Friday reflection – A little calm finally comes! 9/20/24

I hope everyone is doing okay. After a long and drawn out situation of spending on a project that had not budget, with a debt, and conversations we have a plan and submitted a settlement letter and dollar amount to the sponsor. The sponsor accepted the scope of work and research completed so now we have to try and attempt to get paid for the completed work that investigator #5 should be reimbursed for from the sponsor.

My mental peace is beginning to return. I have a bad headache behind all this work because this project took a toll on me. I had to stop reviewing and analyzing and not have any other doubt on the final number. I gave it my best shot, did plenty of research, and let it go. I am taking it easy today. I have the best person and best friend cheering me on. She was committed and listened to each complaint of mine through all this.

I’m used to the chaos, but the jealousy that now follows me is indescribable. I don’t feel good about this, but I’m going to savor in my victory for now. I was also asked to join a committee, and it didn’t sit well with the supervisor. I don’t know if she wanted my spot or was surprised to find out? There is a lot of spotlights on me, and she is not liking it. I’d rather she stays away from me; I hope for no retaliation against me. I’m still trying to find my quiet space and time to balance after this storm. This week was a hot mess. I had lunch with my best friend and I’m grateful to her for showing up when she didn’t have to. It was the best gesture on her part. The week ended going home leaving this storm behind when I started my car at 3:30pm and I drove out of the parking lot.

I hope this is the end of another agonizing and frustrating drama that almost broke me. I am a professional and they see that I am a person of action, routine, stability, confidence, and candidness. God is great and allowed me to maintain my focus no matter the difficulties. All the Best!
