I had this 10 hour headache this morning....
in other news, I am going to be making a live audio presentation w/my coworker to an eastcoast audience of doctors
and other hospital people =)
It will be like a 1 hour radio program presentation, recovery radio, where we will be talking about
drama/narratives and rec therapy and how that can be used in the recovery process. We are also going to be
taking lives calls from callers :) stay tuned!
We had the pre-retreat today, where we got asked some questions about our job, and what matters to us on a likert scale, I ranked myself as totally invested in my work. I guess that is this passion bit. It's the one area of my life that I don't feel like a complete failure, so why wouldn't i keep going back to it? The peopel who were on the otherside have famalies and loves in their lives, so it's just a different role I guess. One that for whatever reason, I'm not in the season of my life to play out. In any event, it's been a good ride and the adventure continues.
We had to pick figures that represent us
I picked a superhero because I enjoy saving the day, but don't like spotlight (thus the mask) and
i have a astrong affinity for spandex. I find it..spandexellente.
We've been having this running joke on my whiteboard about me in different roles (Katz)
so we've had Emerald the Katz which is me dressed as a cat, Katz in cone- me in an
icecream cone, Katz in a scone (self explanatory) Katz the linebacker- basically my
head pinned on to ridiculous bodies.
This is the newest installment my coworker drew up during our lunch break
It's a little bit excellent. MJ, you da man.
Canterbury house was pleasant, good eats, good convesations, and reflections on russian orthodox church
icons. The chaplain said we are called to reach out to others but also reminded to look into ourselves
and seek out others when we are in need. Noone can go at it in this life alone thats for darn sure.
I am trying to walk the line and finding it increasingly difficult, but will endure. it's the only way.

The Katz of Pop is by far my favorite of your freakish creations. Ten hours is way too long for a headache...are you better? Russian Orthodox Church things sound scary to me. Maybe I don't like Russians. I'm giving you double eProps, whatever those are. Don't spend them all in one place.
Wow that conference call thing sounds like it will be just a great experience for you and lots of fun as well. Who knows, maybe one day you'll have a weekly call-in show ! Hopefully your headache is over with now, I know how much they suck. I used to get headaches on a regular basis when I was a kid, but fortunately I don't get them too often these days.
I think as long as you are passionate about what you do and you enjoy it, then that's the main thing, and there is nothing wrong with being too invested in work. Its only important to scale back somewhat when you are at that point in your life where you're ready for a serious relationship and all that.
You are very artistic ! If you keep up with the ideas, you'll be able to have a Katz for everyday. I hope that your week has been going well so far. Take care and I'll talk to you later, bye for now.
