Greetings Everyone,
It's been a hard week at the day job with a lot on my work plate taking so much time and effort. A storm blew through over a week ago and took down a huge oak tree near the end of our street blocking the entrance to the subdivision where I live. A neighbor got some firewood from it and I'm trying to make time to go up there and cut the rest for firewood for myself. I just haven't had time. I just came off oncall duty for the day job and I'm glad it's over for this week.
Tonight is my first class for Financial Peace University as The LOML and I along with a few friends are going to tackle the job of getting ourselves out of debt. Too bad I didn't know this stuff or have the financial discipline to do this stuff way before now. Nobody taught me about money when I was growing up and I was so busy working as a teen that all I knew is that I had to make my way in life. With "you'll never amount to anything" being held over my head as a child, I've fought all my life trying to prove to them (and myself) that I am much more than "nothing" to me, my family, and my community. Oh the things we wrestle with from our childhood days.
Well, it's off to work for me...I appreciate every one of you and thank you all for being a part of my life. Each of you add meaning to my life and help add more to my knowledge and skill of woodworking.
That's it for me, so what did YOU do this past week?
Best of weeks to you all.
