Thursday: batteries

Life is so much better when your keyboard batteries aren't dying. My healing ability significantly increased when every button I pushed resulted in a heal instead of every other.

Hmm, what else...I made a cool wire sculpture/finger toy today. It's yellow wire with one blue wire. The day went pretty quickly, so that was nice too. And tomorrow is only about a half day!

Wednesday: a beautiful day

Today was beautiful out. I didn't get to be outside much due to work, but the time I was outside was wonderful. It is slightly warm and the trees are starting to turn.

A WIP went on vacation today. I ran out of ideas on how to fix it so it got shelved for a while. Maybe when we come back to it later it'll magically work.

And since it was So You Think You Can Dance night, it was also quilting. I finally took a picture for Valerie. I now have everything traced out and just need to finish cutting the white and brown.

Tuesday: bonfire

Today we did a bonfire for Bible Study. It was a very nice one. Heather and Aaron showed up for a little bit, and it was nice to say hi again.

I also had a brownie and ice cream. It tasted really good, but I really didn't need to eat it. Sigh. I've been chewing more gum at work since I often feel like eating but either don't have any food or know I shouldn't be eating. The problem with gum is that after a while my jaw feels all weird and yucky. However, I have been enjoying many interesting flavors since I only like normal minty ones once in a while...something orangish (my favorite), blueberry, and melon mint. Melon mint is still pretty minty smelling so it is kept in a different location so it doesn't contaminate the other flavors. What I'd really like to do is join a gum tasting group so I could try lots of different flavors.

Monday: Hugh Henry

We got to see Hugh today! I was looking forward to it all day.

He was rather charming...and didn't cry much at all. He didn't cry at all while I was holding him which earned him a lot of bonus points in my book. He also holds his arms like I do when I sleep, so we became sleeping buddies.

We had dinner with Clay and Jess and her mom, and it was really a rather funny dinner. It started with Ben's salad dressing problems and went from there.

Weekend: big happenings

This weekend Jess and Clay had their baby...congrats! We're visiting them tomorrow and are excited.

This weekend was also the women's retreat...it was really good. The speaker was Marlyn from Central Wesylean (Aunt C, do you know her?), and she did an amazing job. It was also really nice to get to know some people better and to meet several new people.

Thursday: Indian food

1) WIPs. These are things that pneumatically strip wire. Sounds cool, right? Well, there are a lot of them and they need tending once in a while. Since I'm the newest person I get to tend to them. Sounds fun, right? I get to take them apart, put them together...that part really is fun. The problem is that I'm really rather incapable of fixing them by myself though. I think about 10-15 have needed help in the past two months and I've been able to fix one by myself. One. There are currently four waiting for my attention, but I just don't really like them.

2) We went out for Indian food tonight. It was good. We got the yummy mango drink and bread and curry. There are a lot of left overs. The tables had handrails on the sides. We were trying to figure out why, but didn't end up with a good reason.

3) The quote of yesterday: "Can you grab this [stuff I'm carrying]? I need to take out the garage."

Wednesday: white

Today I finished tracing out all of the quilt squares on the white cloth. That means I only have brown left. I didn't really enjoy brown much before because it is really dark and hard to see where the lines are.

So at work we got an upgrade to a program...I was a bit excited, because I didn't really like the old program. There are just a few problems...1) new data can only be accessed on the upgrade and 95% of the people don't have the new upgrade. 2) The upgrade interferes with adobe acrobat which in turn crashes my browser every time I try to open a file. (I can still save the file and open it though). 3) I have no idea what the upgrade changed because on my end it broke some buttons that used to work and fixed other buttons that used to be broken.

It would be rather humorous if it wasn't so annoying.
