Spaghetti at 11 p.m.
Jun. 13th, 2006 10:55 pmCame back from the last of this church year's UU Board of Trustees meetings and I am now eating dinner. We said thanks and goodbye to the outgoing treasurer, gave him a gift, and privately (in many of our minds) said thank you to whatever higher power(s) we do or do not believe in that he is gone. Lovely guy with a lovely heart, but growing more confused as time passes. He is a personal friend of mine, but he is increasingly forgetful, and/or selectively (as a few think) forgets things that have been decided by the Board when he wants his own way, and then uses this to try to make the Board revisit them. Consulting the minutes (which I am sure some of you will suggest) is one thing, but not *every little detail, including word choice in the minister's fellowship document that we have to send to the denomination,* ends up in the minutes. I had to remind him (and of course, he claimed no memory of this) that we had discussed this particular language on one section *endlessly* two meetings ago. Sigh.
The incoming treasurer, ironically enough, has Asperger's syndrome (I know this from his wife), and I also know from experience that he has some social skills issues that are part of this. But he has been treasurer before, was excellent, and will be easier to work with than my dear friend.
Tomorrow I have a long visit with the radiation oncologist's office again, to get a CAT scan and tattoos that will be used to focus the radiation therapy on my breast with great precision.
The outgoing president of the UU Board is very familiar with what is involved with breast cancer radiation therapy -- not that she's had it herself, but because of friends who have had it (and she has done a lot of fundraising for breast cancer). She told me the tiny tattoos are in blue ink.
Hmm, I am returning to my Celtic roots, I guess. Blue woad.
