Volunteering trifecta this weekend. Honk volunteering has been super chill, and after hanging with Colin in the CD this morning I just arrived home to catch a call from ARC. The MFU had been up near Snoqualmie pass supporting SAR personnel looking for a hiker that been trapped in an avalanche and needed to be resupplied. A collegue from MSS and I met our lead at the chapter, loaded up supples and delivered them. As simple as it was, it was nice doing something useful. Which ultimately is probably why I volunteer altogether. Once home I joined back up with Honk in Georgetown, helped out some more, and organized the exodus to Hazard Factory. Tomorrow, more Alleycat Acres work on the farm on Beacon Hill.
Colins expanding his shop and the possibility of sharing some space came up again. Although this time it’s more complicated by M. After more initial “everything will be fine” thoughts, I next felt like blowing the whole thing off. I want to wait to absorb my feelings and talk to J, but I feel responsible to drop M an email about it before it comes up. I don’t think she’d be too upset, but I don’t know she’s really come to terms with her feelings and she’s more likely to be volatile and blow them off than really not care. I feel bad about the school year not being out. We’ll see.
I ran into S again tonight. She was quite friendly, but we didn’t talk again later. I don’t know where that is, and that’s fine. M’s friend mentioned her on the bike ride back from HF, and I just laughed. Oh well.
Anyway, I guess I feel good about the volunteering. And the other stuff? Well. Still out of my control.
