It’s amazing how tired you can become by just sitting. It’s 5:30 on Sunday afternoon (and since I’m still on California time, it’s only 2:30 in my world), and I’m exhausted. Granted, I got up at 5:30 (again, in my world) and sat and sat and sat all day. Part was meetings, part was lunch, and part was just brain-storming. But wow, I can’t remember the last time I was this tired. During the brain storming session, I was almost nodding off, and it’s not like these are quiet people! But now we’ve got a break for an hour, and if I try and nap, I’ll just be more cranky later.

In other news, I quit my position on the board today. The May board meeting is the last meeting I’ll be an officer for. I feel a bit relieved to be giving this up, despite how much I love the people here. But I determined last night, after thinking about yesterday’s post, that it’s the people I like more than the organization’s views. (Obviously there are certain people that I like more than others.) I don’t disagree with the views, and the purpose, and the direction at all. I just find I’m lacking the commitment, caring, and drive to continue being a board member. It’s better for the organization if I step down, and my position is filled by someone who’s willing to commit to the responsibilities at hand. And this way I can direct my energy into something that interests me. (Don’t ask what that might be, because I sure don’t have a clue yet.) I’ll continue to participate in the yearly conference, because it’s mainly a social event for me. But I’m taking an extended break from being a leader. I’ll come back when it’s more than just a social event for me.

So, anyone have an idea of what I can do in my spare time? Besides writing blogs no one will care about?
