busy, oh so busy.

we have spent the last 2 days completely cleaning out the building i work in. we shut down our program for two weeks in the summer to make up for the holidays that we work during the year, but before we close completely, we clean the entire building from top to bottom, and i must say, i am exhausted. what makes this process more difficult is the rest of the busyness that is my life. i have been trying to pack and move all my belongings out of my current habitation and then clean it, so it's not a complete disaster for the new volunteers moving in, in about a week. then having to come to terms and cope with the staffing changes we are experiencing has been difficult. three of the people i work with will not be returning in the fall, 2 of them being the other volunteers that started with me, and i must say, they have been brilliant and i will dearly miss them both. so needless to say i've been very busy and preoccupied with a lot the past week, but the silver lining is i will be home in california in less than 2 days, spending time with so many wonderful folks that i have missed terribly. can't wait to see your faces!
