A different kind of Sunday

Good Morning and Happy Sunday! The day is already bright and sunny, and I am far too awake with it as well. Normally Sundays are my pajama day however I am already washed, dressed and primped to be at the Weave Together event later today. There are people to meet and greet, and looms to prepare. What did we do this week? Amanda is still having a delightful time with one of her team members on the capstone project. Nothing says 'I don't care' like missing a meeting with the professor to discuss your lack of participation. If they were truly using this as a real world simulation, the kid would be fired. I guess we'll see what the professors...

All the things

Good Morning and Happy Sunday! Mother Nature is pulling her tricks again to remind everyone that it is still February and should be considered winter here. The week's weather was wonderful until Friday when she decided to send us another storm. The trickster in her got it started with mist that looked like water but was ice instead. Nothing like stepping out your back door to go somewhere and banana split falling on the steps! Thankfully I didn't break anything except for my water bottle. It should come as no surprise that it's going to be in the sixties by Tuesday. What did we do this week? Yet another presentation for Amanda and her team in capstone. She also had...

Self-care

Good Morning and Happy Sunday! A bit chilly today as Mother Nature decided to remind us that it is February, and we are supposed to have snow. It wasn't much, only a couple of inches to cover everything and the roads are already clear. Just so long as we don't have a big storm to start Spring Break, I'll be fine. What did we do this week? Amanda had a busy one with work on the capstone project, RA meeting, two exams and duty over the weekend. Group projects have always given her fits and the capstone is no exception. This is the class she has been waiting four years for and has a member of her team that is...

Habits

Good Morning and Happy Sunday! Bit of a different view out the window today with the taste of winter that came through yesterday. A good amount of rain that teased at being snow graced the Fort. The groundhog says that spring is coming early this year. I would appreciate it being a wet and rainy one as we could do with some moisture. What did we do this week? For Amanda, the week felt like an eternity especially with a group presentation in her capstone class. Group things are difficult enough and then when a member does not step up to do his part, it can be even worse. Thankfully the professors see the situation considering they have several more...

Just happy

Good Morning and Happy Sunday! Quiet so far this morning with a soft pastel sunrise out my front window. The forecast says it is going to be almost sixty degrees today! Far too warm for January and I hope it doesn't mean a massive snowstorm will be coming over spring break.  What were we up to this week? It may sound boring to say more of the same, yet routine can be a good thing. Amanda went on a manufacturing field trip to see how water valves are made. They saw the process for different sizes ranging from two inches in diameter to these giant ones that are forty inches across! I think she is enjoying her semester so far....
