the one where i broke my ribs... what a dumbass

Well, so last friday... all my dilligent work of digging 5 foot deep footers payed off. I, in all my gracefulness- stepped into one of them (the deepest one of course)... on my way down- I slammed the top half of me into a 2x4- while the bottom half of me managed to ram into the wall for the form work. And so-- it knocked the breath out of me... no doubt. But i do recall my first sentence ( as soon as I was able to talk) being, " I think I broke my F**king ribs"   Oh well, guess what. I did and it sucks-- and hurts.

And of course, Karl said.. " i knew you would be the one to get hurt"-- thanks pal.

So, the project- its coming along... very quickly. In my absence I was placed into the Landscape group, which is actually super exciting to me... I love that stuff.

As far as the class goes, I was disappointed I missed all the work this past week, but I:
A) needed the break
B) cant do much with out doubling over hurting 
C) noticed how well things came together while I was away... hmmmm.... what could this mean?

I am a little disappointed in people, as in Family ( and not just mine) donating to the project. Sometimes I think it is because they feel like they should be giving like $100, but if they just understood that every little but helps alot. I mean- $15, goes a long ways at this point. It sucks that it is not tax deductible for them to donate to habiTECH- i know that would make a huge difference... because I have had this conversation with several people in my family--- oh well what can you do? I just tell them about the project and try to get them to see that it is all for an excellent cause.... thats all I can do
