I should add that these were TWO separate projects that required the spreadsheets and the documents!! One for work and one for school. I can't escape!

Rose and Thorn

Today Rani told me about an activity she does at her mentoring program called, Rose and Thorn. You list the best thing and the worst thing that happened to you all week. I'm going to try this, but condense it down to just today, because my brain is a little shot and I can't think back that far.

Today I spent nearly every waking hour typing data in an Excel spreadsheet and then transferring it over to a Word document into sentence form. I'm only awake right now because I just finished for the night. Oh, I guess except for the hours I spent in meetings today.
That was the thorn.

The rose is that I had some awesome guacamole with the freshest chips at lunch AND I got an awesome e-mail from a very old friend. We've been friends for 19 years. We'll have to celebrate our 20th anniversary some how :-)

Now I'm going to go to bed so I can get up in the morning and go back to entering data in spreadsheets and transferring it back to documents. This will last until next Tuesday, except for when I take a break to go a funeral. I'm crossing my fingers that I can hold onto my sanity.


P.S. you should try the rose and thorn thing too.

That makes six.

My great uncle Gwynne passed away today.  This was not especially sudden and I believe he was around 90 years old, but it's still sad and makes my heart ache.  What a brilliant and yet sweet man -- like another grandpa to me.

Going down to Maryland on Friday I guess.  It will be nice to see all of my cousins, and my great Aunt Helen.
I wonder if it will be believable at work that I need off for another funeral within a few weeks. :(
