I don't want to say I fail at this challenge. Too soon. Although, forgetting to write on day two of the challenge does not exactly bode well.

I'm sure I could create some dramatic metaphor for life. It's probably just easier for all of us if we move on.

The truth is that I spent the day doing yard work with my Mom - then I went to Target and bought some party mix - then I took it to church for a kids movie night. That was the day.

I hung out in the church kitchen and popped popcorn for refills. I scolded the kids who came to hang out near the patio and told them in a hushed scary auntie voice to 'get back inside'.

I've got things going on today. I'm going to church (again). I'm doing some craft projects at the house. I'm having dinner with friends.

I've got one week at home left before it's time for me to head back to the arctic.

I'm just enjoying the mundane.
