracious and shared a bit of his own personal experience with ailing relatives.
So, for the rest of the day, I kept looking over my schedule and cancelling appointments.
Tomorrow, first look at plane tickets, making my packing list, etc. Then consult with brother and partner over where matters stand.
Oh, I may have 1 work appointment, then a couple of errands. I want to drop off all my library books so that's clear of my mind. Which raises a question: what to take to read on the flights? If reading is even possible.
