It was a day of calm and rush. In the morning I visited Ruth, my crocheting friend, and we quietly chatted and crocheted for a small hour. I think I crocheted more than she did, as my pattern is easier and hers takes concentration that is diminished when conversation interrupts. No matter. We’re not on a time schedule, so if Ruth wants to talk, we talk.
After that, I went to the new home to await various deliveries. Since I’m supposed to work on Tuesday afternoons I took my computer and did the best I could, given we’re not hooked to the Internet yet. But I managed to finish first quarter budgets, prep this week’s payroll, and have my weekly conversation with the general manager at the warehouse. All this in-between the noises of electric saws and nail guns and hand drills. It was somewhat chaotic.
The calm and rush – they compliment each other. They’re yin and yang in a more moderate sense. Just as I enjoyed sitting and crocheting in Ruth’s room, I also enjoyed the hustle and bustle of workers in our new home.
