Day 25: Burn! Burn! Burn! (to Everything There Is a Season)

A massively productive day for me today.

I took some stuff to a friend's garage sale.  I didn't intend to stay but I ended up staying and selling some stuff.  I made about twenty dollars (whoo hoo) and didn't bring the box of extra stuff back(WHOO HOO).

The kids and I arranged the cranes to count them and I made 1055 cranes.  I won't include a photo since I had so many yesterday.

I had a long nap.  I know, I know, this doesn't sound productive but I've been rather burning my candle at both ends lately and I'm bagged.  Squeezing in extra sleep is a huge bonus.

I burned the CD's for both churches' July services today.  During the summer, I get four Sundays off.  It is becoming harder to find (and pay for) a substitute organist.  For the last few years, I have been recording the hymns and burning them onto CD's to be played while I'm away.  This is a fair amount of extra work for me but I'm developing a library so I don't have to record them all every year.

For some reason, it is always an exercise in technical frustration.  Every year, the computer comes up with new and interesting ways to fail.  This year, Mark needed to uninstall and upgrade the CD burning program.  Why?  Who knows.  Last year, we had trouble with the headphones being 'seized' by another program.  Two years ago, random failure of the ejection of the CD tray.  Given that all of this technology works fine separately, I'm assuming the components don't play well with others.

Still, I have burned them all!


And five days ahead of time, so I can drop them off at church tomorrow and essentially be done before my vacation.  Not a bad day.
