OK, I am now officially stressed out and sleep-deprived. I was probably asleep by midnight, but awake again by 4:30, without having slept really well in between. I'll survive!

I have a more or less finished final video, thanks to Casey's music and some old CD's of services with Karen's voice on them. There are about a hundred things that could be better on it. We will see what the committee thinks and what changes they might want. Karen wants to show it at the meeting tonight. During the few hours that I have this afternoon, I will burn it to a DVD (and make a copy for her), as well as finish the other, "free topice" video, which I am doing about energy-efficient housing.

As far as work, it was about the same. The pattern is: I look at the things in my inbox and the deadlines coming up and try to figure out what I need to do, by studying Jane's written instructions and previous examples. I do what I can and make a list of questions to ask Alison. She arrives (yesterday it was 11:30), partly answers one or two questions, talks for an hour or so about something slightly related, usually in a more big-picture way, and then it's time for me to go. She suggested that maybe I should work longer hours on fewer days. I am thinking maybe 8-12 some days and 8-3 some days, with a lunch break...

Early in the morning, the families that live at the shelter are getting up and leaving (supposedly by 9).This morning, there was a lot of noisy toddler sounds, which is fine. I could have closed my door if I had something tricky to get done. One Mom came in to complain about how cold it had been the night before and her baby woke up several times. I turned the AC off. I wonder if it was too hot last night.

A couple of hours to work on my videos before going to work...
