Goldenrod and Ironweed

Once upon a time, When women were birds, There was the simple understanding That to sing at dawn And to sing at dusk Was to heal the world through joy. The birds still remember what we have forgotten, That the world is meant to be celebrated. -Terry Tempest Williams, When Women Were Birds - INFJ. Water from Crater Lake. Air from your lungs. -

Lightning hit the big tree I’ve always been scared will fall on our house. It didn’t fall, thankfully, but it did have to be taken down. We are very sad. Arriving down the road to our house is a whole different feel too. It looks weird.

The lightning also jumped from the tree to our HVAC, and blew the Internet modem out of the outlet, killing both. Charred outlets and transformers exploding in air handler in the basement…just be glad our house didn’t burn down? And that we weren’t home when it happened. We’d have been sitting right by the window next to the tree if that had been our WFH day this week.

It’s a good thing it’s back to cool weather right now. Easier to deal with bundling up a bit inside than sweltering.

It was time for a change, and I got a new job at a new company. Going from being so well-established and trusted in a job, knowing all the processes, systems, programs, and history, being familiar with the area and site leadership, etc….to having to learn all new ones—even in mostly the same subject matter area…is disconcerting and uncomfortable! That part will slowly pass. It’s probably good for me.

And hopefully once my nervous system settles in a bit more, I’ll feel less awkward. All my brain energy is focused on absorbing and learning and being hyper vigilant about not knowing what I don’t know about the place and dynamics among people and departments yet before I make a decision or chip in to a conversation (plus, um, all the shit happening in the world???). Eventually I’ll feel more productive and confident again, AND surely like a fairly normal human again. Because who even am I? Am I feeling this question because of how time it was to leave my last job? Or because I’ve been in another kind of stress and overdrive for a few weeks now and haven’t had much time to remember? Both? It’s probably not that serious. This is how I am…
