Weekend: weekendish

Oh, lots of things and not much happened this weekend. :) We meet our neighbors down the hill from us a little bit more and chatted with them for quite a while. We cleaned/organized the basement so it looks a lot better. We ordered a toolbox/workbench thing. I didn't come close to finishing all my chores.

Friday: donuts

Today I'm claiming victory for my work project. There's actually one more paint layer that needs to go on though, so I'm going to claim victory on Monday too.

This evening we made donuts!! You take biscuits, flatten them and put a hole in, and then butter and sugar them. So they end up tasting like biscuits with sugar, which is pretty close to donuts.

Thursday: questions

I was checking my old journals a few days ago and came across an excersise where you have to write 100 questions. About 1/4 of them had been answered, and they were fun so I thought I'd do it again.

1) Will I ever get to <10 e-mails in an inbox?
2) How long will I continue to play WoW?
3) Will I finish my sub-project tomorrow?
4) How long will it take for our extra-thick dirt to stop feeling squishy?
5) Where does Flurry sleep at night when she doesn't join us?
6) What does Flurry do during the day when we aren't at home?
7) How am I going to get to 100 questions?
8) Will I ever finish all the chores I want to finish in a given weekend?
9) What will our next piece of furniture be?
10) Will I ever have regular and meaningful devotions?
11) When will I get promoted?
12) When will we have kids?
13) How many books have I read so far in my life?
14) What it be like to be a moon-settler?
15) Who invented the donut?
16) Why do I like donuts so much?
17) What will my biggest complaint be when I'm old?
18) How will I die?
19) What do people think when they see me coming down the hall?
20) What will heaven be like?
21) Where will I live in ten years?
22) What would I do if Ben died?
23) Would I be able to be optimistic with a life-threatening illness?
24) What does God want me to be doing differently?
25) Will flying cars ever be a reality?
26) Will I ever fly in a helicopter?
27) Would I rather be a person and have to work or a bird and get to fly but also not have a food pantry?
28) Will I ever work-out on a regular basis?
29) Why does Flurry make such weird noises?
30) When will the United States fall?
31) Why can't I retain information often?
32) What would be the best hair style on me?
33) Will we manage to write "Active Peris: 10 years later?"
34) How much of my time do I spend worrying about things that don't matter?

I decided to do it in more than one sitting. More to follow.

Wednesday: almost

Well, I'm almost done with one aircraft. I've been saying all week that I'm hopeful the next day will prove to be "the last day." But tomorrow I'm fairly sure of it. Hehe. We'll see what actually happens.

I was taking a nap and got a terrible leg cramp. It woke me up instantly and I instantly knew what was going on even though I couldn't open my eyes because I was still sleepy. I don't think I've ever had one that bad before.

Tuesday: ultimate

We played ultimate frisbee with our bible study tonight. It was a lot of fun although very hot. I once again found out how bad of shape I'm in.

Monday: It was a Monday

Oh, how I didn't want to go to work today. I just didn't have a good feeling about it. While nothing went wrong per se, I still didn't finish this project. One A/C will hopefully finish tomorrow though, so I'm a bit more optimistic about tomorrow.

I did get a break in the middle of work to go visit the GI doctor though. He said there are two schools of thought on when to get your first colonoscopy if colon cancer is in the family. Ten years before the age the first person was diagnosed and twenty/twenty-five years. This doctor seemed to be of the second set, especially since Mom got it pretty young. And while he doesn't think anything will be wrong, he also wanted a baseline. So Oct 20 I have my first (of hopefully many) colonoscopy.

Flurry was really cute this morning. We had four chickadees on the porch. Flurry was stalking them. But then one got too close and she wasn't ready yet so she quickly walked backwards around the corner. Maybe you needed to be there...
Here is Ben playing with Flurry. Flurry is pretending to be a hat. Poor Flurry. She has to put up with so much.

Sunday: love

How do I know Ben loves me? He got me two donuts this weekend. Yum.
