Down to the Wire

Wow, it’s the last week already.  That went way too fast, time really did fly these past 3 weeks, now that I’m on my fourth.  Well, today was a little strange in that the job was to repair a piece of cabinetry which had undergone steam damage.  Well, I have NO experience in wood beyond possessing the capability to hammer a nail.  So I ended up helping out with the heavy lifting and cutting into the sheetrock.  Thankfully, the house that we were working in was air conditioned and quite pleasant.  But, there did come a point where Charlie pointed out that from then on that he’d be doing finagaling (is there a correct spelling for that?) for the rest of the day, and although he invited me to stay, he said that it probably wouldn’t be very interesting.  Now I know I’ve said that I would take whatever I could get, I recognized that if I sat and watched, I would learn NOTHING, since my knowledge of what he was actually accomplishing was so far out of my scope.  So I took the opportunity to visit the high school and say hi to friends.

Other things have occurred, such as getting much better at making leaves and spreading material in general, which was a major problem of mine.  Well, tomorrow will be hellish since it’s supposed to be hotter than today.  Oy veysmir…
