Out of Control

Both letters are in close to final form, then printing onto resume paper (which, since I'm using our department's laser printer, happens at either end of the day so fewer people will notice I'm printing job apps). Then it's giving up control for a little while and waiting until the end of August. In the meantime, I'll prep for interview questions, and a possible presentation.

Control is the operating concept for a lot of shifts lately, and was a main move toward rediscovering Christianity. Acknowledging that I don't have control over a lot of things is very liberating, and helps to make me less anxious (only a little). All I can do is the best I can and God has control over the rest. I totally admit my role in it, so it's not like "God, find me a parking space". There are choices along the way, and it's about making sure those choices are aligned with the big G. Plus, as far as the job thing goes, there are people pulling for us on either front, so the supportive energies are out there.

Another hot day today, so the plan is to stay inside as much as possible. For Seattle it's hot, for my native-Cali blood, not so much--just a solid summer day.
