I'm a versatile kind of guy.
Not much happened today that was exciting. My sunburn got worse, I worked outside today, and then I came home. My life is so fulfilling…okay.
I tried donating plasma today, but my pulse was 2 bpm too high. I haven’t called that one person yet about that date thingymabobber but I really need to soon!
Wednesdays, as of late, have been either the only or one of two days of the week that I don’t have something going on. I love having some of that me time!
At work, I was outside all day. I would not be surprised if I walked a good 3 or 4 miles. I also got a bit burned from the sun (this is why rain is better than sun). I loved the wind though, it made the sun bearable.
Woke up at 5am (see a reoccurring theme here?) today. At work we did more signage and worked outside for a good amount of time. After work, I went to my Grandmother’s house to cut her lawn.

We started by signing “For the Beauty of the Earth,” as we focused today on the creation. We saw two videos from Elders Neal A Maxwell and Russell M Nelson about the heavens and the creation of Earth.
Willie: Excuse me, sir, could you tell me who gave you our name? Guy from the Alien Task Force: As I told Ms. Tanner, that’s strictly Ochmonek–anonymous.
Following a spiritual high and other wonderful events on Sunday, yesterday (at least for a Monday) was surprisingly great.
Today was epic! I woke up at 5am as I usually do on Sundays. The weather was absolutely, positively, drop-dead gorgeous. Today’s high was 75° and mostly sunny.
Church was wonderful, the spirit felt by all. In priesthood, we were taught by Steven Richards from the Joseph Fielding Smith book in chapter 10, “Our Search for Truth.” I particularly love talking about how truth comes from God, is the only thing we can take back to Heaven, and that we are encouraged by the Church to gain truth and knowledge.
Thursday was your typical day. I woke up, showered, got dressed, ate, went to work, come home, ate again, went to sleep. Wash, rinse, and repeat.
It’s Wednesday! Yay! Two more days until Friday!
Work today consisted of tossing old steel shelving in to dumpsters–there’s nothing like making a ruckus early in the morning! Then I swept for the rest of the morning. Lastly, I put up new signage. Fun? Sure.
Tuesday opened as a slow, boring, tired day. Typical.
Work started out slowly today, then for the last hour it kind of picked up speed.
Woke up at 3:45am to the sights and sounds of a thunderstorm. What a wonderful way to start a work week! Being in a fourth floor apartment, thunder is amplified tremendously, but I’m not complaining. I quickly rolled out of bed, turned on my video camera and hit record.
In Wisconsin, way too often Sundays are quite the contrary–it’s cloudy, raining, or snowy. What a blessing it is today to enjoy the sunshine outside, unfortunately I’ve been stuck inside the church for 7 hours, but the sun’s rays have filled the chapel and the foyers. However, as I type this, the clouds roll in bringing storms. This Sunday is also Mother’s day, a chance to reflect on our Mother’s loving influences.
