Bruises

Work's been kinda tough lately. We've put on 2 Youth Camps and are currently preparing an Outdoor Women's Seminar this coming weekend. I generally love these kinds of outdoor events. Problem is, I have never been on the 'organization from scratch' side of the registration table. It is alot of bloody hard and complicated work! I mean, try organizing 150 women into 91 sessons, and accomodations over 4 days. And I really wish I knew what the end result was supposed to look like so I could have taylored my registration spreadsheet to keep the workload to a minimum. As a result we are scrambling, big time. It's getting done, but we're putting in some really long hours to manhandle it into something clean enough to work with. A friend recently told me that mistakes lead to wisdom. It's a nice thought. And I'll know better next time eh?

On another note. We went to a staff meeting in Calgary over the weekend. After the meeting, which was out at the Calgary AHEIA Firearms Centre, we got to do some Trap shooting. Now, I have shot both smallbore and fullbore, in competition even. I've also fired a shotgun before too, just never at a moving target. But I tell you it was bloody great! I couldn't stop grinning. I hit quite a few clay targets, missed almost as many, what a blast. I put almost 60 rounds downrange in a two hour period. So fun. Yesterday and today I've been paying the price though. It's been years since I shot anything and my shoulders(yes both) have been screaming. Apparently holding a gun in a standing shooting stance over a couple hours being repeatedly butted in the right shoulder will do a number on you. Even if you are having a good time. Yep. They've been screaming..but it's one of those sorta good hurts, like a stretchy sorness you get from working out too hard. I can't wait to go again.
