Well, at least the weather looks good. And it will be fun, the Instructor Development Workshop. It will...
I am feeling a little stressed out/depressed about the class, though. All of my Facebook friends know the situation because I've been whining about it on a regular basis over there. Basically, late Winter/early Spring is budget season at work. The last time Sebago did an IDW, I couldn't do it because it overlapped with the presentation prep time. This time, the timing was actually perfect - our presentation was on the 14th, I think it was, we had the week before slated for building the deck, and then there were going to be 2 weeks where things were back to normal and I was going to have evenings free to prepare.
Well, that all changed, the presentation is today, there have been intense 12-hour days for all and I am just mentally wiped out.
I do mostly have my stuff together. I've been paddling all winter & so my kit is all reasonably well organized in little bags that pack in a big bag & then transfer to my day hatch. I was able to make it to West Marine yesterday for a few sundries that TQ & I needed or wanted.
I got a little Facebook fun out of that trip - yesterday's status:
How to make your sailing friends jealous:
OH MY GOSH! I just went to West Marine and I spent SEVENTY DOLLARS! Can you BELIEVE I spent that much money in ONE TRIP???
I'd left a key item at the club (lightweight hood with noseclip) when I did my big Spring boat cleaning on Sunday. Fortunately it was found by a clubmate who left it in the clubhouse for me, but that was an important enough for cold-water immersion work that I would run over to New York Kayak today to get one (Randy had told me he had the right ones in stock) if I hadn't had mine in hand by last night, but TQ was my knight in shining Taurus and ran me out to the club to pick it up.
There are a couple more items that the EMS (Eastern Mountain Supply) store across the street should be able to cover for me.
But man, I'm just rattled right now, and very nervous about jumping from the mental intensity of preparing the budget to the physical and mental intensity of the first 3 days of this 6-day process without one single day to sort of catch up with myself. I do have hopes of an early "pau hana time" today - 3-ish would be awesome but I really, really wish there were 48 hours between the start of the budget presentation and the start of the class, instead of 24. I'll do my best, but...phew.
Does anyone know of a store I could go to to buy the proper frame of mind?

ps - And yes, I wasted a precious half-hour of prep time writing this. Just had to vent a bit, though. Lets off steam.

In a pinch you can make a nose clip out of a piece of coathanger wire with a pair of narrow nose pliers. For extended use I suggest plastic coated hangers so they don't rust.
