Completion.
Every night I pick up my to-do list, mourn how nothing on it is fixed or completed, and begin to add even more items to it. It has become more and more difficult to end each day with a profound sense of “incomplete” in my life – nothing getting finished, while more and more things require attention.
Today brought with it the completion of several outstanding items.
1. Bottle Drive.
We had a bottle drive for our teens. While not technically an unresolved task-list item, it was an event that feels remarkably successful, and there is a certain amount of dread and fear that accompanies even the smallest youth event. Completed.
2. Cable Wiring.
Every year the church rents a big-screen tv for a superbowl party, and we enjoy a great time of food and fellowship. After the Superbowl last year, I got to thinking about how we could splice our cable and run it to the church for this event – and tonight I completed it. It involved a ditch witch, 200 ft of underground cabling, and more RG6 splitters, connectors, and crimp-style terminators than you would believe. Can I register for a Crimping tool in a baby registry?
3. Firefly Imageworks Persistent Cart
I’ve been doing some application development for Firefly Imageworks on-and-off (mostly off.. sorry d.j!) but completed the bulk of a Persistent Cart tonight. I built the major portion of the Cart mechanism back in August, but some major work was left incomplete… until today.
We’ll see how much more I can get done before The Boy gets here in about 3 weeks!
