​Paul was so helpful today. He picked up the test kid we needed for the re-draw of Ethan’s blood for the research study Ethan is in. 

It saved me a trip that likely would have eaten up a good hour of my day at the very least. I don’t ask for much as a wife and am very grateful when I do ask for help and Paul accepts the task without complaining. Even if he did complain….it still saved me time.

Ethan can take this kit with him the next time he gets his labs drawn. Hopefully a “clerical issue” won’t happen again and they can test this sample.

My day was busy full of talking to candidates for work. It drained my energy and I needed a recharge by 5:00 pm. A recharge consists of doing chores, thinking, spending time alone and not talking. Ideally…without noise. 

Paul got home and his ankle is all swollen due to his fall. I had him elevate and ice it for a bit. It looks pretty nasty….enough to brag about. Ouch!

Ethan is considering doing an apprenticeship to become an electrician. He feels like he is fairly good at wiring. He is trying to come up with long term sustainability for financial freedom as well as long term growth. 

My cousin shared a bunch of good information with him about the ins and outs of the career. He is thinking long term and I like that. 

He got the idea from a guy he was talking to at the Cars and Coffee event at The Little Speed Shop. 

We have a concrete pour date for the barndominium. I am bummed I will not be around for it. I guess no Jiminy prints in the concrete. I am heading to a vet conference in Kansas City during the time it will be poured.

Our stupid washer got off kilter today and bounced the detergent off the shelf spilling it all over. That has been a fun clean up this evening. At least it smells good. What a damn mess.

These two were cracking me up today.
