The beginning:

  1. Wake with a headache and muscle aches
  2. How too hot and needs air conditioning which hasn’t been serviced and requires condensation to be pumped out with shop vac
  3. Go upstairs to find a dog has walked out her poop spreading it all over the living room floor

The rest of the day:

  1. Document the pinewood derby workshop
  2. Meet with fellow scout leader to discuss the pinewood derby
  3. Plan a scout meeting including picking up supplies
  4. Do the scout meeting
  5. Work on a client’s project

Things that need to happen but won’t today:

I’m going back to sleep…

Facebook has stolen far too much of my attention of late. I have neglected blogging in favor of a quick quip, repost, or flippant comment on Facebook. I want to return to more regular blogging.

These past several weeks have been busy but glorious. We’ve camped at the Cumberland Gap, Fort Loudon, and Elkmont. We’ve worked hard, struggled, and been rewarded. We’ve done garage archaeology and started to finally do things to the house that we’ve wanted to do for over a decade. I hope this trend continues!

Today is Saturday, December 12, 2015. My todo list is: financial planning, washing machine repair, Christmas preparation and shopping, computer programming, scout planning, and home repair.
