Monday: not much new

Well, not much new happened today. I realize I haven't posted a picture lately either, but there haven't been many good picture taking opportunities. So...

hi.

Monday: Pep talk II

Today we all need to be like trees. Magestic, enduring, and huggable. Trees are able to bend in storms but still remain intact. Just like trees, we need to grow a little bit with each attempt that we make. We must strive to not become firewood. Tonight, trees will not be scared of the shadows..no! We make shadows. We will overcome the shadows.

Saturday: Strawberry festival

Today Ben and I went to the Owego Strawberry festival. It sadly didn't have many strawberries and did have a lot of people. It seemed to be more of a reason to have a bunch of craft vendors on the streets than to celebrate strawberries. But, we did have some strawberry shortcake and some chocolate-covered strawberries so not all was lost. Also, even though it was busy they did a good job with traffic control and shuttling people, so that was nice.

Friday: tools

Yesterday I learned about my new favorite tool...an automatic zip-tie puller-to-the-right-tension and smooth-cutter. It was amazing.

Ben is trying to fix his computer. It is frustrating, as normal. :( It doesn't help that I haven't unpacked some of the rarely used boxes yet.

Tuesday: one thing

Today I was running around like a chicken with its head cut off. At one point I was convinced that I had lost a part. This meant looking stupid in front of a bunch of people, but not really anything else. I told God I needed one things to go right, and then wondered at myself because several things were going right...it was just that the things that were going wrong were going wrong. Anyway, it turns out that the things I thought I was missing hadn't even been received yet. This totally brightened my day and even helped today. I guess I got my one thing from God. :)

Monday: Work

I'm trying to teach myself that a stressful day doesn't equate to a bad day. I'm also trying to leave work at work for the night.

I'm going to be helping out on another project (MH-60) while someone takes maternity leave. I'm excited that I can talk about this one a bit more, but the program is much more stable so there might not be much to talk about.
