Gonna go to bed early tonight. Tomorrow will be a long day at work. I get to my desk around 8 and probably won't get home before 10. We are releasing new version of our programs to 2 of our systems tomorrow. One of the releases set a record for the number of database changes included. AR just got back from his friend's house (they are hard-core paint ballers).
Dinner was ... adequate. SE and I shared the duty tonight and she will have it solo tomorrow. Her SO came over for dinner as well. He is a really nice guy and a joy to have around. After dinner I took food over to the hospital for E.
This weekend I will start prepping for the painting marathon. S&G delivered the base today which will need to be painted before it goes on the wall.
A few parting thoughts from Walt Henrichsen on control and our lives (from a Christian perspective) that seem particularly relevant to me today:
Nobody controls his own life. The following rhetorical questions reveal this fact: Did you determine when you were born? Your parents? The color of your skin, hair, or eyes? The country in which you were born? Your gifts, abilities and intelligence? The circumstances that flow through your life, such as whether you contract cancer? In all probability, you will have no say over when you die. When asking yourself what it is that you control, you conclude that, by and large, only your attitude over what you cannot control. Most of life you spend deciding how you will respond rather than initiating what you will do. Even the decisions you make set in motion events you can only barely discern before the fact and over which you have no real control.
