Hey Family! Its Time for an Update! Jan. 7 2010

Everybody knows I'm not the best at communication. I was going to end the blod pot at that, but I'm trying therapy of writing...

Just not really my thing, not saying I have a problem working well with others, everybody happens to adore me. or so my ego likes to think :) I just cannot maintain the best lines of communication. However, Suzanna is a wonderful communicator with a Bachelor's in IPC, so what was I getting at?

Anyway getting to the point of the matter, I feel as though sometimes I am being carried by a wave, life, and I'm surfing the ride trying to stay on afraid to fall and ruin the ride, but what I just realized is that YOU HAVE TO FALL. So that you can ride the next wave. And I've never surfed, which is funny that I used that as a metaphor. But I'm sure you can all imagine what it would be like to surf, it's gotta be scary shit. Anyway, when you fall it's scary cause your under water and you have lost your bearings and you can't breathe and your scared, but than eventually there is only one way but UP. saddle up and go after another wave.

1) This is the last semester for my Associate's in Applied Business

Still trying to grasp the Applied part, but I'm getting better.

"A person's mind, once stretched by a new idea, never regains original dimensions."

2) Work is really slow. More reason to start applying my business.

3) Dad's House Update on projects

  • Subfloor almost complete in the office. Sturdy, new floorboards. Does the trick. carpet to be installed at dad's leisure.
  •  We need to build a wood porch in the front, cover up the cracked cement., by next week.
  • Windows should be arriving 4 weeks, maybe sooner.
  • Kitchen floor to be installed in two weeks time
  • Need to replace the old thermostat with a digital one, looking in Nate's direction, he's done this.
  • Also, Dad needs to seriously pack the rest of his stuff, Nate also looking in your direction to give him a boost of confidence for this...
  • Alot of other smaller things. Oh, and bug bomb again for spiders and other creepy subcutaneous creatures, after the new windows are in.
  • Floor in living room needs work on the sub floor before we install laminate wood, patch and level, maybe 1/4 inch ply to level out.
  • Oh, and hand railings at the front and side porches.
Anyway, got some paperwork and filing that needs to be done, and preparing for school.


Love you guys,

Eric

Your wave analogy-- LOVE it and it's so true. about the falling off, being under water, losing your bearings, etc, but you do eventually resurface for air again.
think you should continue with the schooling and get your bachelors when you can. :)
Writing is very therapeutic and I have to do more of it myself. helps get the thoughts in line for certain.

love you buddy
