Running on the Beach
I'm not sure how these will show up, but the horses through the fog on the beach on Saturday were just magical. (Why is fog *always* magical, except when you're driving in it?)
I'm wishing I were riding my horse on the beach -- and I don't even particularly like horses. Was just doing inventory of the projects on my plate right now.
- two BIG multi-month programs to do development work with teams and groups in two different hospitals, just starting, with D
- one BIG multi-month program on my own, in a different hospital, in partnership with a client
- 2 papers I have to lead the writing on that we've all ignored for MONTHS about work we did last year; in a group that can never get its shit together (unpaid, the joy is in the publishing)
- a course we're developing that is still in an ambiguous state; paid lower-than-usual rate
- possibility of a research project with a university out west that won't pay me nearly enough but will be a grand networking thing
- trying to develop a grant proposal and attract funding in collaboration with someone from new england that I have to basically develop from scratch, including finding a research site, preferrably in seattle
- one day thing that I'm getting paid very little for that I agreed to do as a favour and which is taking up WAY too much of my time, scheduled for friday
- another 2 possible grants to develop also related to the health care work; development is unpaid;
- overseeing the implementation of a multi-site coordinated care project that we got a grant for months ago, in one of the previously mentioned hospitals
Hm. I think that's it. Why does it seem so overwhelming?
Oh yeah, the orphans. Might go to Uganda in November.
Where's my horse?
