Workouts…

So what…

On Friday morning, I am full of joy to go to our property to receive the machine for our stones, nil. Calls, demands, then the message that it comes on Monday. The architect calls to say that he can’t come, he is sick…. a good start. Stones for the foundations, that were promised for Friday morning, nil, call and get the message that they will come. Reorganize everything, distribute work and muck in myself. Today the sun is shining bright for the first time since I got here, otherwise it was always covered and cloudy, hazy. Despite sweating I am glad that she is here. The truck with murram (similar lava) is used for backfilling, not yet here too. It is afternoon and finally the tide is turning and a truck with stones appears and also the truck with murram comes rolled. The other stones are still not here, and we didn’t get water also. It was supposed to be delivered 2 to 3 times a week, which is not the case… That was my Friday practice session on patience and serenity, which I have mastered, in my view, very good. Today the murram was supposed to be sieved and the iron bent. When we arrived at the site, what astonishment, plan changed, we will concrete the other foundations today. Oh well, I’m flexible. There are still some things missing, which are required before we can begin to concrete. So I organize a moped driver and off we go. At some point we begin to concrete, others sieve the murram, everything goes very tough. Stones shall come, gravel also, water again hasn’t arrived at night, etc. Okay I can be irritated once, but what can I change? And on it goes, always with the temptation to become upset, I can do it and think about what can I change or what can I already prepare. 3 pm the truck with stones arrives. But has no people to unload it. So I make a call, discuss, no I do not pay, it was included in the price. Finally my people unload the truck, received money from the truck driver, I have the workers missing….. It’s weekend, everyone wants to go home, oh there was something else, right there has to be organized a security guard… and on Monday the machine and water will arrive, and stones, and so on … …. certainly, always stay positive
