busybusy… lots of crappy work to get finished before i take off for the island friday morning. add to that a doctor’s appointment monday, a lab appointment this morning and a dentist appointment tomorrow, the hours i have left to complete all this crap are dwindling. oh yeah, and i don’t want to do any of it now that i have a happy-full belly after lunch at the thai place.
\ni was thinking this morning (while sitting in traffic on the cut because i left later than my normal 6:45 due to the aforementioned lab appointment) about all the skills i have which i don’t actually consider skills. there are a lot of things i do every day which many people can’t do and i take them all for granted. here’s my list:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. drive a car.\n
  2. touch-type.\n
  3. read.\n
  4. write.\n
  5. cook\/bake.\n
  6. use\/build\/understand a computer.\n
  7. find the north star.\n
  8. braid.\n
  9. iron\/laundry.\n
  10. program a vcr.\n
  11. crochet.\n
  12. say “hello” and “yes\/no” in five or six languages.\n
  13. write html.\n
  14. use a card catalogue.\n
  15. sew simple patterns.\n
  16. paint walls\/objects.\n
  17. change the sparkplugs and oil & filter in my car.\n
  18. dial a phone in the dark.\n
  19. get up, showered, dressed and make peanut butter toast all with my eyes closed.\n
  20. ride a bicycle (although it’s been a long while).\n
  21. sign the alphabet excluding f and p thru t.<\/ol>\n

    okay, so it got a little eclectic at the end. but still, sometimes it’s a good idea to take a little inventory of your abilities so you don’t get complacent.
