Me in ME: Day 19, 20, and 21

The end is near... again... hopefully.

After a successful Friday and Saturday (not to mention some long hours), it looks like we should finish our work on Monday. I actually maxed out my 60 hours for the week by lunch on Friday, and I worked until about 7:00. It's a good thing that our pay week starts over on Saturday, so I was able to get paid for the time I worked on Saturday. After taking today off, we'll be back at work for what will hopefully be our last day of work on this trip. Unfortunately, we can't begin our work on the plane until 1:00 because of some maintenance being done to it, but we only have a handful of things left to do. Of course, that all depends on some much-awaited parts arriving Monday morning.

Actually getting out of Maine may prove difficult. Ideally, I'd like to fly out on Wednesday so that we can use Tuesday as a buffer day should anything go wrong on Monday. The only problem is that we're supposed to get another nasty storm come through mid-day Tuesday and should last until early Wednesday. Tuesday may be pushing it to be ready to go, since we'll probably be working late into Monday night, and our travel planner has a tendancy to schedule 6:00am flights. If we can't get out Tuesday morning, we may not be able to leave until Thursday.

Today also marked my third and finaly Sunday at The Rock Church. I have really enjoyed visiting that church. If any of my readers are ever in downeast Maine, you should stop by. They are some very friendly and loving people. I had lunch afterward with the same group from last week at the same place, plus another 4 people from the church. It's probably a good thing that it's my last Sunday or else Panera might see a group of 16 people show up from the church since the group doubled from last week to this week.

Well, that catches you up on what I've been up to since the world seemed to fall apart on Thursday. I'm doing much better now, and I'm really looking forward to seeing what's left of the warm Texas February.

I'm glad to hear that the end is in sight. Hopefully all works out for you to catch an early flight before the storm hits the Eastern Seaboard. We're going to have freaky weather down here today as we're supposed to hit 80 before a cold front moves in. Tomorrow's high is expected only to be around 50.

Have a good last couple of days in lobster land and come home safe. We've warmed up the drum pads for you and they are ready for you to pound on.

Glad to hear that things are going better. Hopefully the weather holds out for you to get home safely. And if that isn't until Thursday, at least you can kick back and relax (provided you aren't stranded in an airport somewhere). Our weather has been so unseasonably warm that it is hard to imagine all the snow and ice.

Love,
Mom
