It's been an interesting day here in the convent. It's been Associates day, and now I really am outing myself in relation to the community on the internet. The website was mentioned to the associates who are got to look at it and some comments may follow from one or two of them, which will be appreciated. It means that soon all you lovely folk will be able to see it. I desperately need to make a few corrections to it.
It's actually been a really nice day despite the fact that I'm so, so tired now. I was worried about today as there were going to be a few more people than normal, like about 4 times the usual number and so I wasn't sure how I was going to survive. I did fine apparently and the associates are a really lovely bunch who really seem to have a great deal of affection for the Sisters and that's brilliant.
I did end up being asked to talk to everyone after receiving no warning but it was okay and I survived that too. Apparently it was good so that was okay.
It's really kind of worrying that I have so little time left here and it will be such a shock to the system not being here but I'm also not sure I can do it permanently. I'll think about that nearer the time.
It's been a good week actually. I've been able to spend more time in the house this week and have been feeling more spiritual too, and I haven't even been drinking. Much. Work want to keep me for a while, counselling went well, today went well, I read yesterday at the Eucharist and that, too, went well.
I'm still appreciating my new crockery and feel sorry for all my housemates, sisters and others, who have had this stuff presented to them with a great deal of pride. Mum wasn't so impressed though, although it doesn't matter.
I applied for 6 jobs last week too, and requested information for a number of flats. I'm actually doing pro-active things which is something of a shock to the system.
Anyway, 20-something minutes til supper and I need to collect some thoughts. Don't know where from but...
