Quick Turnaround

Ann is finishing her final trip with Wilderness Inquiry today and will get home late tonight. She was accepted for a volunteer position at Amate House and is leaving for Chicago early tomorrow morning. If we blink we might miss her. Amate House is a volunteer program for the Archdiocese of Chicago. Ann will live in a community house in the neighborhood where she will serve. She interviewed and was accepted to work with an organization called Girls in the Game. They provide and promote sports and fitness opportunities, nutrition and health education and leadership development to enhance the overall health and well being of girls across the city of Chicago. Ann will have opportunities to visit schools, coach activities and help to recruit and train volunteers. It is a year-long commitment so there will be some travel between Minneapolis and Chicago for us in the coming year. Coincidentally, I have a business trip to Chicago the 23rd of this month.

I’m feeling well but sad that Ann is leaving. I am starting to feel more “normal” earlier and earlier after each cycle. I have about a week to go before I start the 5th cycle.
