Today was quiet. It was supposed to be frantic, but all sorts of people picked up on things I was supposed to do and couldn't, so the most I did was turn up the the Plenary Session of National Council of Jewish Women and tell them what the cultural change and leadership portfolio was about and that I was taking a bit of leave of absence. It was nice seeing friendly faces around the table and I missed the social interaction with them, but it couldn't be helped: I need that time out from the volunteer side of me. So I got an hour out of the three days and spent most of the rest of the day reading Cordwainer Smith. I have lots of thoughts about him. I still adore him, but for rather different reasons to my original ones.

My lift home told me I am a good speaker, which made me feel rather nice. Now all I need to do is get the same compliments applied to my writing. Yes, I am an ambitious child.
