At 8:00 p.m. we've had 1.6" of rain today. The creeks are all very high, the reservoir is filling up fast, and the precip is turning to snow before midnight. They're predicting 3-6" by tomorrow.
I'll be driving the Blazer into town tomorrow morning so I'll have 4WD lest I accompany Sally into a ditch. Mustangs are notoriously bad on slippery pavement.

I had fun in class this morning and felt like it went much better than last Sunday. Was that because I spent more time in prep or just because some lessons go better than others? Dunno, but I'm going for a repeat.
We've just started the book of Proverbs and I'm doing some different things for this very unique book.

As I type this I'm waiting for the walnut squares to cool so I can make and put on the frosting. These are for Faith to make up for the FAIL version I made a week ago that I never took to her.
Bonus: I was out in the kitchen working while Pam watched the Oscars so I missed almost all of it!

I won't have any. I didn't stick strictly to my "one cheat per week" routine last week and gained a pound. I didn't go crazy with desserts but I did have a cookie at church Sunday and another at small group Monday night. And I ate extra food stuff a couple of times through the week. We did our usual pizza date but also ate at Carl's Jr. Friday night because we were in town running errands and needed some high speed internet. Then I had some pasta at the staff party last night.
I actually think the weight gain has more to do with the fact I missed the gym four days because I needed the time to work on Sally and then had extra meetings at work. So this week I'll go every day and add in more cardio. Yeah, burpees. (ugh)

I'm still trying to find a rhythm at work. I'm not sure what it is - can't put my finger on it - but it just doesn't feel...right in some way. Maybe it's that this role is so much different than what I had for 42 years. I'm also part of a relatively big team of staff members, most of whom are 40 years my juniors and therefore from a different culture. Sometimes I feel out of place. I also don't know if I'm doing what they want in the way they want. (That was never an issue before because I was the CEO, COO, and PD (Primary Doofus)).
I've decided that this week I'm going to put all of that out of my mind and just focus on my areas of responsibility. No thinking about any dynamics related to the big picture, just hunker down and do my pieces of the puzzle. I don't want to be a hermit 'cause that can easily look snooty or worse. I'll be social, but my focus will be on tasks and doing them as well as I can.

And if I have spare time I'm going to start working on my content for the August trip to Brazil. I'm eager for that trip and being with those people again.
