Patience

Anybody who knows me from growing up knows that I have absolutely no patience what so ever.  The end.  If it can't be done right now and be completed within an hour I don't want to hear about it.  This might be why it is so odd that I have agreed to undertake this yurt building (fiasco) with Alex.  I apologize to everyone who unwittingly has asked me how the yurt is going in the last two weeks.  There is a good chance I tried to bite your nose off, occasionally I might have even lunged for your throat trying to stangle the good intentions out of you. 

Fear not, I am trying to relax.

Part of what that means is that I am pretty resigned to the fact that it could be spring 2014 before I actually have a yurt to live in, and part of it is also that it is easier to just ignore this whole yurt "thang."  Having said that, I love my gym membership.  After five months without a shower I really like to be able to get clean without needing to ask permission to use the hot tub, or stand out getting eaten alive by mosquitoes while I try to wash my hair. 

This weekend and next weekend I am declaring a much needed yurt break.  This weekend I am going to hang out, perhaps go shopping, and go apple picking.  Next weekend I am going to go to the Common Ground Fair up here in Maine.  If you want a fun time check out the CGF in Unity Maine it is a super cool weekend with some amazing crafts and food. 

Since I assume in the two long weeks between these events nothing will get done in terms of cutting the wood we need for the platform I will reevaluate whether I should stab Scott in the eye with a pencil the last week of September in order to go to Home Depot and just buy lumber. 

Anyway until the yurt is up I would recommend the "duck and cover" method of speaking to me since I am a little bit volatile right now...  Or perhaps just bring me some damn cookies and I will be as happy as a kitten!
