chilly in Africa?

We are right in the middle of "dry season" in Angola.  Dry season is winter here, so it's usually overcast in the morning and lately it's actually been pretty chilly!  When I say chilly, I mean mid-upper 70's so it's actually a really refreshing change.  Things will slowly start to heat back up, and we will be smack dab in the 100% humidity days shortly.    

We usually have bootcamp up on the basketball court every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday around 6pm with a group of folks - anywhere from 3-23ish.  There are a few pretty regular leaders, all of which left last week.  So Monday rolled around and I had a few different people come into my office asking if we were going to have bootcamp.  I've led a few times in the past, so I figured I'd go ahead and lead until a fresh round of folks came in on Thursday.  Meaning I only had to step up for 2 sessions.  To say that I was a failure is an understatement.  Monday I got back from the platform around 5:15, went and put on my workout clothes, came back to my computer and realized there was NO WAY I had the motivation to walk downstairs to dinner, much less lead bootcamp.  So about 6:15 3 guys came down to my office telling me they had been waiting upstairs for me to come up an lead.  Naturally, the combination of me being tired and hungry made for quite a sassy response - something along the lines of "you're big boys, you can lead your own bootcamp!!"  Luckily, everyone thinks I'm joking when I get sassy, so they just giggled and walked away.  The good news is that we had 3 people come in between Tuesday and Thursday who are fresh and willing to lead.  So now I can assume my position of participant rather than leader...    

I'm also officially in the single digits of my 42-day rotation!  I definitely have that 'so much to do, so little time' feeling.  My back-to-back won't be able to come in to cover for the two weeks I'm gone, so I've been trying to divide up my role between a few different people.  In the process, I've realized that I've become quite the control freak.  There's a good chance that I've always had control issues (poor Chad can probably attest to that), but I'm just now realizing it.  Is it so much to ask that I want everything done my way?!?  I'm sure that in the coming days, the closer I get to vacation, the less I will care - at least that's what I'm hoping for!

33 days down, 9 to go!  xoxo...
