I think work is going my way today. I have finally changed gears and am really busy, using my brain, and actually having fun. I am getting super excited about working in Peru and am not nervous to leave. Let's put it this way...today is the first day I didn't spend all afternoon job hunting.

I consider myself to be relatively intelligent but for some reason batteries and the way they work alludes me. I work with equipment in the field that can run on either ac or dc, by that I mean it goes both ways. But for some reason, I cannot wrap my brain around watts, volts, power converters, wiring, charging of batteries, what would constitute enough battery back up if the electrical power source is lost,etc. I don't get battery memory...like why is it better for my battery to go totally dead before I charge it than being safe and charging it every two days when there are only two bars left on the screen. It makes me feel stupid! When it comes to battery power I am no better off than the damn bunny.

Highlight of the Day: I came home from work the other day and pulled a bag of veggies I was snacking on out of my bag. My cat, Quinn, proceeded to jump on the counter and start rolling all over it, biting at it, picking it up and throwing it around. I don't know if the celery got him all fired up or what but he was freaking out. Why is that the highlight of today you ask? Because I just thought about it and started cracking up.

Lowlight: the fashion crisis that occurred this morning before I went to work. I hate those. They stress me out!
