smokingbootProper trauma therapy started. Ugh.
I had some after the attack, but with the exception of the excellent Victim Support it wasn't particularly far reaching. The attack just broke a lid on old nasty stuff I've normalised so hey. Bit horrendous though.
I am in danger of over-committing to projects and I just have to be realistic about what I can do.
1)The water restoration project. This is pretty much on my doorstep, the local nature reserve with burns and bog running through it; it's been a godsend during lockdown, has funding and brings together SEPA, West Lothian Council, Forth Fisheries Trust and the local community to improve the water course. I've filled in the survey, gone to the meeting, and honestly suspect the rest of my involvement will be mainly litter picking or helping fish shopping trolleys out of the water. That's fine with me.
2)The Old Dreadnought Hotel; a poor old Victorian building in the middle of town left to rot, its owners mysteriously disappeared. It may be too far gone to save, but if it can be done, someone is suggesting that it be turned into a refuge for women fleeing from domestic violence. I am up for this but have no idea what I can do. First we have to find these owners.
3) The local 'Save the Hills' project, which is in its infancy, and covers everything from biodiversity to access and culture. The writing and research bit seems to have been bagsied by someone else, though I dare say these things will be team efforts. The leader is asking me if I would like to run the 'culture' portfolio. Because the project is so young, this could mean a lot or a little, I have no clue. So I don't know.
4) It really does feel like time to join the Scottish Greens.
Right now my editing has turned into an exercise in over-thinking. The new rule must be never to edit more than one chapter at a time, and if it takes three days then so be it.
