Yesterday, it was 70 degrees outside. So what do you do on a beautiful afternoon? Take a walk? Jump on the trampoline? Go for a bike ride? Not me. I take out all 500 pieces of the jigsaw puzzle they call a basketball hoop and try to put them together. I spent 45 minutes on step 18 alone. I can't tell you how many times I had to undo what I'd done. My fingers were sore and nails broken, but I finished about 70% of the thing before I had to ditch all efforts and finish fixing dinner for the company that we were expecting in 30 minutes.
Today I got back to it during Sinatra's nap. Now it's all together on the floor of my garage and I just have to add sand or water to the base.
Many people loathe jobs like that, but I have to admit that I like it. I wasn't too fond of step 18, but for the most part I like the progress and the quick gratification of having completed a project. I like having done it.
