I woke up this morning planning to go play ultimate frisbee if I could find somewhere to play on a Sunday morning. I remembered that once a few weeks ago a friend texted me some info about a good Sunday morning game. I got out my cell phone and searched through my texts. I didn't find his text, but I did find a text message I sent to my mom on May 10th of this year (five days before she died). It said,

"Happy mother's day! I love you!"

I haven't cried about my mom being gone in at least a month, but this unexpected finding made my eyes and nose smart. I remember where I was when I sent that text message. I was on Wake Forest University's campus walking through the Polo Road entrance. I had tried calling my mom earlier that week but hadn't gotten an answer, so decided to text her. I believe this was the last time I ever communicated with my mom, and it was a stupid text message.

I haven't found anywhere to play ultimate frisbee this morning.

So glad to have a 3-day weekend

It's been a rough week at work. Among the big projects I'm working on are planning the PP fall staff retreat, finding a new office space for our client services program, and planning the layout of our new headquarters office space. I have so many ideas, and it's hard to focus! I have to work on these projects on top of my normal daily tasks such as bill processing, reimbursements, HR, and tech support. PP was hit with a big blow this week - our senior financial officer has given less than two weeks notice of her resignation. I won't go into too much detail, but this may be one of the worst times of the year for her to resign. October is our biggest grant-reporting month, and people are scrambling as it is. It's a big mess. I think everyone has had time to process the reality of losing this person and her skills and now are getting organized trying to figure out if we can really do all the necessary work this month without her. It's going to be a crazy end of the year with grant reports, deadlines, and moving to the new office. AH.

update on bike accident

Update on my shoulder: I went to my chiropractor yesterday for my regular appointment and asked him to take a look at my shoulder and ribs. Since I was in a lot of pain in a very localized area on top of my shoulder, I was sent off for some xrays to rule out a fracture. There are no fractures, but my collarbone is a bit out of place because I apparently have torn/damaged the acromioclavicular and coracoclavicular ligaments that hold the collarbone in place.
The treatment for this is rest and ice and no biking or ultimate frisbee for a least a couple weeks. Sad.
