Well, my first month back to work was pretty good. I managed to find myself a new job and now I'm very busy. It's not a huge change - just to a different branch with the same sector of Natural Resources Canada and a move of only 1 floor. I'm also still working with a secretariat for a sub-group of the Canadian Council of Forest Ministers. However, the field of study/discussion of this group is quite different from my old group. Quite innovative, in fact, as it's the Innovation Working Group.
While, technically, I only moved down here last week (just after Thanksgiving, in fact), I had been doing things (participating in meetings) related to the work for a while before. I continue to need to think about a few of the things I was working on in the other Branch. I'm sure eventually it will all get sorted out.
On the home front, I've still got a knitting project almost finished - I've just got to add a label before November 1; I've got a machine quilting project well on its way; and I've got a design wall up in my sewing room. Here's my ongoing list:
- finish Halloween costume
- do Christmas shopping
- make Christmas card list
- write Christmas letter
- work on knitting project
- lay out tree quilt
- organize sewing room
- sort boxes in basement
- file photo/memorabilia books/files
- record and file magazines
- establish routines for new house
- empty closet in office
- fix clothes in sewing room
- exercise/bike
- look into accupuncture
- work with "coach" (H/W)
- tidy office
That should take me through the rest of October and well into November! Back to work!
