Today marks exactly one year since we closed on my grandma's house and I became a homeowner. I miss both of my grandmas so much, every day, and sometimes the ache doesn't ever seem to go away. But I know they must be happy for me, because we're still living here, and even if things aren't perfect, we're trying.
It's a little ironic that today is also the day on which we've finally been able to get someone in here to start repairing last year's water damage in our living room. I really hope it works out, I'm just about out of prayers.
It took me two weeks, 4 highlighters, and around 230 pages of paper, but I finished the lens reconciliation project I was working on at work. Actually, it's just the first stage, but it was the longest, most tedious part, and I'm probably about the only one with the patience and the knowledge of our tracking system to sit down and track approximately 10,000 lenses. It was a big compliment being given that assignment, and I'm hoping it might be the forerunner of more good things to come.
Spent around three hours at church tonight helping to interview two candidates for the choir director position. I had wanted to maybe throw a small "party" tonight, have a special drink, something for the anniversary of getting the house, but this interview business kind of put the end to that. *sighs* Oh well, doubt anyone would have wanted to celebrate with me anyway....
house,
