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.

Saturday: swimming

Well, Ben and I did end up going swimming this afternoon. For a little bit I thought we were just going to skip it, but in the end I'm glad we went. It was a nice pool and it was nice to cool off. I'm debating going over there a few mornings during the week. Still debating though, we'll see what happens.

Besides that and a few chores, a pretty restful day.

Friday: yay Friday

Today went pretty well. A few small problems, but oh well. The end of my "little project" is very close and I've even started moving onto the next project a bit.

Ben went on a guy's night out so I decided to stay home, order pizza, and watch a movie. Actually, it was kind of the other way around. I could have gone with Ben, but since I decided to stay home it is a guys night out. The pizza was really slow. It is a good thing that I had a snack before ordering or else I may have gone crazy due to hunger.

It is pretty warm here tonight, but just starting to cool off outside so I have all the fans running trying to cool off the inside of the house before hot tomorrow rolls around. Actually, I don't know that it will be hot but that's what I'm assuming. I'm trying to convince Ben to go to the local pool with me, but it might depend on how motivated we end up being.

thursday: sigh.

Well, today didn't go as well as I was hoping. I goofed something up in the morning and just felt bad about it. Nothing I could do about it though except learn from it. Still felt like an idiot.

We also won't be able to finish the project tomorrow. Reason 1) we are still missing one part. Reason 2) some things that I was hoping would go quickly today didn't. The new goal is Monday. At least we're changing the estimate by days instead of weeks now.

Oh, yesterday was our one year anniversary of working at Lockheed.

I'm raiding tonight but am not really sure I want to. Last week was fun, so maybe I'll be surprised.

Wednesday: Travis

Travis stopped by tonight. That was nice. We didn't do anything special, but a I hear a lot of laughter coming from the basement at one point.

I'm still optimistic that my project will finish on time. We'll see how today goes. :)

Tuesday: bonfire

Today I went to a bonfire with people from Bible Study. We've skipped the last two weeks so it was fun to see people again. The best part was when the girls were talking by a swing (away from the fire) and Stephanie threw a flip-flop. The other three girls all jumped back while still trying to keep their drinks from spilling. The expressions were priceless.

I'm still hopeful of finishing my work project on time. I didn't get quite as far today as I was hoping, but we still got far enough that it is still possible. It was actually an amazingly smooth day for once. One tooling issue from yesterday magically resolved itself and the problem with the drawing was an "easy fix." Hopefully tomorrow goes as well!
