Where does the Time Go?

My father always told me that as I got older time would seem to pass faster, unseen and before I knew it all my days would run together. He, as he sometimes is, was right.

Almost a month passed and I hadn't even realized it. However, in my defense, work has been trying of late. Certain... turbulence, we'll call it, has given it a more heightened feeling. I come home not only physically but emotionally, mentally drained. My father also used to say that time heals all wounds. For reasons I shall not share, he was not right about that. So, I feel that time will not clean this mess. I'm not sure there is a broom in the world large enough to sweep this up.

EB 48 is down to 2 conglomerates. HEN's is down to floor and all the interior things have been cut out for the most part. Wall trenches getting cut out now. It's like a giant Jenga puzzle. Have to be careful what you cut, can't topple the tower. MTS's conglomerate is winding down. His structure was finished on Friday leaving only the second halves of 2 pits. VER is finishing her floors that are also a part of the MTS conglomerate. She picked up JEP after he finished his pit and they should finish in a week or a week and a half.

MER is still in /4 with JAB sorting out what they sort out. When she comes back (if she comes back? I wouldn't blame her if she didn't) she won't recognize the layout. Need to look at pictures in the lab next rain day and redetermine superpositioning. Basins told us one thing while the trenches are telling us the opposite. Trenches are pretty definite, though.

Got to dig this past week. Finding myself with less to do, so I try to help. I can't exactly just start my own thing as such things are limited, and were I to I'd get a good half hour of digging before I had to go tend to something else. So, I finished a pit off for CAB and helped VLH with a trench long cut to finalize 837 for MTS. It really was nice to have a shovel in my hands again.

Been listening to the same old, MTS burned me off a couple Townes Van Zandt cds. Still need to listen to those. Picked up The Dresden Dolls again. Still very good. Amanda Palmer is an astounding musician.

Time to make pesto!
