Another first

It's gay week in my world, I guess. Today I talked about care in the coming out process with the introductory pastoral care class at the seminary. I was nervous about doing it, because, well, it's the first time I've done that. It's also the first time in a long time that I've taught anything in my field, so naturally I worried about it far more than I should have and probably increased the anxiety level of a few others in the process, and while I regret that a little, I doubt I could have gotten through this the first time without that level of anxiety.

Now, I'm off on a trip for awhile and the crisis of the evening is figuring out what to do about a cat sitter, since the one I had lined can't do it. Aargh!
