Friday update of Spring Break week

Just for the record, this week the following didn’t happen

1. The wood for the trim didn’t show up
2. Massero (contractors) didn’t finish sanding the sanctuary wall, so I couldn’t prime it
3. No volunteers showed up all week
4. No paint was purchased for me to finish painting the purple wall
5. I didn't make any money
6. I didn’t finish all 4 eyes for the stain glass windows
7. The handicap ramp has yet to be finished.
8. I didn’t catalog every single tool the UP owns...
9. We didn’t get more lead cane for the windows... we need to do that very soon

What did get done this week
1. I made sun catchers for the UP donors
2. I made one eye
3. I found 130 venues in Pittsburgh to contact about donating equipment
4. I found corporate sponsors to contact
5. I contacted music equipment providers to see if they would donate for our studio
6. Justin made the tech box for the fireplace that will house the DVD player and all the cords for the TV
7. The doors for the Cafe were installed, and some of the cafe can be primed this weekend with volunteers (hopefully they show up)
8. The stained glass windows for those doors have been finished, but we ran out of rebar...
9. I caught up on my sleep
10. Probably some other stuff

It was really difficult this week without anyone being at the UP. It was just taxing and not very relaxing. Oh well, summer break will be here in 49 days. That’s correct, April 29th, school is done for the spring term, woo hoo.

Ok, time to eat some food, because apparently I haven’t been doing enough of that because the Italian lady at the deli told me I lost weight and look thin, so she gave me an extra piece of chicken on my sandwich. Yum.
