Now I know!

So Now I Know

The consequence of not completing 

What I said I would do 

is the minor but annoying punishment of not allowing myself to use Twitter...

I agreed (in my head) to the rule of not using social media until I had written at least 500 words. I did not do that, so I didn't get to log on to Twitter. And I really wanted to. I watched two movies at home and I really wanted to tweet about them. I had some screenshots all ready to share, and I was disappointed that I wasn't able to do that. So I guess I proved to myself that it is a rather strong motivation to write.

I did watch a music video on YouTube that I wanted to share, so I shared it as a blog post and that was okay and different, but it didn't count as words.

Back to School

I finally checked my emails from school and Gmail, and sorted out as much as I could. There were hundreds of things because it's been weeks. I also went to the school I'll be working at in Fall and said hello and looked around a bit. They said there will be a meet and greet later in August. It looks like a great school, not as new as the one I was at before, more lived in and old school, pardon the pun.

Oh, the Cars

One of our cars has been overheating and Meineke couldn't tell us why so we went to a radiator specific place and they said head gasket! Yikes! The other is even older and although it passed DEQ two years ago, it failed two weeks in a row this month. Then it just died on the way home, and I was frightened, so we dropped it off at Meineke. Because although they aren't the best, they are nearby and familiar to me. Fortunately, I am able to ride my bike to school. But car problems are never fun. I suppose any problem isn't fun unless it's a challenge that you can personally figure out and solve; it usually just ends up costing lots of money.

Attitude of Gratitude

I want to try and be more grateful for the blessings and positives that I have in my life. I know that you get out of life what you put into it, and I think I need to do more work toward that goal. Oh wait a sec. UPS is here! The ukulele hath arrived!! Yippee Yi Ay Aloha Ay!

Okay, I am immediately so very grateful that this has finally come. Thank you God, Thank you Steve, and Thank you Amazon. Also, Thank you UPS, Thank you Donner ukuleles and Thank you to the people in China who worked to assemble this musical instrument. I am very excited to try to tune it and learn some songs! I think that I will have a lot more success with it than with guitar. God Bless!
