I had a really wonderful day.. I know because my hands are all cut up and burned. I got really tired of work yesterday.. really, really tired.. so I decided to cut work to day and take an unplanned vacation. I spent it working with my hands .. that’s what grounds me.. it’s concrete.. it’s immediate.. I’m not that great at it, bur it’s what I love I spent the entire day at Homers working on a project,, We cut, sanded, bent, burned, melted, soldered. for about 8 hours.. I love working with him.. he’s got such a great intuitive understanding of mechanics and materials It’s a pleasure to watch him work.. I always learn something. It’s so fun working with someone who has perfectly complimentary skills. It’s why I love workign with my brother.. or Mike from The Colony.. Together we make a whole person.
Hmmm. again.. fun days don’t always make for the most interesting blog posts.. I hope you guys forgive me for being happy..
Just that.. a perfect day.. I managed to work all day.. and still relax.. Work activity is pretty slow this week as most folks are off.. I still am behind, but I managed to adjust my expectation on what I expect to get done this week. My victory was to get my email down below a page.. I caught up on correspondence.. and even managed to write some code.. albeit faulty code.. Diane and I took the dogs for a run.. we came back across the Huntington river.. and saw just how low the water had gotten. The storms of the past several weeks have moved the river several yards closer to our house.. .. we’re still a hundred or so yards away.. but it makes you think how rivers really can move over thousands of years . The rest of my day mixed work calls and email with eating fresh strawberries and raspberries form the garden.. and talking to the many kids that floated in and out of the house at various parts of the day.
Now were heading to On The Rise to see friend Jen’s hook rug display.. .. nice..
OK. I think that;s it for the day .. sorry if blissfull days make for boring posts 🙂
arghhhh. my intention was to use this week while everyone is on vacation as a time to catch up and maybe even get ahead at work. somehow my intention didn’t make it even to the afternoon. I spent about 9 hours today just trying to catch up on my email backlog from being out Friday and Monday. it may have been a vacation here but not in the rest of the world. its 9pm and I still can’t get down below two pages of email.
tomoorow I’m going to try and start from a list so I dont end up being slave to my email.
ok… I’m. beat. more tomorrow
