About 5 months ago I jumped in to a whole new work adventure. It has been great fun and a whole new world of learning for me to grasp and incorporate in to my day to day assignments. It is another young, fast growing company - I seem to like those. Everyone loves being there - can't help but like going in to that world every day.
About the same time I started the new work my car also decided it was time to challenge me as well. Together we went on a 3 month adventure that made me get agile on the transit network in the Twin Cities. I spent much more time on buses, trains, loaners and with friends than in my vehicle. Based on the time and money it appears to be mostly a new car - at least from the inside. Off to Colorado soon...you may hear from Mom and me if we are sitting on the side of the road near Ogallala Nebraska.
And to add one more piece of chaos to the mix, I have always wanted new curbs in front of my house. They were pretty much eroded and worn out when I moved in 22 years ago. I was all excited that project came to be in 2010. Unfortunately with state funding issues etc, yes they were going on before the shutdown, it got started late so we had chaos from August to November in 2010. And then off to the races again starting in mid-April. It has been a mess. One weekend, with the street all torn out, and lots and lots of rain we had cars coming home late on Saturday night and just sinking right in to the axel - what fun!
At last I think I can see the end of the road project as well. We have one layer of asphalt down! It may end before Thanksgiving.
But recently the sun has been out and we have been riding on Saturday morning - one regular and consistent activity in a year of many many things up for grabs.
